Bridge Specialty Group (BSG) teammates recently participated in the BeyondTheBlack BlackLine conference in Las Vegas, NV, Sept. 8-10. They explored products that Blackline offers for process optimization and automation and gained valuable insights on strategically incorporating AI and optimization software to enhance efficiency and accuracy in their workflows.   Blackline’s theme, “Unstoppable Finance: A New Era for the Office of the CFO,” truly resonated with our BSG Finance/Accounting teammates as they continue to operate lean by enhancing processes and reallocating resources to the value-added activities to further support the business. And networking with industry peers and vendors, exchanging ideas and success stories was an added bonus. The BSG Finance team is UNSTOPPABLE!   Frank Harris - Director of Financial Operations – BSIB & Acquisitions Abylash Chacko -BSG Controller Asuka Okuno, MBA, AAI-M– BSG BSIB Controller Michael Pryor- BSG SE Controller Daniel Cano, CISR – BSG NE Controller Brianna Quiroz – BSG Local Edge Controller
