A Conversation with Midnite: Bringing Control, Visibility & Audit Readiness to a Fast-Growing Finance Function 

Before Trintech: Month-End Meant Hunting Down Reconciliations across Servers, Countries, and Inboxes 

Q: Chris, can you introduce yourself and describe the challenges Midnite faced before automating with Trintech? 
A: My name is Chris Cannon, and I’m the VP of Finance at Midnite, a sports betting platform. I was the first hire in finance at the company, and at the time, we relied heavily on external accountants to handle many of our month-end activities. 

One of the biggest challenges wasn’t just doing the work—it was tracking what was being done, when it was being done, and where everything lived. Our external accountants were based in two different countries—the UK and Malta—and reconciliation files were stored on their servers. Finding documents, reviewing work, and maintaining oversight was difficult and time-consuming. 

Why Trintech: Centralized Control & Review across Geographies 

Q: What role did Trintech play in solving that challenge? 
A: Using Trintech made a huge difference. I was able to require external accountants to upload all balance sheet reconciliations into a single platform, where I could then review and approve them centrally. 

Instead of chasing files across shared drives and different servers, everything became accessible to me in one place. That alone made the close process significantly easier—especially with teams working across borders. 

Implementation Experience: Supportive, Flexible & Built around Real Constraints 

Q: What was the implementation experience like? 
A: The implementation was honestly amazing. I had used Trintech in a previous role, but I wasn’t involved in that original implementation. 

The Trintech team worked directly with me and showed me how to really leverage the solution while setting it up. They talked through how I’d used it before, suggested better and more efficient ways to configure it, and supported me throughout the entire process. 

Because I was the only finance person at the time, the project had to work around my time constraints. The team was flexible, understanding, and supportive—and overall, it was a very positive experience. 
 

Growing with Confidence: Visibility, Approvals & Audit Readiness 

Q: How has Trintech supported you as the finance function has grown? 
A: Today, I have a team of five, and the biggest benefit is visibility. 

I can easily see when reconciliations are completed, review them, and approve them electronically. Everything is transparent and accessible. 

We’re also approaching our first audit, and Trintech has been critical in preparing for that. Instead of pulling together countless Excel files, I can simply grant auditors access to the system, giving them first-hand visibility into reconciliations. 

That saves everyone’s time—they’re not chasing documents, and I’m not digging through shared drives. 
 

Ongoing Partnership: Proactive Guidance & Expanding Value 

Q: How would you describe your ongoing relationship with Trintech? 
A: It’s going really well. We have regular check-in calls, where the team ensures I’m fully utilizing the solution and highlights additional opportunities. 

During one of those calls, I mentioned some challenges outside of Balancer, and the team suggested we look at Match. We’re now in the process of implementing that functionality as well, using a third-party implementation team.
