Thanks is Never Enough

CEO_outside_4When you are an entrepreneur, people often
assume that what drives you is the thrill of the game, the business of creating
a new business, the excitement of raising money and convincing others to back
your idea. But I think if you asked most entrepreneurs why they build
companies, the answer would be more straightforward: entrepreneurs build
businesses because they like solving problems. They strive  to bring their customers something that they
don’t just like, but something that they need. And maybe—if they are good
enough—something their customers truly love. 

Bill.com is blessed with having a cadre of
passionate, prolific and powerful customers. We couldn’t ask for better brand
ambassadors than you. And, once again, you have supported us this week and we have
won, for the fourth time in a row, an Awesome Application award from The
Sleeter Group.

We cherish this award not just because The Sleeter Group is awesome itself, but
because it shows us that our customers are loyal—and happy—enough to go out and
vote for us. And, beyond any other kind of recognition, your vote is what tells
us that we are doing something right.

So, in this national election season, we are
thankful for winning our own little election. We look forward to continuing to
serve you, our customers, and continuing to make Bill.com the most powerful
solution on the market. And—while you may wonder the sincerity of all those
other speeches we are being inundated with on a daily basis about now—know that
our thanks are sincere and our commitment is unwavering. We look forward to
delighting you in the years to come.

No Check, Please!

Michael Profile Pic v2In a day and age where people pay with their
phones to get their morning coffee, it’s sometimes hard to believe that writing
checks at the grocery store was once an everyday occurrence and not just an
incredible headache (if you are the person behind the check-writer in line). It
is almost strange to think that once most people carried their checkbooks in
their wallets. And that once upon a time automatic deposit was a revelation…and
a bit scary.

But not now—and not for the next generation
of CEOs. Forget automatic deposits. Forget paperless file storage. This new
generation of CEOs are on to something far bigger—check-less businesses.

W. Michael Hsu, founder and CEO
of DeepSky, an outsourced accounting services boutique, has built his entire
business around his virtual, paperless team of accountants.  And the 28 year-old Hsu, who has never
written a paper check for his business, will only work with companies willing
to move their entire operations to Bill.com.

Michael is a forward-thinker, for
sure, but he is far from alone. As a new generation that works more on their
phones than at their desks emerges, paper simply isn’t practical.  Michael has geographically dispersed employees
and clients. Writing paper checks just wouldn’t make sense for anyone as it
would involve Fed-Exing checks, having paper stock in multiple locations, and many
more small but significant logistical challenges.

Michael tells a great story of a
client team desperately trying to track down a CEO to complete a transaction as
soon as possible. They finally found the CEO and he was able to access and
approve the transaction in time—and from a line at Disneyland. In a paper-based
business, this just wouldn’t be possible.

Business today is conducted
everywhere at any time. I know, as a CEO myself, if I want to cut a check, I
want to be able to do it wherever I might be, and I don’t want to wait around
for paper stock to get Fed-Exed to my hotel room. If you think about it, we
live in a digital age, why are we still manually writing checks?

So kudos to Michael and this new generation of CEOs for leading their way. They
represent a revolution in how business is being done. And, yes, as I have said
before and firmly believe, the revolution will indeed be paperless.

Learn more about Michael in our upcoming webinar "The No-Check CEO" on Nov. 1. You can register here.

Intuit and Bill.com: Why Our Integration Works

0
0

This
week, I am pleased to aIntuitnnounce our further integration with Intuit’s QuickBooks product line, including QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Pro, Premier and
Enterprise. I’m pleased not just because this means QuickBooks’s more
than four
million SMB customers have an even easier way to integrate Bill.com into QuickBooks,
but because this is the culmination of two great companies sharing the same
laser focus on developing for their customers.

At
Intuit’s core, they listen to customers and develop for them. I learned this
during my five years on the product management team at Intuit, and I have been
impressed as their focus on customers has remained constant even as they have
added new types of customers.

In
the last few years, with the Intuit Partner Platform, Intuit has added
developers like Bill.com to their list of customers. Over the past four years,
we have worked closely with Intuit as they have developed their app platform.
Our feedback has been critical and well received. When we first started working
with them, Intuit was still trying to figure out how to open up the APIs and
distribute the resulting apps. They knew they wanted a platform ecosystem,
but were new to building one.

