Blackline, Inc.

A maker of cloud-based software that automates the accounting "financial close" — the month-end ritual where finance teams reconcile accounts and finalize their books. Its tools, including Account Reconciliations and Close Management, are used by corporate finance departments around the world. Founded in 2001 by software executive Therese Tucker, the company takes its name from the "black line" — the final line on a financial statement showing the bottom line. Tucker led the company as CEO before it went public in 2016.
