LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Accounting automation software leader BlackLine, Inc. (Nasdaq: BL) has announced the winners of its 2020 Modern Accounting Awards. The company's second annual global awards program recognizes organizations that have demonstrated how they go beyond traditional Finance and Accounting (F&A) processes and embrace modern accounting to drive transformational outcomes using BlackLine's cloud platform for financial automation. 2020 winners include Zurich North America, McKesson and Big Ass Fans.
BlackLine's Modern Accounting Awards honor customer success across five categories:
"We're honored to recognize these customers who are true trailblazers, setting examples for others in their respective industries and beyond," said BlackLine President, Chief Operating Officer and incoming CEO Marc Huffman. "Each of the winners pushed the limits to maximize productivity gains and make a transformational difference in their Finance & Accounting organizations."
Entries were evaluated and winners selected by a team of BlackLine digital finance transformation experts. Award winners will be featured next week at BeyondTheBlack™ 2020: The Modern Accounting Virtual Experience during a Customer Innovation Showcase hosted by BlackLine CEO Therese Tucker on Tuesday, Nov. 17th. Winners also will have the opportunity to tell their story during a one-on-one interview with comedian Trevor Noah who will be participating in BlackLine's virtual event.
BeyondTheBlack, formerly InTheBlack, is BlackLine's annual user conference that for 12 years has brought together a global community focused on innovation in F&A. The new name encapsulates the new reality: accountants are now being called on to do more than just close the books and verify that the numbers are right. What was previously their sole focus is now just one part of the value they bring. F&A leaders are embracing modern accounting by unifying systems, data and processes to deliver accurate results faster; automating routine work to focus on strategic business initiatives; and executing accounting continuously to support the business in real time. Instead of just making sure organizations are 'InTheBlack', it's time for accountants to go 'BeyondTheBlack'.
BeyondTheBlack 2020 will take place virtually Tuesday to Thursday, Nov. 17th to 19th, featuring nearly 100 speakers spanning 60 sessions. For information or to register for the complimentary virtual event, go to beyondtheblack.com.
