About BILL (Bill.com)
The AP and spend layer that sits on top of the US ledger stack.
BILL was founded in 2006 by René Lacerte in San Jose, California, listed on the NYSE in December 2019 under the ticker $BILL, and rebranded from Bill.com to BILL in 2022. Two acquisitions in 2021 reshaped the product: Divvy at 2.5 billion dollars added corporate cards and budget controls, and Invoice2go at 625 million dollars added invoicing for the smaller end of the market. Today BILL is the AP automation, AR and spend-management platform of choice for more than 500,000 US small and mid-market businesses, with deep integrations into QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics and Acumatica.
BILL is not a general ledger. It is a workflow layer that captures the bill, runs it through coded approvals, schedules the payment over ACH, virtual card, check or international wire, and then writes the journal back to the accounting system. The same is true for the Divvy side: the card transaction, the budget, the receipt capture and the GL coding all happen in BILL before the booking lands in QuickBooks or Intacct. Pulling that into a warehouse is the moment the AP backlog, the approver bottleneck and the corporate-card spend pattern stop hiding behind a tile in the BILL dashboard. The cash-out picture, the vendor concentration and the budget-versus-spend gap show up next to revenue, payroll and the rest of the operational stack.
