Run budget vs. actuals review on autopilot inside Bill.com.

Bill.com Controller Mid-Market Controller

The Problem

Monthly Mid-Market Controller BvA review is a ritual: open 12 tabs in NetSuite, copy into Excel, highlight variances, guess at causes.

What We Build in Bill.com

AI builds the BvA view directly from NetSuite, traces each over-threshold variance to the GL line and transaction, and drafts commentary — the meeting starts at 'what do we do' not 'what happened.' Purpose-built for teams running Bill.com — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

Bill.com Integration Approach

Audit your Bill.com configuration

Integration happens inside Bill.com — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.

3

Human-in-the-loop handoff

Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Bill.com with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
