Expense Report Processing for Controllers with Bill.com
Run expense report processing on autopilot inside Bill.com.
The Problem
Employee expense reports arrive with missing receipts, wrong GL codes, and policy violations — and every rejection adds days to reimbursement and resentment to the Mid-Market Controller team.
What We Build in Bill.com
AI validates receipts against policy, auto-codes expenses, flags out-of-policy items with a clear reason, and routes approvals — expense report cycle time drops from 9 days to same-day. Purpose-built for teams running Bill.com — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

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.
Frequently asked
