Build a future focused finance function with BlackLine

Enable your transformation with Protiviti and Blackline

Not necessarily broken, but not fit to support the finance function of tomorrow: a common theme heard from many organisations today.

There are many non-value adding activities performed within the finance function that take up valuable time of the CFOs and their team. Excessive use of spreadsheets, emails, and meetings is still a relevant problem today in many finance functions. In addition, finance and accounting teams are experiencing significant changes due to economic fluctuations. With the continuously evolving global economy, finance and accounting teams need to adapt quickly to changes. Therefore, aligning with and supporting CFO strategies is a must. The priority should be on optimising their accounting function with strong controls and governance.

The Protiviti and BlackLine partnership

The BlackLine solution becomes even stronger through their partnership model. BlackLine and Protiviti have grown a strategic partnership to holistically service clients and improve the finance function from end-to-end, thinking beyond tool implementation. This has led to BlackLine awarding Protiviti the APAC Partner of the Year Award for 2023.

APAC Partner of the Year Award for 2023

Protiviti was named BlackLine’s APAC Partner of the Year for 2023. Michael Otto, BlackLine’s Vice President of Global Strategic Alliances & Partner Programs says: “This award is fitting recognition for Protiviti in their first full year as a partner in APJ. Protiviti has been actively engaged, taking BlackLine messaging and solutions to market, and utilising their extensive finance network in the customer community. They have delivered a very successful customer project with a high-profile brand which will be the foundation for many more engagements into the future.”
