Excerpt from Small businesses tap into cloud for efficiency – by Roger Yu, USA TODAY

"…..With
a niche focus, developers can also breed innovations that weren't
possible with software that came in boxes, such as integrating the
functions of other software by using open developer tools, says Rene
Lacerte, CEO of Bill.com, which specializes in billing.

On
Bill.com, users can tap into banks' online banking tools and other
broader accounting suites, such as Intacct and Quicken. "In the last 10
years, the cloud changed the paradigm about how software is built,"
Lacerte says.

Banks Can Now
Seamlessly Integrate Bill.com’s Cash Flow-Centric Banking Solution with Their SMB Offerings

Boca Raton, Fla., 17^th ANNUAL SMALL BUSINESS BANKING
CONFERENCE— Nov. 7, 2012 — Bill.com, the leader in integrated bill payment, invoicing, and cash
management solutions for businesses, today introduced the
next major milestone in its banking platform. Bill.com has added broad
integration capabilities to its cash flow-centric banking platform for banks
and their small and mid-size business (SMBs) customers. Bill.com enables banks to develop additional
revenue streams and increase customer acquisition and retention by offering
business customers a powerful accounts payable and accounts receivable service. More than 100,000 companies are now getting paid and paying millions of
bills, worth billions of dollars, using Bill.com.  Bill.com is the only solution that empowers
businesses to have full command and control over their cash flow at any time,
from any location or device.

Current business
banking solutions are limited to transactional payment processes. This leaves
businesses of all sizes with the need to use disconnected bill payment and
accounting solutions to gain control of their finances. The result is a
cumbersome process plagued by inefficiencies, security risks, and errors. In contrast, Bill.com is the only solution that puts banks at the
core of their customers’ business. 
Bill.com allows banks to integrate the Bill.com solution with their own
platform, creating their own branded offering. Bill.com empowers banks to own
the entire cash flow management process—from payables and receivables, to cash
flow visualization. Bill.com makes banks the focal point for all of their
customers’ transactions, letting banks monetize the full cash management
process while solving a significant pain point for SMBs by finally automating
and connecting all of their financial processes. 

“Just as CheckFree helped banks revolutionize the consumer payments
industry, Bill.com is now enabling banks to do the same for their business customers’
cash flow management and payments processes,” said Mark Johnson, former Vice
Chairman of CheckFree Corporation and current Bill.com board member. “Bill.com understands the problem banks have faced trying
to cobble together a business solution from their consumer offerings. Bill.com
has fixed the problem via an integrated, efficient platform that helps banks
win customer loyalty and brings them the ability to earn additional revenue.”

The
Bill.com Banking Platform is based on six key components,
all of which offer new and unique features. With this newest release of the
Banking Platform, Bill.com has enabled API
access to each of the components of the platform.  These APIs enable banks
to seamlessly integrate with their banks’ SMB offerings, giving SMBs a
seamless, cash-flow centric approach to running their businesses.

These components
are:

• Authentication:  Bill.com offers single sign-on and
  multi-factor authentication (MFA), meaning customers can gain access to their cash flow management control
  center anytime they log into online banking.  Using their bank’s
  authentication, their critical financial information is easy to access and
  secure.  The MFA framework enables the
  highest levels of security to enable business processes and secure payments.
• Entitlements: Entitlements govern the information
  employees and accountants have access to and the functions they can perform,
  such as approving bills and making payments. Bill.com alone provides
  out-of-the-box roles and permissions, while also enabling customers to create
  their own to suit their unique controls. It takes just a few clicks for payees
  and customers to be set up.
• Business Objects: Through the Bill.com
  platform, banks can offer their clients robust payables, receivables, cash flow
  management, document management, and workflow applications. Now they can also integrate
  Bill.com objects into their business banking services, using the company’s next
  generation API, based on JSON. The API gives banks an unprecedented ability  to customize business objects, incorporate them into their own user interface,
  and easily change them as the bank platform grows and changes. Bill.com’s
  extensive business objects enable banks to tailor and support their cash-flow
  centric platform like never before.
• Business Systems Integration: Bill.com integrates with all popular
  accounting packages so all your customer’s data is accurate and synchronized,
  and all of their existing financial processes and reports carry on as usual.
  Through advanced two-way synchronization, Bill.com eliminates the
  time-consuming and error-prone tasks of keeping all these various systems in
  sync. This sync process is superior to other solutions, which simply import and
  export data. As the Banking Platform expands, Bill.com will also be adding
  integration with a variety of other business systems in order to enhance
  companies’ overall cash flow control.
•  Payment
  Processing: Through Bill.com, banks can provide their clients a convenient
  and secure means through which they can send, receive, and reconcile payments
  across multiple payment channels, including ACH, checks, wire transfer, and
  credit card payments.  The Bill.com Bank
  Platform integrates with banks’ existing payment systems, to further leverage
  these investments.
• Payment Network: Bill.com offers a secure business
  network designed specifically for the needs of SMBs.  Through Bill.com’s cloud-based portals and
  payee directory, business can securely interact and transact with their
  customers and vendors.  They can exchange
  business documents, notes, eBills, eInvoices, and remittance information
  electronically to enable greater efficiency and convenience in traditionally
  cumbersome, paper-based processes.  The
  Bill.com network makes it easier for bank clients to connect and transact with
  their partners, vendors and customers while allowing the bank to capture a new
  source for fee-based revenue.

“Bill.com has
already revolutionized how small and mid-sized businesses work and now we are
transforming how they bank,” said René Lacerte, founder and CEO, Bill.com. “We built the Bill.com Banking
Platform based on direct feedback from banks, who told us that their current
systems just couldn’t meet their business customers’ needs. We are glad to be
helping banks turn the old banking paradigm on its ear, by making banking solutions
cash flow centric. The result will be banking solutions that work the way
businesses do.”

About Bill.com’s Banking Solution

The Bill.com cash flow command and control
system is the only solution that makes banks the core of their customers’
business. By allowing banks to integrate the Bill.com solution with their own
platform, Bill.com empowers banks to own the entire cash flow management
process—from payables to receivables to cash flow visualization. Bill.com makes
banks the focal point of all their customers’ transactions, letting banks
monetize the full cash management process while solving a significant pain
point for SMBs by finally automating and connecting all of their financial
processes. The award-winning Bill.com platform is being embraced by banks
because it creates significant new revenue streams while enhancing customer
loyalty and satisfaction. For more information, please visit http://www.bill.com/for-banks.

Receive thanks from any key vendor – mail separate checks

Schedule a lot of payments by check
to the same vendor? If you schedule them for the same day, we’ve always
combined the payments and mailed one check to your vendor.

But sometimes you want to mail
separate checks. Maybe you need a separate check for a tax payment. Or you (and
your vendor) like the simplicity of reconciling specific bills with specific
checks. Whatever the reason, we now give you a choice: make specific payments
on separate checks, or combine payments onto one check.

What
about the email that went to the vendor for each payment?  If you scheduled a lot of payments for the
same day to the same vendor, they received a lot of email (even though they
received only one check). Now we’ll send one email for each check. So if you
mail separate checks, a vendor still receives separate email confirmations. If
you combine payments onto one check, a vendor gets one email.

Your
vendors will give you thanks.

Do our improved Approvals meet with your approval?

Approve bills. Easier. Faster. Simpler. Cleaner.

• Add approvers directly to a bill. Previously, you had
  to step through several pages. Now it’s easier.
• Click Approve (instead of My Bills) on the Payables
  tab. We’ve renamed My Bills to Approve. With a more obviously intuitive name,
  you actually know where to click! Now it’s faster.
• Fix denied bills from your To Do list. Customize
  specific user roles to resolve bills (and vendor credits) that have been
  denied. Previously, if an approver denied a bill you’d entered, the bill
  appeared on the Payables tab > My Bills. Now it’s simpler.
• Assign one set of approvers to bills that are split.
  We’ve removed multiple sets of approvers for split bills. That allowed us to
  tidy things up. Now it’s cleaner.

