WHY THIS MATTERS
The strategic partnership between FloQast and Forvis Mazars Germany, announced on May 12, 2026, marks a major milestone in FloQast’s aggressive DACH region expansion. By combining its AI-powered “Accounting Transformation Platform” with the deep industry expertise of Forvis Mazars, FloQast is positioning itself to tackle the unique regulatory complexities and the acute accounting talent shortage in Germany. This collaboration follows the April 2026 opening of FloQast’s Berlin hub, signaling a commitment to providing localized, high-impact automation that meets the rigorous “auditable” standards required by German finance leaders.
The partnership focuses on the Record-to-Report (R2R) cycle, utilizing FloQast AI Agents to transform traditional accounting roles. These agents allow teams to move away from being “preparers” of manual data and toward becoming “strategic reviewers.” By automating high-impact tasks like Close Management and Compliance using natural language prompts, the joint solution allows German enterprises to bypass traditional IT hurdles and achieve greater operational agility while maintaining a strict cryptographic audit trail.
FloQast, the Accounting Transformation Platform created by accountants for accountants to automate accounting and audit workflows with AI, today unveiled a strategic partnership with Forvis Mazars Germany focused on enhancing operational efficiency through the automation of key accounting processes.
The collaboration seeks to combine FloQast’s AI-powered workflows with Forvis Mazars’ expertise in designing closing processes to boost efficiency, increase accuracy, and provide deeper insights for businesses across various industries.
“Our partnership with Forvis Mazars reinforces our commitment to helping accounting teams across EMEA adapt to the evolving demands of the profession,” said Aaron O’Donoghue, Alliances Lead, EMEA, FloQast. “With increasing regulatory complexity and a shrinking talent pool, finance teams need smarter, more efficient ways to work. By combining FloQast’s AI-powered technology with Forvis Mazars’ deep industry expertise, we’re enabling organisations to improve accuracy, enhance compliance, and drive greater operational agility. Furthermore, this partnership is a critical driver for our DACH expansion strategy, allowing us to further localised, high-impact AI automation to the German markets.”
Following the April opening of its Berlin hub to meet growing demand across the DACH region, FloQast is accelerating the modernisation of essential accounting and audit workflows. By integrating seamlessly with existing systems, the platform allows teams to bypass IT complexity and immediately automate high-impact processes like Close Management and Compliance. This transformation is driven by FloQast AI Agents: a groundbreaking, auditable AI capability that enables accountants to automate complex, recurring workflows using natural language rather than code—streamlining the record-to-report process and allowing teams to better leverage data to drive organisational strategy.
FF NEWS TAKE
FloQast is successfully “exporting” its accountant-first philosophy to the German market, where precision and compliance are non-negotiable. The alliance with Forvis Mazars is a tactical masterstroke, as it provides FloQast with the local “boots on the ground” needed to navigate the complex German GAAP and tax reporting landscape. By leveraging Forvis Mazars’ consultancy excellence, FloQast is ensuring that its AI Agent Builder—launched globally in late March 2026—is tuned to the specific logic and workflows of European mid-market and enterprise businesses.
The real differentiator here is the No-Code Visual Agent Builder. In a region where IT resources are often a bottleneck, the ability for an accountant to “draw” a workflow and have an AI agent execute it is a game-changer. As DACH-based finance teams face increasing pressure to do “more with less,” the 30% reduction in time-to-close typically seen on the FloQast platform becomes a powerful economic argument. If this partnership hits its targets, we expect FloQast to quickly become the standard-bearer for ISO 42001-certified AI adoption across Central Europe.
