Case Study: SoundCloud achieves smoother, faster month-end close with FloQast

Month-End Dependability Enhancing SoundCloud’s Close

SoundCloud, the Berlin‑headquartered music‑streaming platform hosting hundreds of millions of tracks from millions of creators, faced growing finance complexity as the company scaled. Its distributed accounting team (Berlin and New York) relied on manual, fragmented workflows that caused delays, limited visibility into reconciliations, and made monthly close increasingly challenging.

SoundCloud implemented FloQast in under a month, working closely with FloQast’s support and Oracle consultants to integrate and standardize processes. Using checklists, automation, and a clear folder structure, the team gained real‑time visibility, improved cross‑Atlantic collaboration, shortened close cycles, and redirected accounting effort toward higher‑value strategic work while increasing confidence in their month‑end results.
