# BlackLine

> BlackLine is enterprise finance software that sits above ERPs and turns spreadsheet-heavy accounting work - reconciliations, journal entries, close management, intercompany transactions and accounts receivable - into governed workflows. Founder Therese Tucker bootstrapped the company after its first wealth-management product stalled, pivoted when a customer offered to pay for account-reconciliation software, and committed fully to SaaS in 2007. The public company now sells subscriptions and services to roughly 4,300 customers and is trying to make auditable, human-supervised AI useful inside the financial record.
