What Makes BlackLine Unique?

Modern Finance

BlackLine’s unified cloud platform is designed specifically for Accounting and Finance.
It offers relief for businesses by replacing labor-intensive and risk-prone processes with technology.
This helps accountants to deliver value-adding, strategic insights that deliver on business goals.
We call it Modern Finance, the automation of accounting processes that create efficiencies, reduce risk, and provide visibility into the numbers.

Brand Voice

Further helps spur organizational growth, and sometimes, we even give controllers and accountants their weekends back.
Even though we have important facts, information, and data to communicate, we should always do so in ways that are clear, and compelling, and increase empathy between BlackLine and the people we serve.
We stay away from the jargon of the software world and speak in the language of our customers.

Brand Position

BlackLine is the world’s most trusted provider of unified, cloud-based software designed to automate and control the financial closing process.
The brand position is what BlackLine stands for, and why it exists.
Customers get unprecedented visibility into transactions, account reconciliations, and business processes to ensure an accurate financial close while maximizing efficiency and mitigating regulatory risk.
All we do is aimed at helping our customers improve overall business performance.