We think you’ll approve.

See the last 5 payments to any vendor

Previously, you had to dig through
each bill to find a specific payment to a vendor. Now, see the last 5 payments
to any particular vendor with no digging whatsoever. So put your shovel away
until you need to clear snow from the driveway.

Send your customers a message right from Bill.com

Have an urgent message for a
customer? What if they have a question for you? Exchange messages directly with
any customer, from your Bill.com account to the customer website where they
sign in to pay you. It’s quick. It’s easy. And best of all, you get a permanent
record of all your exchanges. Keep it all together in your Bill.com account.

Outside these customer
conversations, ever need to jot down something about a customer? Their favorite
product? Their birthday? Their purchasing habits? We’ve moved these notes front
and center. Actually, they’re front and a little off to the right. But they’re
right where you need them.

We’ve copied these note-able improvements to Payables, too, so
it’s easy to store notes about your vendors.

The Bill.com experience – well, that’s obvious

We strive to make your payables and
receivables as obvious as possible. Hopefully our most recent improvements make
the experience so obvious that we don’t even need to explain! But just in case
you forgot how it was in the old days (last week), here are a couple
highlights:

• We’ve cleaned up the
  pop up (modal) dialogs, which hold things like your bills and invoices. We’ve
  made it clearer to get to them, and easier to get around inside them.
• We’ve added some
  consistency to links and buttons: links take you to another page, buttons make
  something happen.

Why bother? Because when you know
what to expect, you get things done faster. That leaves more time for your
business, and more time for yourself.

Sync with Xero effort

Do your accounting in the cloud with Xero? Paying bills and
invoicing customers just got a lot easier for you, because we now sync 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 transcations back to Xero,
efficiently keeping your accounting up-to-date.

Keep using Xero for all your accounting, and Bill.com to pay
bills and invoice customers. We’ll keep everything in sync. In the cloud.

It’s been another great year for the Bill.com
family. We’ve gained new customers, made major technological strides, offered
new solutions, and entered new markets, like banking. And we’ve had fun doing
it—which is such an important but often forgotten part of work and, for that
matter, life.

I’m looking forward to spending a wonderful
Thanksgiving with my family and friends, for which I am incredibly grateful.
But, before the turkey coma sets in, I wanted to share a few other things that
I am grateful for this Thanksgiving day.

• First, last, foremost and always,
  I am grateful for our customers. I just finished reading the comments from our
  annual Net Promoter Survey. I loved seeing all the comments about how we are
  making folks’ lives easier, simpler and more convenient. But I also loved
  seeing the great honest comments about what we can do better. I am so thankful
  that our customers take the time to tell us where we excel and where we need
  some work. It’s thanks to customers who care enough to give us feedback that we
  can keep moving the ball forward.
• I am extremely fortunate to be
  surrounded and supported by an amazing team. 
  They are passionate, dedicated and committed to everything we do.   Every
  day folks go to work to make a difference and every day they do. You only have
  to read the Net Promoter survey to see that our employees help customers daily
  with product innovations and great support. Well done, team.
• Finally I am glad that the
  election is over. Maybe this isn’t a politically correct thing to say, but it
  feels like our nation has been on hold in many respects for the last few
  months. Regardless of whether or not you like the outcome, we can finally stop
  listening to the commercials, pundits and hype, and get back to work solving
  the problems we have.

We have
much to be grateful for, including where we live and the time we live in.  Pausing to give thanks is always good to do.  As you each take time off, I thank you for
reading and hope you enjoy peace, family and laughter on this Thanksgiving day.

