“Pre-BlackLine, everything was very scattered. We didn’t have a centralized area and there’s a lot of roll-forward, that minutiae of doing reconciliations that we were focused on. Now, we get to focus on the fun parts of Accounting.”
“Knowing that my staff has more efficiencies and that we can cross-train them and make them a stronger team is really important to me. That’s been the intangible return on our investment with BlackLine.”
“BlackLine Intercompany Hub has been an absolute game changer. We no longer have to worry about whether an invoice generated in company A has been picked up in company B. It happens automatically.”
“We realised that if the system broke down, daily auditing would also have to be performed manually.”
“With Transaction Matching, we can use any available common values or records of data sources as criteria or pass rules for auto matching. That’s just one of the reasons we highly recommend BlackLine for dynamic, evolving businesses.”
“We’re very confident that the cost savings with BlackLine will increase over time as new efficiencies are recognized.”
“I had a former client who held three close status meetings a day. Once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the evening. I don’t have to do that because I can see everyone’s close progress in BlackLine at any time.”
“BlackLine has absolutely helped us manage account reconciliation more efficiently to be in a better place for our external year-end audit.”
“Today, we’re at a 99.9% match rate. That means I get to go look at those really, really interesting transactions. That’s where the real insight comes and the opportunity to provide better support and advice for the rest of the organization.”
"I can’t imagine how much pain there could have been if we weren’t using an online solution like BlackLine to do account reconciliations and manage the close."
“Since BlackLine, we have seen 100% on-time completion rates for all month-end reconciliations. With Task Management, managers and employees know what needs to be done and on what timeline. That increased visibility drives accountability.”
“BlackLine has given us a clear picture of where we stand on a daily basis. It’s helped with cash management, and it’s helped us reduce paper. We’re more efficient even though we have fewer people."
“With BlackLine, we’ve eliminated the manual work required by spreadsheets, mundane tasks like rolling forward templates every month and copying and pasting the ending balance. That piece is completely automated."
“We aligned the migrations with our month-end close timelines."
“With AMS, it was rather difficult to meet, with a high confidence level, all attestation requirements. People would tick a box that an account had been attested to after a reconciliation was performed manually, printed and signed. We also needed a solution that could handle profit-center accounting, which was required as part of our Finance Architecture program.”
