No massive reports: three clicks and you know enough

Flanc + Liquid = real-time control for growth companies

Chris Schulte is a business advisor at Flanc: not a traditional consultancy firm, but a growth partner for SMEs. They help companies, from small operations to 300 employees, with finance, strategy, and organization. Instead of traditional hourly billing advice, they act as a true partner. Flanc provides solutions that help business owners move forward immediately.

When Excel falls short

Flanc worked with Excel for forecasts, reporting, and scenarios for a long time. Chris explains: “We built a lot ourselves, but that took time. It went from client to accountant to colleague and back again. Before you know it, a week has gone by.”

Flanc was one of Liquid's first partners and the company helped shape the development of the tool's early versions. Chris: “We tried various tools, but Liquid simply works faster and more intuitively. It aligns better with how we and our clients want to work: direct, clear, and straightforward. Now everything is ready in real-time in one environment. Three clicks and you have your report, scenario, or update. That’s how fast it needs to be.”

Real-time steering = better business

For Flanc, Liquid truly makes the difference in how they collaborate with clients. Chris adds: “We want to look ahead alongside the business owner. That’s only possible with real-time figures. Liquid shows where you stand right now and helps you make decisions for the future.”

It’s also a breath of fresh air for business owners themselves. “Many business owners prefer working on their business rather than on their admin. Liquid makes the numbers accessible, visual, and understandable. Even for people who never look inside accounting software.”

Partnering with Liquid: Staying on the ball

Flanc works closely with the Liquid team. “If something can be improved or isn't working, we let them know. Sometimes it gets updated that very same week.” That direct access makes the difference for Chris. “You can tell they keep developing based on what customers actually need.”

Liquid doesn’t work if you’re standing still

Liquid is best suited for companies looking to accelerate. “If your accounting is only updated once a quarter, you won't get as much out of it. But for companies that want to scale up and maintain tight control? Then this is the tool.”