But
they are learning. And this is because of one important fact about Intuit: they
don’t just study their customers, they follow them home. In the case of
developers, they have come to our office to learn and strategize next steps. I
feel they are listening and doing their best, even though they may not be as
nimble as a start-up. In fact, last year Intuit invited me to speak at both
their CEO and management offsites, which focused on how to be a good partner to
developers. I respect their commitment to always learn more and mine all they
can from their developer relationships.

Through
their dedication with making their customers happy, Intuit has built a great
platform and we are glad to be a founding—and vital—part of it. Like Intuit,
listening to our customers is at the very core of our values. We look forward
to your thoughts on this newest integration with Intuit. And we promise to
continue focusing all of our efforts on bringing you, our customers what you want
and what you need to be successful.

Both Companies Recognized with The Sleeter Group ‘Awesome Application’ Award Recognizing Integration, Ease-of-Use & Design

THE SLEETER ASC CONFERENCE, Anaheim, CA. (Oct. 22, 2012) – Xero, a global leader of online accounting software, and Bill.com, the leader in integrated bill payment, invoicing and cash management solutions for businesses, today announced the upcoming integration capability between their accounting solutions, making it even easier than ever for accounting professionals and their clients to conveniently and securely collaborate while gaining better control and insight into their financials.  Additionally, today both cloud-based solutions were recognized as “Awesome Applications” at the 2012 Accounting Solutions Conference (ASC) hosted by The Sleeter Group, a company dedicated to finding the best accounting technology solutions to help small businesses work smarter, faster and more efficiently.

“As the leader in global cloud accounting, Xero understands how important it is for SMBs and their accounting partners to stay on top of their accounts payable and receivable,” said Jamie Sutherland, President of U.S. Operations for Xero.  “Bill.com streamlines the process in such a simple (and paperless) way, so similar to Xero’s easy-to-use accounting solution.  Early on we saw this as a mutually beneficial opportunity.” 

Through the integration with Bill.com, Xero users will be able to:  

  • Go paperless. Clients receive bills online and never have to print, sign, and mail checks.
  • Get unlimited document storage for all bills and documents.
  • Automate the approval process.
  • Pay bills electronically with no duplicate data entry.
  • Manage their clients' invoicing process to help them get paid faster.
  • Access cleared check images and remittance information.
  • View accrued, actual and projected cash flows in real-time.

“We built Bill.com to ease financial professionals’ lives and increase their success,” said René Lacerte, founder and CEO of Bill.com. “Integrating with Xero’s excellent solution was a natural way to make SMBs and accountants’ financial management even more seamless and powerful.”

Xero's online accounting software provides small business owners real-time visibility into their financial position in a way that's simple, smart and secure.  Xero also helps accounting professionals serve their clients by enabling unparalleled online collaboration with clients, colleagues and prospects — and the ongoing insight helps them provide better counsel to customers.

Bill.com delivers a complete cloud-based financial solution for businesses and accountants that provides the tools, information and collaboration required to better manage their financial tasks and optimize cash flow. Bill.com brings accountants the only client service solution that works with all major accounting software and every online bank. Bill.com eliminates paperwork and streamlines AP, AR and cash flow management for accountants and their clients, flexibly configuring to the way accountants work and tailors to each client’s needs. In addition, Bill.com’s cloud-based AP and AR systems, combined with Bill.com’s cash flow command and control system, offer the first full picture of a business’s complete cash flow system and empowers businesses and their accountants to get paid two to three times faster and save over 50% of the time spent paying bills – all with unprecedented control, precision, and security. 


Bill.com Survey Featured in CFO Magazine

The Cloud | October 18, 2012 | CFO.com | US

Some CFOs Still Find Cloud Ominous

A new survey says most CFOs are aware of the cloud’s benefits, but still resist making the move. What’s up?

A survey of 350 CFOs conducted last summer by software-as-a-service (SaaS) cash-flow operations firm Bill.com found that when CFOs automate their accounts-payable process in the cloud, the AP department cuts its work time by more than half, and slashes the cost per invoice by up to 70%.

