  • San Diego, CA (1888PressRelease) February 14, 2017 - Bill.com, the leading company creating magically simple business payments, has helped the firm reduce the time needed for bill pay each year by the equivalent of 9.6 work weeks. With the move to paperless bill pay with Bill.com, Armanino also saves its clients additional costs by eliminating supplies such as check stock, envelopes, printing cartridges and postage.

    "As a firm, we are focused on introducing technology to improve efficiencies for our clients. Bill.com has helped on both fronts. Before using Bill.com, Armanino's accountants spent an average time of 15 minutes per bill to complete the accounts payable process. The complete process included setting up vendors, processing the bills, printing and mailing the checks and responding to client and vendor questions. Using Bill.com, we reduced that time by an average of 30% or closer to 10 minutes per bill," said David Miller, CPA, director of Armanino's Outsourced Finance & Accounting department.

    Armanino found that, with Bill.com, the processing time for each bill decreased from 3.67 minutes per bill to 2.33 minutes or from 1,032 hours a year total based on an average of 1,400 bills a month to 648 hours per year - the equivalent of 9.6 work weeks.

    Armanino requires that all Outsourced Finance & Accounting services clients use Bill.com for business payments. The firm integrates Bill.com with QuickBooks Online, Xero and Intacct. The firm has also helped its clients to elevate internal controls around bill payments.

    "Rather than have one client's employee handle the bill pay process from beginning to end, Bill.com and its automated workflow enable a separation of duties. This additional level of security helps to protect companies from potential fraud," explained Miller. "Additionally, the bill pay process isn't paper-based, so checks no longer get lost on clients' desks or come back. We can get approval online and have a bill paid within minutes compared to days or weeks with paper-based bill pay."

    "Industry-leading accounting firms like Armanino create a valuable competitive edge by increasing AP efficiencies within their operations and for their clients. The question is no longer, 'Will we move to the cloud?' The question is now, 'How can we use the cloud to maximize benefits for the firm?'" said Tanya Roberts, vice president of corporate communications and accountant marketing. "With valuable integrations, document management and automated workflows, Bill.com simultaneously reduces time spent on bill payment while increasing transparency and collaboration."
