BlackLine announced the acquisition of WiseLayer, a New York‑based AI automation firm, to enhance its Verity AI suite and broaden its platform transformation strategy.
WiseLayer, founded in 2022, specializes in AI‑powered digital workers that automate complex finance tasks such as accruals and payroll. Its agents—named Angela for accruals and Payton for payroll accounting—have been adopted by early customers to reduce manual effort and improve accuracy.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the acquisition is expected to accelerate BlackLine’s value‑based pricing model and deepen its ISO 42001‑certified AI governance framework by embedding WiseLayer’s agents into the Verity AI suite.
BlackLine reaffirmed its Q4 2025 and full‑year 2025 guidance, projecting GAAP revenue of $182‑$184 million for Q4 and $699‑$701 million for the year, up from $178.3 million in Q3 2025. Management highlighted that the WiseLayer integration will help meet these targets by expanding the customer base and deepening usage of the Verity AI suite.
CEO Owen Ryan said the acquisition “adds significant new capabilities and value to our platform, providing customers with embedded, auditable AI.” WiseLayer co‑founder Josh Stein added that the company’s mission to give finance teams back their time aligns with BlackLine’s vision of a unified platform powering future financial operations.
The acquisition positions BlackLine to strengthen its competitive moat in the Office of the CFO market, leveraging trusted AI to automate judgment‑based tasks and support the company’s broader strategy of delivering a single, unified platform for financial operations.
