Since her show “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo” began streaming on Netflix at the beginning of the year, the master declutterer’s methods have been sweeping the nation. Everyone seems to have a newfound interest in organization. Hardly a day goes by when you don’t hear someone question whether things in their life “spark joy.” But while Kondo’s decluttering principles thrive at home, very few have channeled decluttering efforts toward their work lives.
Chances are, things like writing out checks and piles of contracts, invoices, and other paperwork don’t spark joy in your life.
Thankfully, Bill.com is here to change all that. Think of it as the Marie Kondo of your back office life.
