## Short answer

FloQast is a close checklist and account reconciliation platform. It pulls NetSuite ledger data through a built-for-NetSuite SuiteApp using native NetSuite APIs, so accountants can tie out balances and run flux analysis without exporting spreadsheets. It reads from the ledger; journals are still posted in NetSuite.

## Integration

**Method:** Built for NetSuite SuiteApp

**Detail:** FloQast describes a SuiteApp that uses native NetSuite APIs to pull trial balance and transaction data for reconciliation tie-outs and flux analysis.

**Method:** Saved searches and reports as sources

**Detail:** Teams commonly extend tie-outs with NetSuite saved searches for subledger detail. This is a general practice; confirm what FloQast supports in your plan.

## Data Flows

**From:** NetSuite

**To:** FloQast

**Data:** Trial balance by period, subsidiary and account

**Trigger:** Period close or refresh

**From:** NetSuite

**To:** FloQast

**Data:** Transaction detail for reconciling accounts

**Trigger:** Reconciliation opened or refreshed

**From:** NetSuite

**To:** FloQast

**Data:** Prior period balances for flux comparison

**Trigger:** Flux analysis run

**From:** FloQast

**To:** Accounting team

**Data:** Task status, sign-offs and review notes

**Trigger:** Checklist progress

## Setup

### Install and authorize

**Detail:** Install the SuiteApp, create an integration role limited to financial read access and authorize the connection.

### Map subsidiaries and accounts

**Detail:** Confirm the chart of accounts, subsidiaries and currencies map correctly, including consolidation rules.

### Build the close checklist

**Detail:** Recreate your close calendar with owners, dependencies and review levels.

### Set up reconciliations

**Detail:** Assign each balance sheet account a reconciliation method and a supporting data source.

### Define flux thresholds

**Detail:** Agree percentage and amount thresholds that trigger explanations.

### Run a parallel close

**Detail:** Run one close with both old and new processes and compare tie-outs.

## Pitfalls

- Role permissions that hide some subsidiaries or accounts, so balances do not tie.
- Late journals posted after a snapshot, creating differences between FloQast and NetSuite.
- Multi-currency and consolidation settings producing different balances than the NetSuite reports.
- Reconciliations relying on spreadsheets that are not refreshed, so supporting data goes stale.
- Thresholds set too tight, flooding reviewers with explanations that carry no information.

## Ai Layer

### Draft flux explanations

**Description:** A private assistant can read ledger movements and underlying transactions and draft a first explanation of a variance for an accountant to edit and approve.

### Unreconciled item matching

**Description:** Suggest likely matches for open reconciling items across transaction detail, for review before any journal is posted.

### Close status questions

**Description:** Let a controller ask which accounts are blocking close and why, drawing on checklist and ledger data.

## Alternatives

- For a small entity, NetSuite's own period close checklist and account reconciliation features may be enough.
- NetSuite's Financial Close Management add-on is a native alternative worth comparing for cost and fit.
- Spreadsheet-based reconciliation with saved searches works for low account counts, at the cost of control and audit trail.

## Faq

### How does FloQast get data from NetSuite?

**Answer:** FloQast describes a built-for-NetSuite SuiteApp that uses native NetSuite APIs to pull ledger data for reconciliation tie-outs and flux analysis. Access is governed by the NetSuite role you assign, so check that it can see all subsidiaries and accounts you close.

### Does FloQast post journals back to NetSuite?

**Answer:** Its role here is checklist, reconciliation and flux analysis against ledger data. Treat journal posting as a NetSuite activity unless the vendor documents otherwise for your plan, and keep a human approval step on any adjusting entries.

### Can AI help with the close without leaking financial data?

**Answer:** A privately hosted model can read approved ledger extracts and draft variance notes or suggest matches. NetSuite is cloud-hosted, so the control lies in what the assistant may read; accountants review every explanation and approve any entry.
