"I don't think you can do it without using a product like the Workiva platform. We went public with an Up-C corporate structure, and I don’t know how you would do it in a traditional model and meet your deadline."
"Before Workiva, we were coming in on nights and weekends to implement last-minute changes. With Workiva, we rarely need to."
"With Workiva, we have much more transparency and trust with our data. The consistency and integrity of the data is guaranteed throughout the reports, and this is a big benefit for us. It’s amazing to work with Workiva. It’s just a tremendous platform."
"The more you put into Workiva, the more you get out. Spend the time to really make the platform your own, and the time and financial savings you reap just grow exponentially."
"Workiva presents long-term benefits to foster efficiency and consistency."
"Instead of scrambling to combine different documents and dreading last-minute updates, using Workiva for our board reporting process has helped us collaborate remotely without missing a beat."
"It's made my life easier just because it's removed so much stress, so many time pressures. It's just improved the process with being able to do things electronically and not pass paper around."
"To know that our CAFR is complete and accurate and that people can rely on it, it's a really nice feeling."
"Word processing doesn't give you any job satisfaction, and it doesn't capitalize on the talents of your team. But, if you spend the time and implement a platform like Workiva, I can testify to the fact that people become more satisfied in their jobs, and secondly, they become more able to use the skills that they have at a higher level beyond just word processing."
"The fact that we were able to achieve the aspirations we set out a year ago really comes down to teamwork, and the availability of the Workiva platform to our team and auditors."
"The attachments function was almost essential for us. Being able to upload supporting evidence into a cell within the spreadsheet was absolutely brilliant. Our auditor embraced this straight away. We could easily show them the evidence and they could see it right there on the number that was affected. That made life so much easier."
"Previously, we ran into some bottlenecks, as we would have to wait for each person to finish their work before we could access the document or presentation. Now, we can all work on the report at the same time, and we can control who can access and edit each part of the document."
"The whole Workiva platform and its impact over the SEC filing process has just been a game changer for us."
"Previously, we had to assign a project leader who was responsible for incorporating all the changes during the review process. Now, everyone, including our external lawyers, have access to the platform and can directly make edits or leave comments."
"I'm telling you. I don't think Workiva has a peer as far as breadth of vision and technology and track record."
