DIAMOND PARTNERS:
BlackLine automates complex, manual & repetitive accounting processes & enables companies to move beyond the legacy record-to-report process.
No matter your role in the accounting department, your job is challenging. You might be responsible for preparing reconciliations, recording journal entries, and validating data or reports, or managing a team of overworked, underutilized people working across disparate systems, processes, and spreadsheets. Or maybe, you close the month with a pit in your stomach, thinking, 'maybe I should check one last time' before signing off on your financial statements. Substantiating balance sheet accounts and delivering trusted financials doesn't have to be a brute force finish that leaves you wondering what you missed. BlackLine helps organizations of every size transform their month-end close by streamlining, standardizing and automating account reconciliations.
