Bill.com + Go Fig
Connect Bill.com (BILL) to Go Fig so AP, AR, approvals, and payment status flow into the Excel package your finance team already uses, reconciled and standardized across every portfolio company.
Bill.com (BILL) runs AP and AR for a huge share of mid-market and PE-backed companies, but the answers a fund controller or portfolio finance lead actually needs (committed but unpaid spend, AP aging by vendor and entity, approval bottlenecks, DPO and DSO trends across the portfolio) live behind the Bill.com UI and have to be exported, re-keyed, and pivoted by hand. Go Fig does not replace Bill.com. It connects to the Bill.com developer API, syncs the bills, invoices, vendors, customers, approvals, and payment events, reconciles them against the GL, and loads fresh, standardized, traceable data into the Excel your team already works in, automatically, every day. Celeste, Go Fig's AI analyst, can then answer questions like 'which entities are sitting on the most unapproved AP' with a full audit trail back to the originating bill. Your financial data stays in your environment. It is never pasted into a public chatbot and never used to train an outside model. Celeste works only on your data, with a complete audit trail.

What you can do with Bill.com data in Go Fig
Committed spend and AP aging by entity
Open and approved bills rolled into 0-30 / 31-60 / 61-90 / 90+ buckets by vendor and by entity, reconciled against the AP balance in your GL. Each portfolio company's payables tie to the consolidated package without a manual export every close.
Approval bottleneck and spend management visibility
See where bills sit in the approval chain, which approvers are the holdup, and how committed spend compares to budget across the portfolio. Spend management questions get answered against live data instead of a screenshot from last week.
AR collections and DSO across the portfolio
Outstanding invoices and payment status pulled from Bill.com AR, aged by customer and entity, so the collections list and the controller's DSO trend are the same number across every portfolio company.
Data available from Bill.com
Go Fig extracts and normalizes the following data from your Bill.com account:
How to connect Bill.com
Provision a Bill.com API user
Create a dedicated organization-level API user in Bill.com with read access to the AP, AR, and vendor data you want exposed. Keep it separate from your human operators so token rotation and audit trails stay clean. For PE groups, provision one API user per BILL organization so entity-level isolation is preserved.
Connect each entity's BILL organization
Each portfolio company typically runs its own Bill.com organization. Connect them one at a time in Go Fig. The source organization is preserved as a column so you can report by entity, consolidate across the portfolio, or eliminate intercompany with a flow.
Pick the historical window
Bill.com exposes update timestamps on bills, invoices, and payments, so Go Fig backfills history once and then syncs deltas incrementally. Two to five years of AP and AR history is typical for portfolio companies rebuilding aging and DPO trends.
Wire up the standardized AP and AR package
Celeste ships starter flows for AP aging, committed spend versus budget, approval status, and AR collections. Point them at your Bill.com connections and the standardized package lands in Excel on day one, with drill-down back to the originating bill, invoice, and payment.
Authentication: Bill.com offers a developer API that authenticates a dedicated organization-level API user against your BILL organization. Go Fig connects with a service account scoped to read access, exchanges credentials for a session, and re-authenticates automatically when the session expires. Each BILL organization (entity) is connected separately, which keeps entity-level isolation clean for portfolio roll-ups.
Common Questions About Bill.com Integration
Does Go Fig replace Bill.com?
No. Your team keeps approving and paying bills in Bill.com exactly as they do today. Go Fig connects to the Bill.com API, reconciles AP and AR against the GL, and loads fresh, standardized data into the Excel your finance team already uses, automatically, every day. Bill.com stays the system of record. Go Fig makes its data consolidate and tie out across the portfolio.
How does Go Fig consolidate Bill.com across multiple entities?
Each portfolio company's BILL organization is connected separately, and the source organization is preserved as a column on every row. You can report payables by entity, consolidate the whole portfolio by mapped chart of accounts, or eliminate intercompany AP and AR with a flow. PE groups with many entities typically build a mapping table in Go Fig that translates each entity's native accounts into one standardized reporting structure, so the roll-up finally ties.
Can Go Fig reconcile Bill.com AP to the general ledger?
Yes. Go Fig joins open and approved bills against the AP balance in your GL and surfaces variances by vendor and entity. A typical reconciliation surfaces miscoded bills, payments posted to the wrong period, and approved invoices that never made it into the ledger, all with a trace back to the originating Bill.com record.
Is our financial data safe and private?
Yes. Your Bill.com data stays inside your Go Fig environment. It is never pasted into a public chatbot and never used to train an outside model. Celeste, Go Fig's AI analyst, works only on your data and leaves a full audit trail for every answer, so you can see exactly which bills and invoices a number came from.
How fresh is the Bill.com data inside Go Fig?
Daily incremental sync is the default, keyed on the update timestamps Bill.com exposes for bills, invoices, and payments. Portfolio companies running active payment cycles can dial sync more frequently for AP and AR if the on-call analyst needs near-real-time visibility. A full reindex runs on a regular schedule so nothing drifts.
