Reconciliations Don’t Have to Be a Grind: Smarter, Faster, Better with BlackLine

Reconciliations are nobody’s favorite part of the close, but they don’t have to drain your team’s time or energy. With the right mix of risk-based focus, automation, and transparency, you can cut the noise, reduce manual effort, and give your team the confidence to close faster. This session is about practical wins you can take home and put to work right away.

Key Takeaways:

Focus on what matters most. Learn how risk-based reconciliation keeps your team from treating every account the same and why that shift immediately frees up capacity.

Let automation handle the busywork. See how auto-certifications and validation rules act like an always-on teammate that takes care of the repetitive stuff so your people can focus on real exceptions.

Build accountability without micromanagement. Use dashboards, ownership rules, and simple governance models to create visibility and consistency across global teams without endless follow-ups.
