Case Study: Virtu.Academy scales global music education and cuts payment processing time with Bill.com

Virtu.Academy scales music education globally with BILL

Virtu.Academy, an online music education platform connecting more than 10,000 students with 200 instructors worldwide, struggled to manage complex teacher payments with a lean four-person team. Manual payment processing took hours twice a month, international payments were delayed, and 1099 filing was time-consuming, creating a bottleneck that threatened growth. BILL helped Virtu.Academy streamline these finance operations with BILL Accounts Payable and international payment capabilities, including Local Transfer.

With BILL, Virtu.Academy cut payment processing time by 87% to about 30 minutes, saved 6–7 hours each month, eliminated international payment delays, and centralized 1099 filing in one platform. BILL also integrated with QuickBooks Online and gave the company a more professional payment experience, helping Virtu.Academy scale without adding finance staff while freeing the team to focus on growth.
