Why KPMG and BlackLine?We help you get the most out of your BlackLine solution. KPMG and BlackLine implement a diverse suite of modules (BlackLine Financial Close Software Suite) to assist organizations with their specific needs. BlackLines cloud-based (Web-deployed, SaaS), modularized platform addresses six main areas of finance governance: account reconciliation, task management, transaction matching, variance analysis, journal entry management, and consolidation management. BlackLine provides automation, visibility, and monitoring capabilities into key accounting and financial processes, as well as standard and ad hoc reporting capabilities. Financial executives appreciate the unified approach that KPMG brings to their financial reporting results.

Many companies maintain multiple sets of accounting standards, including IFRS, GAAP or statutory accounts, creating an onerous burden when it comes to financial closure, account reconciliation and compliance. In a climate of increasing government and international regulations, an even more complex situation arises that must be managed across ERP systems, accounts, locations, and departments.

Organizations need cost-effective solutions to help improve their finance functions. KPMG LLP (KPMG) can help. As a longstanding leader in Finance Governance and Technology (FGT) services, we assist clients in the full life cycle of process improvement and implementation of these tools. KPMGs relationship with BlackLine Systems enhances our ability to help clients with large-scale finance transformation projects, especially those in which FGT tool deployment is critical.
