Case Study: ORBA (Chicago accounting firm) streamlines large-scale grant disbursements to hundreds of small businesses with Bill.com

How Bill.com Made it Easy for One Company to Do Good

ORBA, a 150‑person Chicago full‑service accounting, tax, and consulting firm, helped a client facing an aggressive timeline to disburse grant funds to hundreds of small businesses. The client lacked the technical capacity to manage vendor setup, bank verification and high‑volume payments, so ORBA stepped in as the intermediary to coordinate the effort.

ORBA and Bill.com implemented a two‑step solution—bulk vendor imports with automated one‑cent bank verifications and bulk bill creation using templates and automated approval workflows. The approach delivered a transparent, repeatable process that enabled timely, low‑effort disbursements to hundreds of recipients and positioned ORBA and its client to handle future funding rounds efficiently.
