Verity provides a range of trusted AI capabilities, including intelligent insights and agentic experiences, to establish a new digital workforce for the Office of the CFO.

Singapore, September 11, 2025– BlackLine, Inc. (Nasdaq: BL) today announced the launch of Verity AI, a comprehensive suite of AI capabilities providing finance and accounting teams with a new digital workforce of embedded, auditable AI. Built upon the trusted foundation of BlackLine’s Studio360 platform and its unified data layer, Verity ensures process integrity, accelerates resolution, and provides intelligent insights for the Office of the CFO.

Owen Ryan, co-CEO and Chairman of the Board at BlackLine, stated, “Many are asking how generative AI will impact business software. Our answer is clear: its power is unlocked only when it’s built on an uncompromising foundation of data integrity and trust. What truly separates BlackLine is our unwavering commitment to that principle, which uniquely positions us to lead the AI revolution in finance. With Verity, we are giving finance professionals AI they can trust—powerful, transparent, auditable, and purpose-built for the demands of the office of the CFO.”

The Foundation for Trusted AI

Verity, which is derived from the Latin word for “truth”, is distinguished by three fundamental pillars:

  1. The Control Layer for AI: BlackLine provides the centralised governance, auditability, and transparency that enterprises require to run AI models safely—a critical feature for financial operations.
  1. A Unified Platform as the Single Source of AI Truth: Unlike siloed point solutions, BlackLine’s Studio360 platform and its unified data layer powered by Snowflake serve as the single source of AI truth. This gives Verity a comprehensive view across the entire F&A landscape, enabling more confident and intelligent decision-making.
  1. Decades of Process Knowledge as the AI Blueprint: BlackLine has codified over two decades of leadership and best practices from 4,400+ customers into the core logic of its AI. These blueprints serve as the industry’s reference model for financial operations, giving BlackLine’s Verity AI an unmatched intelligence that makes its automation smarter and more effective than any generalised tool.

The New Digital Workforce for Finance

Verity is the name of BlackLine’s comprehensive array of artificial intelligence capabilities, which are integrated into the Studio360 platform and record-to-report and invoice-to-cash solutions. Verity is designed to offer reliable and easy-to-check AI that automates complex tasks, uncovers deep analytical insights, and frees finance and accounting professionals from doing repetitive work.

The AI team head, Vera, is the driving force behind this new digital workforce. She oversees and coordinates a team of specialised agents. Finance and accounting professionals are able to orchestrate intricate workflows, designate tasks, and review the work of their entire agentic team by utilising Vera as their sole point of contact. Vera is not merely an interface; she serves as the supervisor for your digital workforce, ensuring that the interaction between humans and AI is strategic, seamless, and completely auditable.

Verity establishes a new digital workforce for the CFO’s office by providing intelligence across a comprehensive suite of capabilities:

  • Agentic Experiences: Deploys an agentic workforce to manage complex, end-to-end workflows, acting as an extension of the finance team. These digital workers are directed and managed through Vera, with users maintaining full oversight and control.
  • Intelligent Insights & Proactive Analysis: Transforms raw financial data into forward-looking guidance, from predictive forecasting to proactive risk detection.
  • Next-Generation Process Automation: Enhances BlackLine’s core solutions with a new layer of intelligence to tackle high-volume, complex processes with greater speed and accuracy, such as AI-powered matching and intelligent data capture.
  • Automated Content Generation & Summarisation: Streamlines manual effort by drafting narratives and distilling large volumes of financial data and documents into clear, actionable outputs.

Jeremy Ung, Chief Technology Officer at BlackLine, said, “BlackLine’s differentiation lies in providing the essential application and control layer that makes powerful AI auditable, trustworthy, and indispensable for the enterprise. Our vision is to deliver future-ready financial operations through agentic AI that goes beyond automation—empowering customers to anticipate, decide, and act faster. With trusted partners like Google Cloud, we are combining Google’s leading Gemini models with our unmatched governance and process expertise.”

Rodrigo Rocha, Managing Director for Global ISV Partnerships at Google Cloud, added, “We are excited to partner with BlackLine to accelerate innovation with Google Cloud’s generative AI. By bringing Google’s AI capabilities to BlackLine’s platform, joint customers can close their books faster with greater confidence and unlock the strategic insights within their financial data.”

Leading the Future of Trusted AI

BlackLine is in the process of establishing a new work environment in which humans and AI function as a singular, seamlessly integrated team. The trusted foundation for this new digital workforce is BlackLine’s unwavering dedication to data integrity, which guarantees that it is orchestrated and audited with the same level of rigour as any other team member.
