Overall Satisfaction with BlackLine

We use this software solution as a complement of the ERP. It mainly addressees the typical closing (month, year) issues. Examples of these tasks are: reconciliation, posting, filing of transactions.
The scope of usage of the software are all the companies within the consolidation scope that need to manage these accounting aspects that takes a lot of time, are a burden for the accounting team, and are prone to have mistakes.

Pros

  • Intercompany reconciliations
  • Bank reconciliations
  • Creation of accounting postings
  • File all the documents.

Cons

  • Retrieval of past documents
  • Identification of firms accounts
  • Ease of usage to create postings
  • Time saved by the accounting team
  • Time to learn its management
  • Manage the complexity and high volume of transactions
We choose BlackLine after we got to know them in several seminars and congresses. Since day one it was clear that the advantage to use this tool was going to be great, not only for our team but also for the work of our external auditors. It constitutes now a key tool for the closing tasks, giving a big degree of certainty.

Yes

Did implementation of BlackLine go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy BlackLine again?

Yes

It is very appropriate to use in the framework of multi nationals companies, with a complex set up, multiple entities, partners, countries, etc. BlackLine manages very well these complexities once you have learned how to extract the maximum capacity of it. If you are thinking of smaller companies, I'd say that there are other less expensive and complex solutions.
