Case Study: Fanatics achieves 50% faster month-end close and audit-ready controls with FloQast

Fanatics Boosts Confidence 
 in Completeness and Cuts Days-To Close by 50 Percent

Fanatics, a global online sports retailer with more than 80 offices and over $8 billion in revenue, faced a chaotic month‑end close driven by spreadsheets, emails, and paper reports. Thousands of accounts across retail, wholesale, and e‑commerce teams left leaders without confidence in completeness or timing, and with a planned IPO on the horizon the company needed stronger controls and faster, more reliable closes.

By implementing FloQast — including ERP integration, automated trial balance updates, centralized reconciliations, checklists and dashboards — Fanatics gained real‑time visibility and tightened controls to public accounting standards. The Commerce close time fell from 12 to 6 days, more than 300 users perform 6,000+ monthly sign‑offs, and the first year‑end audit with FloQast finished in 45 days versus 90 previously, improving speed, accuracy and IPO readiness.
