Case Study: National Society of Black Engineers achieves 25% faster accounts payable processing with Bill.com

National Society of Black Engineers Improves Bill Payment Efficiency 25% with Bill.com

The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) is a student-run organization with 31,000 members, 300 chapters and an international presence, focused on recruiting and retaining Black engineers. NSBE’s student-run finance operation was burdened by paper invoices and checks, manual approval workflows, and frequent status inquiries that strained the small accounting team.

Controller Torria White implemented Bill.com, cutting accounts payable processing time by 25% and processing 400 payments in a single month. The Bill.com setup integrated easily with Great Plains via CSV, eliminated paper checks, provided online payment status and collaborative invoice notes, and enabled mobile approvals—delivering immediate efficiency gains and anticipated further savings as AR and document storage are adopted.
