Bill.com

Bill.com (now BILL) is a cloud-based accounts payable and receivable automation platform. It digitises the entire AP/AR workflow — invoice capture, approval routing, payment execution, and sync to accounting software.

Accounting firms use Bill.com to manage client AP/AR processes. The platform captures incoming invoices (via email, upload, or mail scanning), routes them through customisable approval workflows, and executes payments via ACH, check, or international wire. On the receivable side, it handles invoice delivery and payment collection. Data syncs with QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and other accounting platforms. Bill.com’s accountant partner program provides a dashboard for managing multiple client accounts.

The platform is best suited for firms managing AP/AR for clients with significant vendor payment volumes, particularly mid-sized businesses where manual invoice processing and check writing consume substantial staff time.
