Case Study: R.J. O’Brien cuts reconciliation times from days to minutes with Duco

Cutting Reconciliation Times From Days to Minutes

R.J. O’Brien, the largest independent futures brokerage firm in the United States, needed a faster way to handle highly manual, time-consuming reconciliations across its middle and back office. Working with Duco, the firm looked to automate complex data integrity and reconciliation processes that had previously required significant manual effort and IT support.

Duco’s cloud-based reconciliation solution helped R.J. O’Brien automate treasury and check reconciliations, adapt to different broker data formats, and scale more efficiently as it onboarded new carrying brokers. The results were dramatic: one monthly treasury reconciliation dropped from two full days of work to under three minutes, reducing risk, freeing staff time, and enabling greater economies of scale.
