BlackLine Systems

BlackLine modernizes the way organizations automate key accounting processes, enhancing accountant productivity, assuring robust controls and compliance, and improving overall business performance. The company’s Finance Controls and Automation platform helps Finance & Accounting strategically assist the Office of Finance to improve business performance outcomes. Accountants no longer need to spend countless hours manually matching transactions or processing account reconciliations, journal entries, task lists, and intercompany transactions to achieve a fast, efficient, and accurate financial close. These toilsome, error-prone, spreadsheet-based exercises are replaced with automated processes that validate the underlying data.

In an era of all-too-frequent accounting scandals and financial reporting restatements, particularly those caused by human mistakes, a Finance & Accounting system that offers unparalleled visibility into transactional and performance data can minimize such risks.  BlackLine is this system—an enterprise-class, unified cloud software platform designed to automate and control the financial close process.
