Case Study: Common Thread Collective cuts finance admin time with BILL Spend & Expense

Common Thread Collective cuts expense reconciliation from 15 hours to 2 with BILL

Common Thread Collective, an ecommerce growth agency, faced significant challenges managing expenses and vendor payments after transitioning to a fully remote operation. Their previous system of corporate cards and manual reimbursements created delays, lacked spend visibility, and consumed 10-15 hours monthly for reconciliation. Director of Finance Mitch Friesen sought a solution from vendor BILL to regain control and flexibility.

By implementing BILL Spend & Expense, Common Thread Collective gained real-time spend control, virtual cards, and seamless QuickBooks Online integration. The solution from BILL cut their monthly expense reconciliation time from 10-15 hours to just 2 hours, provided real-time budget flexibility, and allowed them to turn vendor disruptions into a seamless client benefit. The finance team was freed to focus on higher-value strategic work.
