Pros:
This is easy on the eyes and very user friendly which important to me.
Cons:
Our company has this integrated with Xero and I do not feel they work well together without duplication.

User-friendly expense management tool
Pros:
Bill.com makes expense tracking and submitting extremely easy. I like that it automatically will (sometimes correctly) recognize and categorize different budget categories. Both the desktop and mobile experience are great.
Cons:
I understand security is the utmost importance when it comes to financial management software, but my desktop app seems to never remember my device (even though I tell it to) upon login and I'm always needing to send a code to my phone.

Alternatives Considered:
Is it too good to be true? A simple click of a button and all my bills are paid?!
Comments: Having implemented BILL for over 20 clients, I truly believe it the software's ability to help company's manage their finances in the best of ways. Now with their continued integration of the Spend & Expense platform, it is becoming a one-stop-shop for your business financial needs.
Pros:
BILL makes invoicing and payment processing so simple. I am able to quickly move through the entire life-cycle of my billing in record time. The workflows and automations help make business more efficient and I get to spend more time focusing on the future of the company's I help.
Cons:
While BILL has been great there are some updates I believe would make things more relevant and easier. Specifically when a check is automatically voided after 90 days, the void is made using the original payment date instead of the void date. This could cause issues in reporting when integrating with QBO.

BILL Master
Comments: I would not be at my current role without BILL because I would not be able to manage the entire AP, AR, and accounting functions without it. It's a must-have!
Pros:
BILL allows me as a controller to cut down on headaches and time spent with paper documents and old processes. BILL is an automation tool for the future that allows an AP clerk to 10x their productivity.
Cons:
BILL is fairly expensive, but it is not an all-in-one solution to you must use it as an integrated solution although it often tops the price of the solutions its integrated into.

Bill.com = So Easy to Use
Comments: Great! I love the simplicity. That's the power of Bill
Pros:
Bill.com is easy to setup and is extremely simple.
Cons:

We thank you Thomas for your five star review! BILL values customer feedback when planning the future of the app. We will pass on your suggestion to our team regarding pricing. We are glad that you find the app simple to use .
Bill.com IS a gamechanger for us
Comments: BIll has helped us out tremendously. We have over 1000 vendor accounts since we order a ton of internet services for our customers. Since ATT/Spectrum/Frontier/etc etc did not allow direct deposit, our company was forced to send checks to make our payments. We could not do Credit card as the reconciliation can be messy. We have saved so much money on late fees. We are truly grateful for BILL and cant wait for the new features.
Pros:
The thing we loved most about bill is the inbox for our bills as well as our payments going straight to our vendors.
Cons:
A dark mode for BIll.com would be great. There are times where the inbox is not up to date. When 2 people are entering bills, there is a high chance there will be duplicates being entered.

Please allow secondary/partner access without 2-factor authentication.
Comments: In the beginning it wasn’t user friendly but now I have become proficient.
Pros:
Invoicing template is good. It saves all my previous entries.
Cons:
2 factor authentication as the number entered is of the company owner. Being an accountant I face a lot of difficulty when I have to ask him about the code he receives on his phone. He gets annoyed on this.

Thank you for your valuable feedback on BILL! We are happy to hear that you enjoy our invoice templates being able to save your previous entries. Our apologies for the difficulties you have had with the multi-factor authentication. We use the 2-step verification which adds a layer of protection, because it makes it extremely difficult to compromise the security of a BILL account. We appreciate all feedback as we are always trying to improve our customer's experience with our software.

Mostly a good software.
Comments: Customer support is hard to reach via phone.
Pros:
Is constantly updating their software. It makes collecting payment from customers who already use bill.com easy and straightforward.
Cons:
When I attempted to use the AR function and the sales tax solution it didn't meet my needs. I was unable to make it work, and it was extremely frustrating.

