Case Study: Braden Europe reduces reconciliation time from five days to one with BlackLine

Braden Europe cuts reconciliation time from 5 days to 1 with BlackLine

Braden Europe, a subsidiary of Global Power Group that designs components for power plants, faced significant challenges with its manual, spreadsheet-based account reconciliation process. The lean accounting team spent up to five days monthly on error-prone reconciliations, which led to audit difficulties and threatened SOX compliance. To address this, they partnered with BlackLine and implemented its Finance Controls and Automation platform.

By using BlackLine, Braden Europe automated its reconciliation process, which integrated easily with its Epicor ERP system. The results were substantial: the time spent on reconciliations was reduced from five days to just one. This automation also streamlined audits, reduced repetitive work through auto-certification, and decreased errors, allowing the team to focus on strategic analysis and ensuring greater accuracy and compliance.
