Case Study: BlackLine Systems, Inc. achieves scalable, automated sales and use tax management with Avalara AvaTax

BlackLine Systems, Inc. - Customer Case Study

BlackLine Systems, a global SaaS provider of financial close and control automation, was scaling rapidly and needed more robust sales and use tax capabilities that fit its cloud-based environment. Charles Best, CFO, wanted a scalable, cost‑effective solution that didn’t require heavy IT involvement as the company expanded nationally and internationally.

BlackLine implemented Avalara AvaTax, a turnkey service that only required reconciling billing data; Avalara then handled the rest. The result was a significant reduction in administrative overhead, simpler tax management for non‑IT finance leaders, and a scalable, efficient platform that supports BlackLine’s ongoing growth.
