LOS ANGELES, Aug. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackLine, a leading provider of finance controls and automation software, has been named to the 2015 Inc. 500/5000 list, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies, for the eighth year in a row.  In the 34 years that Inc. has been tracking America's fastest-growing private companies, fewer than 150 organizations have accomplished this feat.  In making the list, BlackLine joins such prestigious brands as Microsoft, Jamba Juice and Patagonia.

President and Editor-in-Chief Eric Schurenberg.  "The average company on the Inc. 5000 grew nearly six-fold since 2012.  Business owners don't achieve that kind of success by accident."

BlackLine provides a host of tightly integrated applications and packaged solutions that automate and accelerate the financial close and other key accounting and finance processes – from within a single, unified cloud-based platform.  Leading companies of all sizes are now integating finance controls and automation solutions as part of their efforts to transform legacy, back-office operations into world-class, 'Modern Finance' organizations with greater efficiencies and reduced compliance risk.
