Case Study: Big Ass Fans achieves a 3-day close and error-free audits with BlackLine

Big Ass Fans cuts month-end close to 3 days with BlackLine

Big Ass Fans, a manufacturer of high-volume, low-speed industrial fans, faced significant challenges in its finance and accounting operations after an acquisition. A material weakness found during an audit revealed completely substandard processes, prompting the new CFO to seek a transformation. The company turned to BlackLine for its Account Reconciliations and Task Management solutions to automate and increase the accuracy of its financial close.

By implementing BlackLine, Big Ass Fans achieved a remarkable transformation. The solution enabled a three-day monthly close, reduced headcount by 30%, and facilitated error-free audits. BlackLine provided a streamlined and insightful process that freed staff from manual work for more value-added tasks and supported remote work capabilities, creating a best-in-class finance operation.
