Case Study: Clean Simple Eats achieves a month-end close reduction from 60–80 hours to under 5 hours with Blue Onion

How Clean Simple Eats Went From 60+ Hours to Under 5 for Month-End Close

Clean Simple Eats, an e‑commerce brand focused on macro‑balanced meal plans and supplements, struggled after moving to NetSuite with manual, error‑prone reconciliation of Shopify and Shop Cash transactions. Controller Brett Bunker was spending nights and weeks each month reconciling orders and payouts, creating stress and extending month‑end close to 60–80 hours until they engaged Blue Onion and its machine‑learning reconciliation solution (including Blue Onion’s Shop Cash feature).

Blue Onion implemented an ML‑driven platform to merge NetSuite, Shopify and Shop Cash data, provide transaction‑level reconciliation, and push deposits into NetSuite for clean general ledger entries. As a result, Blue Onion helped Clean Simple Eats reduce month‑end close from 60–80 hours to under 5 hours, enabled Brett to push roughly 1,000 deposits into NetSuite in about a week, smoothed their first audit, improved accuracy, and provided ongoing accounting expert support.
