We launched a network of 35+ affiliates that continues to grow. We use Bill.com to pay out these affiliates, but also to pay our other payables. We use Bill.com across the entire organization with the QuickBooks integration. We are a small team, and Bill.com allows us to scale our payables so we don't have to be bogged down cutting checks every month.
  • Scales along with our network
  • QuickBooks integration
  • Easy for our payables to sign up to get paid
Cons
  • It's not clear how to get to some features
  • I often have to dig a bit to find certain areas of the website
  • When synchronizing from QuickBooks it carries over everything with it, so it's sometimes hard to find what you're looking for
Bill.com is well suited for payables. We use it specifically for payables only. It probably does an ok job at receivables, but we were a QuickBooks user first so we haven't looked at using Bill.com for that. Bill.com is also well suited for scaling up your business without scaling up the work load.

Chill and pay your bill

As a bookkeeping firm, we set up Bill.com for our clients to ease up the process of paying bills and receiving payments. Most of the bookkeepers who have multiple clients work mostly remotely so Bill.com eliminates the process of check runs thus saving multiple trips to the client's office. Moreover, Bill.com stores all the bills providing a convenient database for clients and bookkeepers.
  • The inbox is a convenient way of receiving bills as it extracts attachments from the incoming email converting them to the bills ready to process, it has an option to fax the bill directly to the inbox, and, my personal favorite, convenient drag-and-drop option for easily uploading documents to the inbox.
  • OCR feature is amazing, it converts images to text and this enhances the search option making it easy to find documents by typing something that's in them into the search field.
  • The "Most Recently Used" feature is a very convenient tool to quickly getting back to the previous documents that you have worked on.
Cons
  • Bill.com could improve on account selection when entering bills. In other words, if you do not have in mind a specific account, you will most likely have to go through the whole chart of accounts to find the suitable one. The type-in search is a bit too specific as typing in a parent account does not show its sub accounts if their name does not start the same way as the parent account.
For the bookkeepers, who have multiple clients and can not afford the time for check runs, Bill.com is a perfect solution.

Bill.com lets you give up check writing.

Bill.com is being used to help customers pass on information to our team easily and to reduce time in the accounts payable process.
  • Bill.com lets us email bills directly to Bill.com, this feature saves us lots of time because we don't have to sort through tons of e-mails to find our clients accounts payable items.
  • The digital copies it saves are easy to read and find.
  • Easy communication between users and approvers.
Cons
  • It would be great if you could [pay] by via credit card in Bill.com.
  • I would like the feature to allow users pay approved bills with limitations.

I Heart Bill.com!

Our company is a virtual accounting/bookkeeping business, therefore Bill.com fits into our operational model perfectly. We use this for most of our clients to help manage their accounts payable and accounts receivable, although I personally have not used the accounts receivable module. This addresses such business problems such as not being in a physical office with our clients. It makes it so easy for the client to send the bills to Bill.com themselves, or send them to us and we import them into Bill.com, and also provides visibility to their bills no matter where they are.
  • Having all of the bills and bill payment history available online makes it so much easier for our clients, and ourselves as well. It takes away that need to be in one physical location where the bills are kept, or where there is one computer with the software on it that keeps all of the bills/bill payment information.
  • Importing bills into Bill.com is a breeze - I love the drag and drop feature! Bill.com makes it so easy to get the bills loaded and paid. My clients can also e-mail the bills to Bill.com themselves, or have me do it, and I really like how you can opt to have the e-mail as a page as well, in case you want to attach it to the bill as back-up.
  • Bill.com's chat feature for their support is another fantastic feature. I highly recommend my clients use it if they ever need any help. Bill.com support employees are always friendly, the wait is never very long at all (1-2 minutes is normal), and they are extremely knowledgeable with not only their product, but making sure your books are being affected properly as well.
Cons
  • The zoom feature on the bills will zoom in, however the view is still blurry. It would be nice to be able to increase it so I could read it, but not lose visibility.
  • When e-mails that have links, not attachments, for bills are forwarded to Bill.com, the e-mail is turned into a text document. It would be nice to have the link stay there so I could just click on it from Bill.com to see the bill copy, rather than opening from my e-mail, saving the document to my Desktop, and importing it into Bill.com.
The only situation I have run into where Bill.com is less appropriate would be for the clients that only have a couple of recurring bills they pay a month, in which they could just set up auto-payments with their vendors to make the payments. Other than that, I cannot imagine Bill.com not working for anyone. I have one client who processes about 100 bills per week through Bill.com and this has helped us greatly with organizing their payables!

This is a good tool to streamline AP.

We use Bill.com for accounts payable. Some donors choose to make their donations through Bill.com, too. The approval process works through Bill.com. The system enables us to implement an efficient workflow and segregation of duties for proper internal controls. It's also integrated with the accounting database.
  • The approval process is easy to set up.
  • Processing invoices from entering it into the system to payment is paperless.
  • The integration with the accounting database has worked well.
Cons
  • Tech support is only available by chat.
  • We didn't intend to use Bill.com for cash receipts, so I didn't realize we had received some money until a donor inquired.
We have been able to go paperless for accounts payable and reduce man-hours for a reasonable cost.
