BILL Stock Overview

Bill.com Holdings Inc provides cloud-based software that digitizes and automates back-office financial operations for small and midsized businesses around the world.

The company’s roughly 110,000 worldwide customers use the Bill.com platform to manage end-to-end financial workflows and process payments. (Source: “Investor Presentation: February 2021,” Bill.com Holdings Inc, last accessed April 19, 2021.)

Through its platform dashboard, users can view their cash inflows and outflows, as well as their bills coming due. The company offers various services, including automated clearing house payments, accounts payable, accounts receivable, card payments, checks, and cross-border payments.

In a nutshell, the Palo Alto, CA-based company brings businesses into the digital age, which helps streamline payment operations and eliminate paperwork.

Bill.com Holdings Inc might target small and mid-size businesses, but its clients come in every size. Over 80% of the top 100 U.S. accounting firms use Bill.com. The company has also partnered with some of the largest U.S. financial institutions, including Wells Fargo & Co (NYSE:WFC), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), and Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC).

The company’s customer base has been growing fast, up 27% year-over-year.

Bill.com’s potential market is massive. There are 20 million small and mid-sized businesses in the U.S., and a whopping 90% of them still use paper checks and rely on other manual processes.
