Products & services

Workiva’s cloud platform connects financial reporting, sustainability management, and governance, risk and compliance (GRC) in a collaborative, controlled environment. It integrates data from hundreds of ERP, HCM, CRM and other cloud and on-premises applications, enabling users to automate data updates, track changes, and prepare linked reports and regulatory filings.[1]+2 Its SEC and SEDAR reporting capabilities support data collection, drafting, documentation, XBRL/iXBRL tagging and filing of reports such as 10-Ks, 10-Qs, registration statements, proxy statements and Section 16 reports.[12]

GRC offerings cover internal audit, internal controls, risk, policy, vendor risk and IT risk management. Internal audit features include risk assessments, audit planning, workpapers, testing, issue management, reporting, permissions and audit trails.[13][14] Workiva Carbon supports Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions accounting, tracking, collaboration and reporting, including supply-chain data and decarbonization activities.[15][16] Workiva also describes AI capabilities and a strategic move toward an “agentic-first” platform; that description reflects a development direction, rather than indicating that all planned capabilities are generally available.[17][18]

Services include professional services, including XBRL services, alongside implementation and consulting support delivered in part through partners. Workiva’s support offering includes live phone support 24/7 in more than 190 languages.[19]+2 For the six months ended June 30, 2026, subscription and support revenue was $461.657 million of $502.596 million in total revenue, or approximately 91.9%; this is a revenue-category split, not a breakdown by individual product.[22] [1]+15

Geographic presence

For FY2025, 27% of Workiva’s revenue came from outside the United States. Europe was its largest concentration of foreign sales; the company does not provide a country-by-country revenue breakdown in the cited annual-report information.[23][24]

Workiva’s operational headquarters are in Ames, Iowa, where it leases approximately 120,000 square feet. Its office locations span North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, including the United States, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Australia, Singapore and Japan.[25][6] At December 31, 2025, the company had approximately 2,860 full-time employees worldwide; the cited filing does not specify their distribution by geography.[8] [23]+4

Business segments

Workiva reports one operating and reportable segment; it does not disclose separate reportable segments by solution area. Management reviews results on a consolidated basis, with no segment managers accountable for individual components.[26] The company’s unified platform serves financial reporting, sustainability management, and governance, risk and compliance needs; these are business focus areas, not separately reported segments.[17]

As an alternative view of the business, FY2025 revenue was approximately 91.9% subscription and support and 8.1% professional services, based on reported revenue of $812.6 million and $71.9 million, respectively. These are revenue categories, not segment contributions.[7] [26]+2
