Bill.com Management Team

René Lacerte, CEO and Founder

René founded Bill.com in April 2006, bringing with him more than 18 years experience in the finance, software and payments industries. Built from a legacy of four generations of entrepreneurs, René developed the concept for Bill.com based on personal experience growing new businesses. He realized the tremendous need to simplify and automate the way businesses manage bills, invoices, payments, contracts and other important financial documents; and the challenge of not having control and intelligence into daily spending and cash flow. Bill.com solves these issues and also puts all valuable financial documents in one place for secure access anywhere/anytime.

Prior to Bill.com, René co-founded America's #1 online payroll service PayCycle, which employed over 100 people and served over 85,000 customers prior to being acquired by Intuit in July 2009. PayCycle has received multiple 5-star awards from PC Magazine and numerous accountant trade publications. Both at PayCycle and Intuit, René led the development of industry leading customer service organizations that provide an unparalleled customer experience.

René spent five years at Intuit, creating and managing the company's bill presentment team and growing its bill payment and credit card businesses 30% in one year. As the Group Product Manager for Intuit´s Employer Services Group, he was responsible for developing the strategy and then launching Intuit's connected payroll product in less than one year.
