Case Study: Brunswick achieves automated, lightning-fast, error-free tax filing with CSC Corptax

Automating the Filing Process with Optimum Flexibility through Corptax Compliance

Brunswick, a global manufacturer of boats, marine engines, fitness equipment and recreational products, needed to overhaul a redundant, highly manual tax returns process after switching financial reporting systems. Short-staffed and pressed for time, they wanted a low‑effort, flexible solution to eliminate spreadsheets, avoid rekeying data, and create a single system of record — they selected CSC Corptax and its Corptax Compliance product to meet those needs.

CSC Corptax implemented Corptax Compliance, which automated data extraction, calculations and workpapers to create a one‑step compliance process; as a result Brunswick cut federal return processing from 3–5 days to a half day, reduced trial balance downloads from 30 days to a half day, and shortened automated workpapers from 2–3 days to a couple of hours. The solution eliminated manual keying, improved cross‑functional and international data use, and delivered measurable quality gains — zero audit errors, zero correcting entries outside of tax, and zero SOX exceptions — enabling filings at “lightning speed.”
