    The company was able to process 8.2 million transactions for customers in the fourth quarter, which was a boost of 46 percent year over year, according to a Thursday (Aug. 26) announcement.

    The full fiscal year saw a processing of 29.2 million transactions, which was a 22 percent boost.

    “Our strategic initiatives drove strong adoption of our platform and set us up well for future opportunities,” said René Lacerte, Bill.com CEO and founder. “We expanded our e-payment offerings to make it easy for businesses to get paid faster, extended our reach with new strategic partners, and entered the spend management space with our acquisition of Divvy.”

    The company, he said, is building “one-stop shop platform” for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) “to manage all their financial operations and B2B spend.”

    Meanwhile, the company also acquired Divvy, a company working in spend management for small businesses. PYMNTS writes that the purchase will go for $2.5 billion.
