Bill (formerly Bill.com) automates the payables and receivables cycle for small and mid-size businesses, and is widely used by accounting firms delivering outsourced AP.
What it actually does
Invoices are captured and coded, routed for approval by configurable rules, and paid through the platform. The accountant console lets a firm manage many client entities from one login.
Who it suits
Firms running client accounting services, and SMBs with enough bill volume to justify a dedicated tool.
Where it falls short
Users report the interface feeling dated next to newer competitors, and pricing on a per-user basis can bite when several staff need access to each client.
What we like
- Mature, widely adopted, well integrated
- Strong multi-entity accountant console
- Handles both payables and receivables
What to watch
- Interface feels dated against newer rivals
- Per-user pricing across many clients adds up
- Payment timing can be slower than direct transfer
