Finance software firm BlackLine Systems expands Birmingham office

US financial software company BlackLine Systems has expanded its Birmingham presence after agreeing a new office lease at 10 Brindleyplace.

The Nasdaq-listed business, which develops cloud software used to automate accounting and finance operations for large organisations, has taken 8,374 sq ft at the recently refurbished office building as it continues its investment in the city.

The company sells primarily to medium-sized and large enterprises looking to reduce manual accounting processes and improve financial reporting accuracy. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in California, BlackLine serves thousands of customers globally.

BlackLine has maintained a presence in Birmingham for several years and uses the city as a strategic UK and European location.

The Birmingham office supports a range of functions, including customer support, professional services, sales, customer success and business operations.

The company’s decision to commit to a new 10-year lease suggests Birmingham remains an important location within its international operations rather than simply a satellite office.

Real estate advisory firm Colliers advised on the transaction. The building offers Grade A office accommodation and includes sustainability credentials such as EPC A and BREEAM Excellent ratings, alongside roof terraces, fitness facilities and communal workspace amenities.

Molly Cook, associate director in the Colliers Birmingham National Offices team, said: “This deal highlights continued demand for high-quality, amenity-rich office space in Birmingham, particularly from global occupiers seeking best-in-class environments to support employee wellbeing and attract talent.”

Ray Montalvo, vice president of real estate and workplace at BlackLine, said: “Colliers helped us secure a space in Birmingham that not only supports our growth but physically embodies the innovation, quality, and strength of our brand.”

Colliers acted for BlackLine Systems on the transaction, while CBRE represented the landlord.
