Overall Satisfaction with BILL

We use QuickBooks Online for Accounting and Bill.com for AR and AP; invoicing via Credit Card and ACH. In my experience, Bill.com still has no way to change what appears on a customers credit card statement from your corporate name to your DBA (Doing Business As)? How basic can it get and they don't have any way to fix it in my experience. In my experience, I spent 90 minutes on chat support only to learn :"At the moment the DBA name cannot be made to display on customer merchant statements, emails or notifications. What they can do is submit feature request to the Development team and provide details regarding your workflow and why DBA is best to show for your Customers. In my experience, there is no way to mark a Church, Non Profit, Goverment Entity or another reseller as Tax Exempt. In my experience, the only way to make an invoice tax exempt is to change all the products to tax exempt. In my experience, by doing so this also updates the invoice in QBO so that my CPA and Bookkeeper report the wrong figures resulting in an Audit.
  • By forcing an end customer / client / payee to sign in to pay an invoice it reduces the potential for chargebacks. Clients also retain access to the invoice so we don't need to send another copy as often.
  • DBA not the Corp name should appear on merchant statements and almost all invoice templates etc that are scene by anyone.
  • In my experience, there is also no way to mark a customer as tax-exempt. The only work around is to make the product tax exempt resulting in inaccurate reporting to the goverment and ultimately an Audit in my experience.
  • In my experiece, their chat support takes an hour just to respond with a yes or no answer on any subject of any time. Regardless of time of day.

Would you buy BILL again?

Bill.com is great for paying bills and getting approvals from more than one party within an organization. However, I believe you will piss off all your vendors in doing so because bill.com makes money on floating your payments for 7-10 extra days in my opinoin. In my experienc, I would never use bill.com for accounts receivable since they do not have the ability to mark a client as tax exempt or for your DBA to appear on a merchant statement instead of your corporate name in my experience.
