Accounts payable is one of the most universally frustrating workflows for firms and their clients. Invoices pile up in inboxes, approvals stall when decision-makers are unavailable, and manual entry introduces errors that take even more time to correct. Bill.com’s session demonstrated how a modernized, automated system can eliminate those friction points.
The workflow is simple: invoices enter the system through email, scan, or mobile app; details are automatically captured; approvals route to the right person; and payments are made securely by ACH, check, or card. All of this is tracked in a central dashboard that syncs directly with accounting software.
Session highlights
- Inbox capture. Invoices can be forwarded directly from email and instantly appear in Bill.com, pre-populated with vendor data.
- Smart approvals. Routing rules based on amount, department, or vendor ensure timely sign-off.
- Secure payments. Multiple payment methods are supported without exposing sensitive bank details.
- Built-in compliance. W-9s, 1099 tracking, and e-filing simplify year-end processes.
- System integrations. Bill.com connects with QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC.
Christine Gervais captured the practitioner’s perspective: “Forwarding an invoice from my email and seeing it appear in Bill without extra steps has been a huge time-saver.”
Why it matters
Automating payables goes beyond convenience. It reduces bottlenecks, increases visibility into cash flow, and allows firms to deliver better insights to clients. Instead of chasing approvals or fixing errors, accountants can focus on advising.
