Case Study: The Boston Globe achieves greater efficiency, accuracy, and capacity with FloQast

FloQast Helps Boston Globe Media Partners Improve Efficiency, Accuracy, and Capacity

Boston Globe Media Partners, publisher of The Boston Globe, needed a more efficient month-end close process after relying on BlackLine primarily for external audits. The accounting team faced double work, manual Excel-based reconciliations, limited collaboration tools, and a single-person dependency for pulling trial balances, all of which hampered accuracy, visibility, and scalability.

They implemented FloQast—integrated with NetSuite—to automate reconciliations, pull real-time trial balances, create flux analyses, and centralize communication and task management. The conversion took about six weeks with minimal effort from the team, and outcomes included better controls with reconciliation approvals, maintained five-day closes with greater efficiency and accuracy, and more capacity for documentation and cross-training.
