Case Study: a.k.a. Brands achieves streamlined SOX compliance and reduced audit burden with FloQast Compliance Management

How FloQast Compliance Management Is Helping a.k.a. Brands Build a Robust Compliance Function

a.k.a. Brands is a San Francisco–based, public direct‑to‑consumer platform that acquires and scales digitally native fashion labels (including Culture Kings, Princess Polly, Petal & Pup, and MNML). Its decentralized model left each brand operating with separate ERPs, systems, and spreadsheet‑based close processes, creating poor visibility for corporate accounting, a heavy audit burden, and a pressing need to build a repeatable SOX compliance program.

The company implemented FloQast Close and Compliance Management to centralize reconciliations, embed a risk control matrix, capture control evidence during close tasks, and automate PBC requests and testing. As a result, a.k.a. Brands gained real‑time visibility and executive accountability, reduced audit time and cost, improved cross‑team collaboration, and built greater confidence and agility in its compliance program.
