Case Study: Molson Coors achieves a streamlined, faster financial close and 49% ROI with BlackLine

Molson Coors deployed BlackLine as part of a larger initiative to internalize and update its accounting processes

Molson Coors, a top-five global brewer with more than 17,000 employees, faced limited visibility and fragmented accounting after outsourcing finance services and relying on spreadsheets and a legacy Trintech system—issues that became more pressing following its 2016 Miller acquisition. The company needed to internalize accounting processes and modernize its corporate performance management to gain clearer, timelier insight into quarterly and monthly financial activity.

Molson Coors selected BlackLine for its usability and reporting, consolidating journal entries and reconciliations into a single, internally managed platform. The deployment eliminated a third‑party provider, cut data silos and errors, sped reconciliations, improved audit readiness and organizational visibility, and delivered a 49% ROI with a 2.3‑year payback.
