Consistent, audit-ready results
Real-time collaboration
Intelligent insights beyond routine tasks
Adaptable models that grow with you

Productivity & Automation

Verity AI boasts a 2.6× productivity boost. It nails routine tasks—matching receivables, automating journal entries, accelerating close cycles. Great for controlling the record cycle.

Reef’s Agentic Analysis goes further. It sets modelling goals, builds execution plans and adapts as inputs change. Imagine generating a full financial forecast, complete with visuals, in minutes. Not hours. Not days.

Collaboration & Flexibility

BlackLine unites cash-to-close processes under one roof. But it can feel rigid if you stray from its templates.

Reef thrives on teamwork. With Reef Sheet, multiple users can edit live. With Reef Board, teams sketch strategies, annotate forecasts and brainstorm on an infinite canvas. All without leaving the platform.

Insight Delivery

Verity AI surfaces anomalies and trends in interactive dashboards. Useful. But you still need to interpret the numbers.

Reef lifts the burden. Reef Narration turns dense spreadsheets into engaging audio summaries. Listen on your commute. Catch nuances you’d otherwise miss. It’s like a CFO briefing you in your ear.

Ease of Use & Onboarding

BlackLine’s suite requires careful setup and change management. Many organisations have dedicated teams just to configure workflows.

Reef is intuitive. Minimal coding. Drag-and-drop interfaces. AI-driven suggestions guide you at every step. Your team starts delivering results from day one.

Scalability & Adaptability

Verity AI scales within accounting processes. But what about ad-hoc modelling, investor presentations or scenario analysis?

With Reef, scalability is baked in. The AI learns from every model, every input. As your data grows and regulations shift, Reef adapts. No costly re-implementation.

Filling the Gaps: How Reef Completes the Picture

BlackLine’s Verity AI excels at automation. But:

It leans heavily on structured ERP feeds.
It lacks deep planning and modelling beyond close processes.
It offers limited collaborative canvases.
It doesn’t narrate insights aloud.

Reef picks up where that stops. We deliver:

Autonomous, cross-source data gathering.
Advanced financial projections with minimal oversight.
Real-time team collaboration on Reef Sheet and Reef Board.
Engaging audio summaries via Reef Narration.

Real-World Impact

Financial Analysts love the speed of Agentic Analysis—building scenario plans in minutes. Investment Firms gain an edge by modelling complex deals faster. Corporate Finance Teams cut errors, meet tighter deadlines, and communicate insights to stakeholders more clearly.

One finance director told us:

“Reef’s AI shaved two days off our monthly close. Even better—our board meetings now start with audio summaries. Everyone’s on the same page, faster.”
