Written by William Murphy | Oct 23, 2025 4:30:00 AM

Acumatica, the world’s fastest-growing cloud ERP company, and BILL, the intelligent finance platform trusted by half a million businesses to manage, move, and maximize their money, have announced a strategic partnership to embed BILL’s industry-leading Accounts Payable (AP) automation directly into Acumatica Cloud ERP. 

Accounts Payable Automation, powered by BILL, gives U.S. Acumatica customers a one-stop solution to manage and pay bills quickly and easily without leaving their ERP.

Streamlining and optimizing finances is a top challenge for growing businesses today, with six in ten finance leaders indicating that managing cash flow is a top priority in 2025. By combining Acumatica’s fastest-growing cloud ERP with BILL’s innovation in payments and AP automation, this partnership gives businesses a single, embedded solution to manage bills, streamline payments, and optimize cash flow—with the flexibility to pay how and when they need to—all in one place.

“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,” said John Case, CEO of Acumatica. “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 as part of the recently released 2025 R2 product update. By tapping into BILL’s industry-leading AP capabilities and extensive network of more than eight million businesses, U.S. customers can connect seamlessly with vendors and make fast, easy, and secure payments. This partnership is particularly impactful for businesses and finance leaders looking to reduce manual processes, improve cash flow visibility, and strengthen financial control across industries–from construction and manufacturing to retail and professional services.

“Embedded finance is expanding how businesses experience the future of financial operations,” said René Lacerte, CEO and founder of BILL. “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. And this is just the beginning — 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.”

BILL’s embedded AP offering in Acumatica Cloud ERP complements Acumatica Payments, the company’s existing integrated payment processing feature that simplifies Accounts Receivable (AR) transactions, enabling safe, secure, and compliant payments. Together, these solutions strengthen Acumatica’s commitment to delivering comprehensive financial capabilities that address the real-world needs of businesses across industries.
