2025 Modern Accounting Award Winners:

American Express Global Business Travel

American Express Global Business Travel (Amex GBT) is building a more scalable and resilient finance function through a strategic, enterprise-wide deployment of BlackLine solutions. This transformation, managed by a dedicated global Center of Excellence, is already delivering powerful results on a multi-year journey toward greater automation and control.

Key achievements include automating over 90% of high-volume reconciliations and reaching 60% auto-certification for account reconciliations, with significant runway for future growth. The company expects to eliminate nearly half of its manual journal entries, demonstrating substantial progress in its mission to enhance control, increase speed, and unlock new efficiencies across its global financial operations.

Cavco Industries

Cavco Industries , a valued BlackLine customer for over a decade, exemplifies a journey of continuous growth and finance transformation. By consistently leveraging BlackLine's ongoing innovations, Cavco has progressively expanded its footprint, moving from foundational financial close automation to embracing our latest solutions, including the recent addition of Financial Reporting Analytics. This strategic evolution has enabled them to modernize and automate once-manual consolidation processes, resulting in accelerated reporting, eliminated errors, and providing their leadership with crucial real-time visibility. This successful, ongoing partnership continues to inspire broader adoption across additional business units, serving as a testament to how a long-term, collaborative commitment fuels continuous innovation and creates scalable, lasting transformation.

The Wendy's Company

As a global enterprise, Wendy's rapidly replaced its legacy systems with BlackLine to deliver both immediate and sustained value. The swift deployment of Account Reconciliations and Transaction Matching streamlined operations, reinforced compliance, and unlocked new efficiencies at scale, all while seamlessly integrating with their Oracle ERP.

"We're proud to recognize these organizations not only for what they've achieved—but for how they've led," said Owen Ryan, co-CEO and Chairman of the Board at BlackLine. "They exemplify the mindset of the future of finance: bold, technology-enabled, and relentlessly focused on strategic value.
