BILL is solving the most critical problem for business success: Cash flow
Cash flow control is critical to business success. But there are still too many business and finance leaders who lack the confidence and data visibility they need to make strategic financial decisions. Six in 10 financial leaders say that managing cash flow is a top priority in 2025, but almost two-thirds say they can’t improve their cash flow or forecast guidance with spreadsheets. Half of finance leaders report zero automation of their procurement process.
“In an uncertain environment, control and visibility of cash flow is not only key to efficiency – it’s one of the most powerful levers a business has to be more resilient. Legacy spreadsheets and disparate tools are costing American businesses time, money and opportunity, and BILL is the only technology partner delivering more control, more value and more innovation SMBs need and deserve,” said René Lacerte, CEO and Founder of BILL. “Our expansion into procurement reinforces how BILL is driving innovation and setting new standards for helping businesses and accountants to manage and control their cash flow, eliminate ‘busy work’, and make strategic decisions that drive long-term growth and success.”

Payments and customization at scale
BILL is making its intelligent platform more powerful with three new innovations to deliver payments and integration capabilities at scale.
(1) BILL Multi-Entity enables businesses and accounting firms to manage payments across multiple organizations from a single, centralized platform.

- Easily add new entities and manage payments, expenses and approvals across multiple organizations within one platform.
- Gain centralized financial oversight with streamlined cash flow management, bill approvals and payment processing across entities for enhanced visibility and control.
(2) The BILL API Platform empowers businesses and accountants to tailor financial workflows to meet their unique needs. With thousands of organizations already benefitting from this new capability, BILL is delivering the technology businesses need to scale and grow with confidence. Businesses can:

(3) As businesses grow, the volume and complexity of managing payables leads to increased costs, compliance risks and barriers to scale. Finance teams can spend days and weeks manually processing thousands of bills. BILL will save businesses time and money by making it easier to pay bills in bulk. Enhancements include:
- The ability to pay thousands of bills at a time, helping teams handle growing transaction volumes with ease and speed for maximum efficiency.
- Smarter bill selection, faster processing and improved error handling– all built to streamline approval workflows, reduce manual work and keep payments flowing without disruption.
