AI doesn’t fail in finance because of the technology.
It fails when the CFO’s office can’t trust it.

Every team is racing to deploy AI across the close.
The ones that win will be those that build trust and control in first.

15+ expert-led sessions show you how.
Free, on demand, and built for finance leaders ready to move from experimenting to scaling.

Every collections team has them: invoices too small to justify a phone call, yet too easy to overlook in a crowded inbox.

Together, they add up to cash left on the table. Our two new tools are designed to recover it.

Introducing Verity Collect and Verity for AR Management.

Verity Collect is an AI voice agent that makes natural outbound collections calls, not robocalls or rigid scripts. It pulls live invoice data to answer questions on the spot, logs payment commitments automatically, and works around the clock across time zones and languages. The moment it senses friction or a dispute, it hands off to a human.

Verity for AR Management handles the inbox. It reads, classifies, and prioritizes every inbound collections email by urgency and sentiment, so critical disputes and buried payment promises never get lost.

Both are human-in-the-loop by design.

Your team decides which accounts get contacted and when, and the AI escalates anything that needs judgment.

The goal isn’t fewer people in collections. It’s freeing your best people from repetitive, low-yield work so they can focus on the relationships, negotiations, and disputes where human judgment moves the needle.

Both are live now through our early adopter program: https://www.blackline.com/products/invoice-to-cash/collections-management/

Is your AI investment actually paying off, or just adding complexity?

Our CTO Jeremy Ung joined Tech Talks Daily to unpack why finance AI adoption has plateaued and how CFOs can move from experimentation to measurable ROI.

His take: stop inventing artificial AI metrics.

Just ask the questions that already matter: is the close faster?
Is transaction matching more accurate?
Are collections improving?

He also digs into auditability: as AI agents take on more finance work, teams need visibility into the prompts, models, data, and permissions behind every action.

Jeremy's comparison: just like food labels list ingredients and calories, AI agents should come with their own operating record.

The bigger shift?
Finance professionals spending less time on individual tasks and more time setting goals, reviewing agent output, and steering a team of AI agents.

Agents move fast. Controls make the numbers defensible.

Creditsafe grew from 6 to 14 countries in a decade.

Their AR ledger grew right along with it, but their process didn't keep up. Spreadsheets, pivot tables, and a full day just to process cash inflows.

Here's how their global credit and collections team fixed that:

- Cash processed in under 90 minutes, down from a full day
- Real-time visibility into every account, across every country
- Collectors focused on who they need to chase, not who they want to chase

Hear it straight from their team below.

AI in finance isn't about replacement or hype, it's about augmentation.

And most conversations skip right past what that actually means in practice.

Join Tariq, best-selling author of Reimagine Finance and advisor to Fortune 500 finance leaders, for a session on how finance can genuinely partner with AI, rethinking not just tasks, but how value gets captured, created, and delivered.

Expect real talk on mindset, workflows, and the courage it takes to lead this shift rather than react to it.

If you're curious about where finance is headed (and how to be part of shaping it), this one's worth your time.
