StructureFlow acquires Blue J Diagramming
StructureFlow, the visual modelling platform designed for navigating complex corporate structures, transactions, and processes, has acquired Blue J Diagramming, a visualisation tool widely used by accountancy and tax professionals. This move aligns with Blue J’s broader strategy to concentrate on its generative AI solution for tax research, marking a shift in its business focus.
As part of the transition, Blue J Diagramming customers will be migrated to StructureFlow, a platform positioned as the leading business diagramming tool.
The acquisition follows StructureFlow’s successful Series A funding round in 2024, reflecting a period of strong momentum for the company. It also reinforces StructureFlow’s expansion in North America and broadens its presence beyond legal and corporate finance, deepening its impact across multiple industries.
"As Blue J sharpens its focus on revolutionising tax research through AI, we wanted to ensure our diagramming customers would be served by a leader in visualisation technology. StructureFlow's exceptional platform represents the future of how tax and accounting professionals will map complex structures and transactions. Its innovative approach to visual modelling, combined with its deep understanding of professional workflows, made it the clear choice to take forward our diagramming business. We're confident our customers will benefit tremendously from StructureFlow's cutting-edge technology and its dedicated focus on advancing the field of professional visualisation tools," said Benjamin Alarie, CEO of Blue J.
Tim Follett, CEO of StructureFlow, commented: "Accountancy and tax professionals, like legal professionals, constantly grapple with incredibly complex structures and transactions."
"Globalisation, increasingly complex tax regulations, and the inherent challenges of managing intricate corporate relationships are driving demand for tools that can simplify, clarify, and streamline tax planning and compliance.
“StructureFlow was built to cut through that complexity. This acquisition gives tax and accountancy professionals a powerful, collaborative platform to visualise even the most intricate matters. It empowers them to work more efficiently and make better-informed decisions."
StructureFlow's platform enables teams to build, and analyse group structure charts, transaction step plans, process maps, timelines, and more. With seamless integration of existing data from sources like Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and PDF, professionals can quickly create interactive visuals.
Tailored sharing options allow for easy exports in several formats, making it simple to embed diagrams into client-facing documents. Users can also collaborate directly within the platform, exchanging feedback. By transforming complex data into clear, interactive visuals, StructureFlow helps professionals from firms like Holland & Knight, Linklaters and Norton Rose Fulbright communicate more effectively and gain crucial insights.
The acquisition includes over 300 specialised tax diagram templates from Blue J Diagramming, seamlessly integrated into the StructureFlow platform, providing an immediate advantage to new and existing users. The addition of the templates enables a faster way to create and organise structure charts.
