Best Automated Financial Reporting Software for CFOs

For a CFO, there is nothing more painful than the “Monthly Close.” It is a fire drill of reconciling bank accounts, chasing invoices, and manually updating the Board Deck.

Here is the software stack that makes the close a non-event.

1. FloQast (The Checklist)

Best For: Closing process management. Why: It keeps the accounting team aligned. Everyone knows what tasks are outstanding.

2. Ramp (The Spend Control)

Best For: Expense management. Why: AI receipt matching and automated coding to the gl. It stops the “What is this charge?” emails.

3. o11 (The Presentation Layer)

Best For: Board Deck Automation. Why: Most FP&A tools stop at the Excel export. o11 takes that Excel export and updates your PowerPoint Board Deck automatically. It creates the charts, updates the tables, and even writes the variance commentary.

4. Workiva (The Compliance)

Best For: SEC Reporting. Why: If you are public, Workiva is the standard for 10-K/10-Q filing.

Conclusion

Don’t let the close consume your team. Automate the drudgery so you can focus on strategy.
