Workiva and BlackLine collaborate on platform integration for financial reporting

Workiva, a cloud provider of connected reporting and compliance solutions, and accounting automation software provider BlackLine are releasing a platform integration to help joint customers streamline financial close and reporting processes.

The integration will enable users to seamlessly connect and transfer data between the two platforms, saving time and reducing risk by improving accuracy and transparency in the record-to-report process.

Many of Workiva’s customers use BlackLine to automate balance sheet reconciliations and other processes they need for a successful financial close before they use the Workiva platform for reporting and compliance, said Mike Rost, vice president of partners and alliances at Workiva.

With this new integration, joint customers will be able to benefit from better transparency across applications and a higher level of trust and confidence in the data they report, according to Rost.

The data integration is available today. It will be showcased at the Workiva Amplify user conference in Dallas, September 9-11, and at BlackLine’s InTheBlack user conference in Los Angeles, September 16-19.
