BILL

Formerly Bill.com

We use Bill.com for two things:

• Accounts payable -- across the company we input all invoices into Bill.com (or have them sent to an email address that forwards to our Bill.com inbox). From there our (outsourced) accounting service enters the invoice information, encodes the vendors (or adds them) which is all synced with Quickbooks Online. Then we're able to route the invoices for approval by the appropriate persons within our company, schedule payment, etc.
• Expense reports -- we have all our employees setup as 'vendors' within Bill.com and have them send expense reports to the same email inbox. This makes routing / approving /paying expense reports very simple (although we do have to explain to people who are also approvers/bill.com users that they'll be both a 'user' and a 'vendor')

As a 10 person company (and I've used it at a ~130 person company), this allows us to dedicate nearly zero time and money to dealing with payables. It's a huge return on a very modest expense.

Bill.com being used by Non-for-profit clients as an organization-wide system a far as integrating into Sage Intacct to help with the streamlining of the Accounts Payable module. It does not do well with integration or customization, such as user-defined dimensions, of any kind. It even has problems with core designs such as location.

I used Bill.com to attempt to receive a payment from a client.

As a Canadian, I can't use Bill.com. As a writer, I tried to receive payments from my employer through Bill.com, and [I felt that] the entire process was convoluted and questionable. First, [in my experience] passwords were never accepted on the app, although I could log in without the app to see that my employer had paid my invoice through Bill.com. The money was sitting, (and still is) in a Bill.com account. There is no way to withdraw it or transfer it to my bank account. But there is no one in support [for me] to answer questions. When I complained to my employer, Bill.com reached out and asked for my phone number on three different occasions, apparently losing this personal information each time. Then they requested that I send them photos of my ID in order to transfer payment from their account to my bank. But once I sent the requested photos, [they] had to be approved by their underwriters with no timeline of when this would happen. Once the ID photos were sent, Bill.com went very, very quiet and would not answer any queries at all. Bill.com seems very sketchy to me, and [in my opinion] not a good way to send or receive payments at all.
