Case Study: Carpenter Co. cuts tax filing time from weeks to days with CSC Corptax

Carpenter Co cuts filing time from 6 weeks to days with CSC Corptax

Carpenter Co., a manufacturer with 60 global locations, faced significant challenges with its legacy tax software and heavy reliance on manual Excel processes. Its small tax team suffered from bottlenecks that limited system access to one user at a time, causing state filings to lag six weeks behind the federal return. Disconnected systems for international and provision work also led to inconsistencies, lengthy manual reconciliations, and a lack of confidence in the accuracy of their numbers. To address this, they implemented CSC Corptax.

With CSC Corptax's integrated platform for domestic and international compliance and provision, the team automated data flows and enabled real-time collaboration. This solution slashed their filing time from approximately six weeks to just a few days, allowing them to file over 30 state returns rapidly after the federal deadline. The automation eliminated manual rekeying and reconciliations, provided accuracy across all entities, and freed the team to focus on strategic work. The system also proved its resilience by seamlessly handling a major, last-minute acquisition.
