Case Study: Chattanooga Christian School achieves 25% faster AP processing with Bill.com

Chattanooga Christian School cuts time spent on AP by 25%

Chattanooga Christian School, one of the largest schools in Tennessee, was spending too much time on accounts payable because its processes were largely manual. The finance team used Concur, AvidXchange, and Microsoft Dynamics, but invoice uploads, check posting, and reimbursements all had to be handled by hand, limiting efficiency and making it harder to keep up with growing campus expansion projects. BILL Accounts Payable and BILL Spend & Expense were used to streamline these workflows.

With BILL, Chattanooga Christian School moved approvals to an online portal, automated payments and reimbursements, and synced transactions in real time with Sage Intacct. BILL also improved cash-flow visibility and sped up spend coding and receipt capture for staff. The result was a 25% reduction in AP time, fewer manual tasks, better real-time financial data, and enough efficiency to eliminate a full-time position, freeing more resources for the school’s mission.