By Using The
Latest Technology To Deliver The Highest Strategic Value

PALO ALTO, CALIF.— Dec. 4, 2012 — Bill.com, the leader in integrated bill payment,
invoicing and cash management solutions for businesses, today announced that it
has teamed with leading cloud financial management company Intacct to explore how
the new generation of “Strategic CFOs” can free themselves of mundane tasks and

Up-and-coming “Strategic CFOs” are using
game-changing advances to automate manual processes and deliver unprecedented

rich information than ever before to fulfill their new role as emerging
business leaders. This webinar features Marc Linden, CFO, Intacct, and joint
Bill.com/Intacct customer Stacey Lee, CFO, Earth Class Mail.  Sponsored by Bill.com, it will teach attendees
how to:

• seize the opportunity to assume a larger role
  in their organization;
• boost the productivity of their finance team;
• speed up competitive response with instant
  visibility into critical data;
• free their IT and capital resources to focus
  on their core business; and
• scale and adapt to growing business needs
  easily and cost-effectively.

“Technology has
the power to transform the CFO role, finally freeing these critical corporate
thinkers from mundane tasks and giving them time to make meaningful business
decisions,” said René Lacerte, founder and CEO
of Bill.com. “We are pleased to team with our strategic partner Intacct on this
webinar, and look forward to sharing some great ideas and hearing first-hand
success stories from the vibrant CFO community.”

Bill.com delivers
a complete web-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's game-changing technology digitizes a historically
paper-based and time-consuming process, allowing users to access online bill
payments, e-invoicing, document management, and automated workflow through one
easy system. In addition to seamlessly integrating with business' existing
accounting software programs, Bill.com provides financial leaders with a
comprehensive view of their cash forecast – making it the only solution that
connects a user's banks, bookkeeping, and business.  

Bill.com, the leader in integrated bill payment, invoicing, and cash management solutions for businesses, today announced that it is now offering its popular integration with QuickBooks Online to those using QuickBooks Pro, Premier, and Enterprise. Now even more QuickBooks users can seamlessly integrate Bill.com into their financial management systems and create tailored solutions for their distinct needs.

By integrating Bill.com directly into QuickBooks, small businesses can easily deploy Bill.com, taking advantage of the tools, information, and collaboration required to better manage their financial tasks and optimize cash flow. It requires just one click installation from the Bill.com page on the Intuit App Center for any compatible version of QuickBooks. Users can get started in seconds, they just click “Try It Now” and it brings all their bills to Bill.com, and starts paying them online. Also, Bill.com automatically syncs payables and receivables data.

“Bill.com has been a leading solution on our platform, receiving strong positive customer feedback, so we are excited it is now available to even more small businesses,” said Alex Chriss, director of the Intuit Partner Platform. “Allowing our millions of users to fully and easily personalize QuickBooks with Bill.com gives them not only a superior financial management solution but lets them spend more time growing their business and less time chasing down transactions.”

“Intuit and Bill.com share the common goal of bolstering small businesses’ productivity by easing their financial management burdens,” said René Lacerte, Bill.com founder and CEO. “As a long-time top performing app on the Intuit App Center, we are excited to make it even easier for small businesses to integrate our leading solutions together, letting business owners focus their minds on more important matters.”

This
week, I am pleased to announce 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.

  Finalist

As 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

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  

We'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

Do 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.

our amazing customers as possible, we've decided to host an open chat session

Recognized in Best Software as a Service Category

Palo Alto,
Calif.— Jan. 16, 2013 — Bill.com,
the leader in integrated bill payment, invoicing, and cash management solutions
for businesses, today announced it has been named a winner in the Best Software
as a Service category of the 2012-2013 Cloud Awards Program.

The cloud
computing awards program accepts entries from organizations of any size –
from enterprises to start-ups – in the US and internationally, with an aim to
celebrate excellence in the field of cloud computing.

“Bill.com has used the
cloud to transform the finance industry, finally freeing finance
professionals from the old manual, error-prone ways of managing cash flow and
moving funds,” said René Lacerte, founder and CEO, Bill.com. “This
award is especially gratifying to us because it recognizes Bill.com for what we
have been focused on from day one: harnessing the power of the cloud to make
