Bill.com balance is a new way to pay! This article will help you set up balance to sync with your accounting software.

Note: Currently, balance syncs with QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Oracle NetSuite, and Sage Intacct. We’ll add more accounting software types in the future. If you use different accounting software, you’ll need to enter balance transactions manually there.