Stare Into My Crystal Ball: My Predictions for 2013

0
0

PredictionsAs an
entrepreneur, one of the best parts of your job is coming up with great new
ideas. And, working in the technology industry, some of the most fun comes each
December when you are inevitably asked to speculate on what great new strides
our industry will make in the coming year. While I don’t own a crystal ball, I
do have a lot of years in Silicon Valley under my belt. So I feel confident
that at least some of my predictions will come true this year. 

Without
further ado, I give you my top ten predictions for 2013:

  1. Social media will weave itself into the everyday
    lives of people, especially businesses, in a more pervasive way than ever
    before.  I know this may seem obvious,
    but it is worth saying: social is going to become more ingrained this year than
    you ever thought possible.
  2. Businesses will have to find ways to be more
    efficient with less, especially given the slow economic growth and the expected
    minor inflation in Q4 of 2013. This means more cloud services, which are known
    for reducing costs, will be utilized and developed.
  3. Mobile will firmly insert itself into the
    everyday life of businesses.  Businesses will expect more  apps on their phones that take care of business.
  4. Desktop accounting software will continue its
    decline. In fact, the decline will speed up as the benefits of cloud
    (social and mobile in particular) become expected.
  5. The iPad mini will accelerate the ebook
    revolution.  Because of this, many more magazines will stop their paper
    versions, especially vertical publications.
  6. Investing in social will drop dramatically
    because social simply cannot be monetized as a standalone product. Instead,
    companies with real business models will pick up the social and mobile mantle.
     
  7. Our society will become more and more paperless, and
    the products that make this happen will grow faster than other businesses.
  8. There will be more collaboration across
    companies.   Faced with economic constraints, companies will learn to use
    the cloud to easily leverage each other’s innovation and intellectual property  The result will be better businesses and
    better solutions.  Companies will come together to solve big business problems.
    And hopefully this spirit of collaboration will even carry to D.C.
  9. ePayments will become standard business practice,
    not just because of the paperless benefits mentioned above but because
    ePayments help people work smarter and faster.
  10. 2013 will be the year of the business payment network.
    Credit cards will be a thing of the past as a new generation of ePayment-fueled
    business payment networks emerge. I will share more with you on this prediction
    shortly so watch this space.

So, there you have my list. If only half of these
predictions come true, we will see major advancements in 2013. I’m looking
forward to another exciting year and Bill.com is committed to helping drive the
innovation needed to make the promise of the cloud a business reality for financial
professionals everywhere.

Play by your own rules – customize approval policies

Check

You pay a lot of bills. Before paying the big
ones, you want someone to approve them. For the really big ones, you want
several someones to approve (maybe even some particular someones). You aren't
just anyone: you call the shots, you make the rules. Wanna know more? To customize your approval
policies (beta), contact us.

Jump
nimbly – fix ePayment failures
 

Typos. New bank accounts. Forgetfulness. They
happen. But if they result in your missing a payment to a vendor, you want to
jump on it. Fast. If you miss making a payment due to an
erroneous vendor bank account number or routing number, we flag it in your To
Do list, ASAP. We email your vendor and tell them exactly what happened. We
email you and explain exactly what to do. Jump nimbly.

Run
secure'r – choose additional security 
 

LockWe've always got you covered. Now we've added
armor plating. When something catches our attention, we send a security code to
your phone. Then we prompt you to enter the code in your Bill.com account, so
we know everything is OK. The only person who should view and use your
sensitive information is you. Learn more. To set up this additional
security, contact us.


Sync AND swim – connect with Xero

XeroDo your accounting in the cloud with Xero? Syncing brings over
everything from Xero that you need for your payables and receivables: vendors,
customers, products, and details. Syncing also sends your Bill.com payables and
receivables transactions back to Xero, efficiently keeping your accounting
up-to-date. We work together, swimmingly.
 Interested? Currently
sync with another accounting system, but want to move to Xero? Contact us.

Divide
and conquer – keep ePayments separate

Schedule a lot of ePayments to the same vendor?
If you schedule them for the same day, we’ve always combined the payments and
made one electronic transfer to your vendor.
But sometimes you want to send
separate ePayments. Maybe you (and your vendor) like the simplicity of
reconciling specific bills with specific ePayments. Whatever the reason, we now
give you a choice: make specific payments on separate electronic transfers, or
combine payments onto one ePayment. When it comes to dividing, you do the
deciding. Learn more.
