Accelerate your path to an IPO.

Timely and accurate reporting is a requirement for public companies. Staying on top of SEC filing deadlines can be even more of a challenge when processes rely on highly-manual steps and demands on finance and accounting teams continue to grow. IPO readiness includes investing in process optimization that drives greater efficiency and accuracy of financials day-to-day and during close cycles.

BlackLine unifies and orchestrates accounting processes by connecting data and automating high-risk and manual steps to help companies close on time and accurately, while also providing better visibility and control to manage change and scale for growth.

Going public means greater scrutiny of financial information by investors and internal stakeholders. Public companies are responsible for ensuring the accuracy, timeliness, and completion of financial results. An error, small or large, can negatively impact a company’s reputation, stock price, and investor confidence, and can lead to fines and penalties. Establishing a strong control framework during the IPO process helps ensure accuracy of the financial information released to shareholders.

BlackLine enhances governance by layering both preventative and detective controls directly into accounting processes to limit the likelihood of errors and breakdowns. Access controls enable internal and external auditors to collaborate directly with Finance and Accounting to assure accuracy of financial results before filings.