Simplified process for Invoice processing and payment application
Comments: Overall I would say it was a Good experience. I would recommend BILL to anyone who are looking to simplify their AP and AR process and even if you are looking BILL as a payment method to your vendors or receive payments from your customers. But if you are looking BILL as a Accounting or reporting software, then I would definitely recommend you to go with other softwares.
Pros:
We use multiple softwares to provide end to end accounting for clients. The best part about bill is its easy to integrate with other softwares. BILL creates easy to use invoices for our customers and also processing of vendor invoices is simple as most of the data is captured by IVA. The best part in BILL is payment processing as there are multiple methods to make payments and also charges for each payment is very less. We can initiate single payment for multiple invoices. We can even schedule the payment for vendors in BILL.
Cons:
Reporting is not as expected in BILL. We need to modify each and every data to get the required Excel. They need to even take care of designing of reports as the reports will not come with their own design and we need to do everything. Invoice creation templates are most common and we can't see any design there. They need to work Mork on design and Reporting part.

How I Use Bill.com
Comments: I think it's very useful, easy, well-structured, and allows users of varying levels the appropriate views. Our [sensitive content hidden] and our accountants use it much differently than I do, but we all get exactly what we need from it. I think that's what makes bill.com a great tool.
Pros:
I like how it's a complex platform, but my tasks are bare bones and basic and I can navigate to information a variety of different ways and get answers. You can be a low level user and still see the information you need, without having to go down a bunch of rabbit holes. It's forensic and basic at the same time.
Cons:
I can't think of anything I don't like about this platform.

bac exchange rates
Pros:
It is eazy to payments. But sometimes bill.com can do something strange and expensive for clients.
Cons:
I used payments in dollars. But suddenly, bill.com decided to switch it to AED, just because they decided it is better for recipient (who use USD account). So bill.com converted USD to AED (it costs 2.5% - too much), and transferred it to USD acc!

Thank you Nick for providing feedback on our software. We appreciate hearing that you find it easy to make payments. We apologize for the frustration caused by your vendor's currency being changed - they would have gotten an email notifying them that had changed and that they had an option to opt out and receive USD. If it happened recently then you should have seen a notification below their invoice letting you know as well. Please feel free to reach out to us by going to our website: https://help.bill.com/hc/en-us and request a call/chat or email if you have any questions or need assistance.
Ge
Comments: Works great and seamlessly MOST of the the time. Helps to manage accounting and bill payments and seems to be a great time saver that streamlines processes. I enjoy getting paid faster and love having a process I can track along the way.
Pros:
My experience with Bill is as an end-user only. I like the ability to create invoices for clients that utilize them for bill payment/accounting. Entering invoices is a simple process and I like that you are able to view and track your payment requests once submitted. The ability to filter invoices is also easy and you don’t have to learn more than you need to depending on which service/feature you use. I don’t use to process payments but as an accounts receivable option, it works great for me and allows me to get paid even faster. The processing fees are reasonable and expedited payments processing is an option that is also reasonable.
Cons:
While my experience is limited as an end-user, there have been a few times where my payment requests were not received or were duplicated. Not numerous but when it comes to payment, having it delayed for another reason is longer than most would want. The companies I know that utilize the full suite of offerings seem to be pleased and have used it long term with success.

Alternatives Considered:
Bill.com saves us hours each week!
Comments: overall, we are thankful it was recommended to us bc it saves time and helps with record keeping
Pros:
The automation of bill payments, invoicing from staff for reimbursements, direct deposit options, and that we no longer print any checks ourselves, this along has saved us hours each month. Also, keeps track of all payments for tax purposes.
Cons:
Sometimes it syncs with QB but there are errors. Bill.com no longer syncs with Expensify, which adds another layer of work for us if reimbursements are in Expensify.

Efficiency at its finest with Bill.com
Comments: Overall, Bill.com has been a valuable asset for our organization. Its automation of financial tasks, robust reporting capabilities and integration with popular accounting software has greatly improved our financial processes.
Pros:
As a administrator of Bill.com within my organization, I have found it to be an efficient and streamlined way to manage our financial processes. One of the greatest advantages of this software is the automation of tasks such as invoice processing, bill payments and account reconciliation. This has saved a significant amount of time and effort for our finance team and has improved our financial accuracy. Another strong aspect of Bill.com is the robustness of its reporting capabilities. It provides a wide range of financial metrics and insights that have helped us make data-driven decisions for our business. Additionally, the integration with popular accounting software such as QuickBooks and Xero makes it easy to keep our financial records up-to-date and in sync.
Cons:
A potential downside of using Bill.com is that it may require a bit of time and effort to set up the software and customize it to fit our specific needs. Additionally, while the software offers many features, some advanced features such as budgeting and forecasting may require additional tools or custom development.
