The case studies will highlight how a combination of technology and process improvements allowed each organization’s shared service centers to increase the level of service they offer, improve internal controls and visibility and help the CFO report faster with increased confidence in the numbers. The customers also will share specifics on the ROI they have experienced since the implementation of BlackLine’s flagship account reconciliation and financial close software suite.
