Overall Satisfaction with BlackLine

BlackLine is used by management to verify that the amounts for recurring entries match what should be in the reporting system. It is my responsibility to maintain these workbooks and ensure that adequate supporting documentation is uploaded to BlackLine to validate all entries recorded. It is crucial that consistency is applied amongst all reconciliations of a similar account in order to optimize our senior management's understanding when reviewing the accounts. BlackLine reconciliations include items such as audit fee payments, rent accruals, prepaid expenses/amortization, and detailed debt schedules, providing a breakdown of scheduled principal and interest payments. These schedules are then assessed monthly to ensure accuracy before being certified and reviewed by a senior.

BlackLine is well suited to balance sheet account reconciliations that are consistent. It is less well suited to accounts that change frequently, such as variable debt schedules.
