Consolidation Integrity Manager

For companies with multiple systems rolled up through a consolidation system, BlackLine Consolidation Integrity Manager automates the tedious system-to-system reconciliation process. By integrating between systems, bringing data into a centralized location, and providing an automated workflow to investigate discrepancies, Consolidation Integrity Manager replaces the manual process of comparing multiple ledgers to a consolidation system.

Transaction Matching

High-volume reconciliations can be some of the most time-consuming and painful components of the period-end close process. BlackLine Transaction Matching streamlines and automates detail-heavy reconciliations, such as bank reconciliations, credit card matching, intercompany reconciliations, and invoice-to-PO matching—all in one centralized workspace.

With so many steps and dependencies in the financial close, it is easy to waste time and increase risk by missing vital tasks or skipping critical approvals.
