Case Study: Saddle Creek reduces audit prep time and frees accountants for analysis with BlackLine

Saddle Creek cuts audit prep from 3 hours to minutes with BlackLine

Saddle Creek, a midsize logistics company, faced significant challenges due to its rapid growth. Its accounting department was burdened by a manual, paper-based reconciliation process that was time-consuming, difficult to track, and made audit preparation arduous. This inefficient system was hindering the team's ability to keep up with the increasing number of GL accounts and preventing them from focusing on more valuable analytical work.

To solve this, Saddle Creek implemented BlackLine's automated account reconciliation solution. The results were transformative, freeing accountants for value-added research, increasing accuracy, and drastically reducing audit prep time from three hours to just minutes. BlackLine also improved visibility, accelerated new hire training, and provided the department with a single, cloud-based platform for all its reconciliation needs.
