Situation

Realtor.com faced significant challenges with the lack of visibility and repeatability in its financial close process across multiple entities. The handoff from one task to the next was not automated and resulted in unnecessary delays and the absence of traceability. Manual reconciliation of its large number of accounts resulted in missing reconciliations, improper use of roll-forwards, and insufficient justification and documentation.

Realtor.com needed a unified solution with proper integration and real-time reporting that would help improve productivity and simplify accounting and reconciliation processes.
