Many organizations have streamlined or automated key closing activities, yet the process of aggregating, validating, and analyzing group-level financial data remains a siloed, reactive, and error-prone exercise.

BlackLine Financial Reporting Analytics provides a centralized workspace to perform pre-consolidation activities with end-to-end transparency and automated fluctuation analysis and attestation.

Unify Data & Streamline Workflows

Securely import and map data from your ERP system to your balance sheet and income statement line items, or synchronize your data in BlackLine with your existing consolidation system. Easily assign ownership of required explanations, reviews, and controls certifications to local business units.

Improve Visibility & Accelerate Reporting

Review financial statements and execute variance analysis faster and at any level—anytime, anywhere. Report on status, incomplete items, and other KPIs with purpose-built dashboards and reports.

Enhance Control & Decision-Making

Replace error-prone, reactive processes with a proactive, preventive approach that strengthens key controls and enables more timely business insights.

“Combining analytics with a holistic approach to balance sheet management can help capture opportunity and improve performance.”
