View company profile

Workiva's journey began in 2008, initially formed as WebFilings LLC in California by six entrepreneurs, including Martin Vanderploeg. The company was founded with the vision to revolutionize how corporations managed and reported business data. At a time when cloud adoption was still nascent, Workiva boldly launched its first cloud solution in 2010. This pioneering move was met with trust from companies, both large and small, who recognized the platform's unique ability to enable collaboration with control and accountability. This early success marked a significant shift in financial and compliance reporting.

As the demand for its solutions grew across finance, compliance, risk, and audit teams, the company rebranded to Workiva LLC in July 2014 and converted into a Delaware LLC in September 2014. This change reflected its expanding capabilities and market reach. A pivotal moment in Workiva's history was its initial public offering (IPO) in December 2014, trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker WK. This milestone fueled further growth and innovation. Over the years, Workiva has consistently expanded its platform's capabilities, introducing solutions like Wdata to connect large datasets and acquiring companies like OneCloud in 2021 to enhance integration capabilities and AuditNet to bolster audit content and services. In February 2023, Julie Iskow was appointed CEO, succeeding Marty Vanderploeg, to lead Workiva into its next phase of growth, focusing on powering transparent reporting for a better world. Today, Workiva stands as a global software-as-a-service (SaaS) leader, providing a cloud-based connected reporting and compliance platform that empowers thousands of organizations worldwide to streamline processes, connect data and teams, and ensure consistency in their financial, ESG, and GRC reporting.
