"Brute force."
That's how Delta Air Lines' finance team described their close.
The fix wasn't just automation. It was sequencing: standardize first, then automate where it matters most. Paired with SAP and #BlackLine, the results speak for themselves.
65% of manual journal entry volume automated.
41% of all reconciliations auto-certified.
Close time cut by 30%.
That's not incremental improvement. That's a best-in-class finance function operating at a different altitude.
SAP just announced the SAP Autonomous Enterprise, setting a bold new direction for the future of business. For BlackLine and our mutual customers, this vision accelerates our journey toward a financial close that is truly autonomous, intelligent, and highly collaborative.
This announcement reinforces the power of the SAP Solution Extension partnership between SAP and BlackLine.

“98% accurate is 100% wrong.”
That’s how one finance leader defines trust.
This clip pulls together moments from the conversations happening across the Sounds Accurate podcast.
- How teams are thinking about AI
- Where it breaks down
- What it actually takes to move forward
There’s no single playbook yet… But there is a pattern.
You can’t move faster than your ability to trust the output.
The month end. For finance & accounting teams, that meant a frantic scramble. An artful, but exhausting, race to close the books and report on what already happened.
For years, that was the definition.
But that era is over.
The new definition of finance has evolved: it's a live command center for the business. It is the science of running operations in real time, not just periodically. This demands a new architecture.
Agentic Financial Operations is that architecture.
It provides the continuous data, embedded intelligence, and orchestrated workflows to make real time finance a reality, evolving accounting's foundational work into a strategic advantage.
Is your team ready to practice the new definition?
You can’t get this from a recap email... 🖥️
BlackLine CMO and Sounds Accurate host, @esbcampbell , took to the floor at #BeyondTheBlack London to hear what finance leaders thought: the sessions, the Verity™ AI announcements, the conversations they didn’t expect to have.
The conversation continues at BeyondTheBlack Paris on June 25. Come ready to compare notes.

Your ERP says one thing. Your AR system says another. Your spreadsheets say something else entirely.
And somewhere in between, your team is manually bridging the gaps.

One platform. One source of truth. Zero guesswork.
Ever wonder what happens when you put finance leaders, customers, partners, and our own execs into a BlackLine-branded black cab? 🚕
We found out at BeyondTheBlack London. CMO and Sounds Accurate host Emily Campbell grabbed the mic, shut the cab door, and asked the questions people actually wanted to answer: what agentic financial operations means to them, what they’re taking back to their teams, and yes, what to do in London on a free afternoon.
Turns out everyone had a lot to say, and nobody needed a teleprompter to say it.
25 BlackLine-branded cabs are still rolling through London - if you spot one, give it a wave. 👋
Next stop: Paris, June 25.
Finance has a complexity problem.
More transactions. More manual work. More inconsistency.
And the same old operating model trying to keep up.
It can't.
That's why we're introducing Agentic Financial Operations (AFO) - a fundamentally new way to run F&A.
AFO embeds AI agents across your enterprise to orchestrate and automate work end-to-end. The result? Your finance team stops being a historical scorekeeper and starts being a strategic driver.
This vision is powered by two things: → Verity, our AI suite bringing intelligent automation to every process → Studio360, the unified platform connecting it all.
The future of finance is agentic. Are you ready to lead the change? 👇
