Navigating BlackLine - From Foundational Close to Agentic AI

About This Webcast

Transitioning from a manual or foundational close to a more strategic model can feel like an overwhelming shift. While basic automation establishes a solid baseline, integrating intelligent AI agents allows accounting teams to focus on deeper advisory work. This "Ask the Expert" session provides a supportive space to explore how your organisation can grow beyond routine tasks and unlock more value from your existing platform. Explore how intelligent AI agents can adapt to your team's existing record-to-report workflows, helping to redistribute manual burdens and elevate overall job satisfaction. Understand the dynamics of transitioning from a traditional close to an AI-assisted model, with a focus on practical strategies for continuous team upskilling. Evaluate use cases that support your accounting and finance professionals as they step into more strategic, advisory-led roles. This webinar will offer 1 CPE/CPD credit in Computer Software & Applications – Non-technical for attendees.
