Acumatica, a cloud ERP provider, and BILL, an intelligent finance platform, have announced a strategic partnership to embed BILL’s Accounts Payable (AP) automation directly into Acumatica Cloud ERP, providing U.
S. customers with a unified solution for managing and paying bills.
The collaboration aims to address a critical challenge for growing businesses: optimizing finances and managing cash flow. Six in ten finance leaders prioritize cash flow management for 2025. By combining Acumatica’s cloud ERP with BILL’s AP automation and payments innovation, businesses gain a single platform to manage bills, streamline payments, and optimize cash flow, with flexible payment options.
John Case, CEO of Acumatica, stated, “AP automation is vital to growing businesses, and we’re thrilled to partner with BILL, a trusted innovator in financial operations, to deliver this capability. Together, we’re giving businesses an easier path to modernize their operations, improve accuracy, and free up valuable time for more strategic work.”
The new BILL-powered payment automation solution is now available across all Acumatica Industry Editions, released as part of the 2025 R2 product update. Through BILL’s AP capabilities and its network of over eight million businesses, U.
S. customers can connect with vendors and execute fast, easy, and secure payments. This partnership is designed to benefit businesses and finance leaders seeking to reduce manual processes, improve cash flow visibility, and strengthen financial control across various sectors, including construction, manufacturing, retail, and professional services.
René Lacerte, CEO and founder of BILL, commented on the development: “Embedded finance is expanding how businesses experience the future of financial operations. This partnership drives further momentum in our embedded strategy, bringing BILL’s powerful AP automation and payments capabilities directly into Acumatica’s ERP platform and empowering thousands more businesses to thrive. With nearly half a million customers, more than 9,000 accounting firms, and an extensive network, BILL is delivering intelligent financial operations that meet businesses where they work, and in the platforms they trust.”
This embedded AP offering within Acumatica Cloud ERP complements Acumatica Payments, the company’s existing integrated feature for Accounts Receivable (AR) transactions. Together, these solutions enhance Acumatica’s financial capabilities, addressing the real-world needs of businesses.
