Evolve beyond error-ridden, time-sapping journal entry processes.
Enhance controls and save time. Journal Entry allows you to automatically create and post journals to your ERP, use standardized templates to stop errors at the door, and post journal adjustments directly from the platform.
What is the true cost of manual journal entry processes?
Manual journal entries are critical and inevitable for every accounting organization. Yet, for most organizations, the process of creating, supporting, and certifying journal entries is time consuming, lacks standardization, and poses downstream audit challenges. With hundreds or thousands of entries each period, the traditional manual process is not sustainable.
BlackLine Journal Entry seamlessly integrates with your ERPs and your other BlackLine solutions to centralize and automate the creation, validation, review, and posting of journal entries. With a user-friendly, self-service setup, automated journals and dynamic workflows provide a quick time to value.
