Like implementing Account reconciliation first then Matching...?
Hello Ariana - Customers will often times implement Account Reconciliations and Task Management to start. That said, we recommend working with a BlackLine representative to identify the immediate and long term goals you have around improving your accounting close processes in order to develop an implementation strategy that aligns best with the needs of your business. For example, if your biggest pain point is the management of high-volume reconciliations, Transaction Matching may be the best product to implement first in order to achieve some quick wins.
