Rene Lacerte
A fourth-generation entrepreneur, Rene founded Bill.com in April 2006 to transform how businesses pay and get paid. His goal was to eliminate paper from the entire payment process while automating the mundane, tiresome financial processes and transactions that have plagued and distracted accountants, finance leaders and CEOs for decades. Today, Bill.com is the nation’s leading business payments network, enabling over 1,000,000 users to pay and get paid millions of bills, worth tens of billions of dollars.
Using technology to make life simpler has always been encoded in Rene’s DNA. Prior to Bill.com, he co-founded America's #1 online payroll service, PayCycle, which was acquired by Intuit in 2009. Before PayCycle, Rene spent five years at Intuit, leading a variety of fast growth small business services.
A frequent industry speaker, blogger and guest columnist, Rene was recently honored as one of Accounting Today’s Top 100 Most Influential People.
