"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."
"I wouldn’t use a traditional tool to manage the S-1 document. It’s very important that all the data lives in one place where it can be comprehensively managed. Wdesk made it easier to control."
"With Workiva, you minimize the risk of errors."
"Our IPO didn't feel painful. And I think a big part of that was being able to use Wdesk like we did."
"We were actually at a point where either we were going to have to start cutting audits out of our plan every year, or we were going to have to look at bringing in an additional person."
"One of our executive leaders said this is the most intuitive system they have seen, and they absolutely love how easy it is."
"Moving from traditional printers to Workiva was like going from typewriter to computer."
"I can get a level of comfort any day, any time of the year about how our compliance testing is going."
"Workiva provided our team a complete solution that is aligned with how our firm and more importantly, our clients work today."
"People can see the benefit of the product very easily. It’s very easy to onboard Workiva."
“Whenever we'd have a late entry, for example, an adjustment to the tax rate—we would have to book the entry into our ERP and then the ERP would refresh the data in our data warehouse once a day, And so the financial reporting team would have to wait a whole day before we could restart our tie-outs again. It was just really inefficient.”
"Workiva helps us reduce risk by making sure that the data that we have in our platform is the single source of truth."
“If part of a process isn’t working, then we are enabled to find a solution. We are able to speak out when something doesn’t work and say that we need to find something that does. As a team, we are able to better our business.”
