BILL (NYSE: BILL), the intelligent finance platform trusted by nearly half a million businesses to manage, move, and maximize their money has been named a 2026 Inc. Power Partner Awards winner. This is the fourth consecutive year BILL has received the recognition.

The annual Inc. Power Partner Awards honor B2B companies that have demonstrated a track record of helping entrepreneurs and businesses navigate the challenges of building and growing a company. From hiring and compliance to technology, infrastructure, fundraising, marketing, and more, these partners provide expertise and services that enable businesses to operate, scale, and pursue their ambitions.

“Technology is only valuable if it takes work off your plate without taking control out of your hands. That’s the standard we apply to everything we ship, from stopping fraud before money moves to automating routine payments safely,” said Jonathan Leaf, Chief Revenue Officer. “The SMBs and accounting firms we serve tell us that this discipline is what makes BILL a partner they can rely on, and we’re grateful Inc. has recognized it for a fourth year in a row.”

“Business owners have no shortage of tools at their disposal, and B2B companies need to make clear why their products and services are worth the investment,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “The companies on this year’s Power Partners list have done just that. They don’t just have customers – they have superfans and evangelists. Across industries like marketing, financial services, and technology, they’ve proved their dedication to helping fellow business owners grow and succeed.”

A track record of innovations built for SMBs

BILL was recognized for its latest AI capabilities for SMBs, business momentum milestones, and agentic commerce innovations with Visa and Billtrust.

  • AI for control and confidence: BILL’s new AI features launched this week help finance teams catch mistakes and unusual payments before money moves, spend less time on manual setup and document sorting, and get answers about financial operations in plain language in the AI tools they already use. A new control hub shows what AI has done, and lets teams switch AI tools on or off.

  • Confidence built on scale: BILL recently surpassed $2 trillion in cumulative total payment volume, and in the first six months of 2026, its AI-powered platform stopped 9.64 million fraudulent attempts, saving customers $925 million in potential losses.

  • Agentic commerce for supplier payments: In partnership with Visa and Billtrust, BILL launched the first live pilot that enables trusted AI agents to securely complete approved invoice payments through supplier portals, without shared logins.

What BILL customers are saying

Businesses across industries use BILL to save time and money, and stay in control of their finances as they grow.

BrüMate

“I have real-time access to spend across departments, individuals. Direct access to receipts. The visibility with BILL Spend & Expense gives me, as CFO of the business, confidence in where our money is being spent,” said Jarrod Cox, CFO of BrüMate, a Denver-based premium drinkware and cooler brand.

Tower 28 Beauty

“We’ve found that BILL allows us to have both oversight and comfort, but with a lot of flexibility and real time updates as transactions come up,” said Victor Liu, CFO of Tower 28 Beauty, a clean beauty brand sold in Sephora stores across the U.S. and Canada.

Bombas

“In BILL Accounts Payable, I can just check all the boxes next to the vendors an approver is responsible for. I thought that was just so smooth and so seamless compared to what I had experienced with other AP systems,” said Melissa Harris, Director of Accounting Operations at Bombas, the comfort apparel brand.
