Workiva Inc.

Ames, IA

Workiva Inc. (NYSE: WK) simplifies complex work for thousands of organizations worldwide. Customers trust Workiva’s open, intelligent, and intuitive platform to connect data, documents, and teams. The results: improved efficiency, greater transparency, and less risk

We founded WebFilings in 2008 to change the way corporations were managing and reporting business data. We released our first cloud solution in 2010 at a time when most companies were hesitant to place their trust in the cloud. That quickly changed.

Our Wdesk platform caught on like wildfire. Companies big and small adopted Wdesk because for the first time, they could collaborate with control and accountability.

We changed our company name to Workiva in 2014 to keep pace with growing demand for our solutions from finance, compliance, risk, and audit teams.

Today, Wdesk is modernizing how people work across thousands of organizations around the globe, including 75 percent of the Fortune 500®

We pioneered a cloud platform that was so innovative that within its first 5 years, it was being used by more than 65 percent of the Fortune 500®.

Our customers love Wdesk because we deliver a platform that they want and need. Wdesk gives them the same features at work—speed, access, and sharing—that they use at home. Even though Wdesk feels like a familiar consumer application to our users, it is powered by one of the fastest, safest, and most sophisticated data management engines available today.

We built Wdesk to save our customers time, money, and other resources, so they can spend more time on what matters most.
