BlackLine allows for a uniform approach to balance sheet account preparation and review/approval electronically.

Our company has many subsidiaries globally in numerous ERP's, BlackLine was able to consolidate balance sheet accounting into a single source. The administration of BlackLine is easy to perform. Not sure if there is a light implementation but I know you can customize your needs based on specific modules, many of which work together but as your company grows you can expand and utilize more of the BlackLine functionality.
