2020 has been a year of disruption, unforeseen challenges, and possibly some tough conversations about how to navigate this pandemic and beyond. We don’t yet know what the business landscape will look like in the wake of this crisis, but one thing has become completely clear: traditional manual accounting processes are not sustainable.
Twice a year, BlackLine dedicates an entire week to exploring the challenges facing accounting and finance teams, and this year’s Finance Innovation Week is focusing on how you and your F&A organization can make the move to modern accounting.
Join industry experts from our partner organizations on December 8-10 for eight impactful live webinars over the three days. You’ll come away with ideas and strategies for successfully transforming your accounting and finance teams. You can also earn free Continuing Professional Education (CPE/CPD) Credits.
Here are the webinars we’re delivering during December’s Finance Innovation Week, along with their dates, times, and how to register.
