Blackline

BlackLine is the leader in Enhanced Finance Controls and Automation (EFCA) software and the only provider that offers a unified cloud platform supporting the entire close-to-disclose process. The BlackLine Finance Controls and Automation platform helps organisations to fill in the gaps left by ERP and CPM systems and thereby strengthen controls, lower compliance risks, and introduce greater efficiencies and visibility into every step of the accounting process.

BlackLine enables clients to move beyond the antiquated record-to-report process and helps accountants and finance professionals work smarter and more efficiently with a new approach known as Continuous Accounting. Continuous Accounting represents a dramatic shift in the way organisations manage the accounting function, with automation and controlled workflows allowing tasks typically performed during the period-end to instead be embedded within day-to-day activities. The time previously spent by staff reconciling and verifying data that had built up over the period, can now be better spent performing analysis and examining trends and their impact.

The accounting and finance departments of more than 1,700 organisations worldwide currently leverage BlackLine solutions to perform mission-critical processes in near real time — including financial close, reconciliation management, journal entry management, intercompany transaction management, and controls assurance.
