See Success Story
When our close was paper-driven, I was used to going home and seeing my team working late, at wits end. Two cycles after implementing BlackLine, I was leaving one night, and they were looking too relaxed. I said, ‘It’s the middle of close.’ They said, ‘Everything’s all under control, I know where everything is.’ I take that as a real success when they’re that calm during our close.”
