The founder and CEO of BILL had just announced a new step in his company\u2019s long relationship with NetSuite, one that will\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.netsuite.com\/portal\/company\/newsroom\/netsuite-and-bill-partner-to-accelerate-accounts-payable-processes.shtml\" rel=\"\">bring BILL\u2019s payments technology<\/a>\u00a0directly into the ERP software used by thousands of businesses. \u201cI\u2019ve learned to stay constructively dissatisfied,\u201d he said, describing a mindset that keeps him searching for better ways to serve small and midsize companies.<\/p>\n<p>A fourth-generation entrepreneur, Lacerte has spent nearly twenty years building BILL into a public fintech company that now moves about one percent of the U.S. GDP through its platform. His story is as much about leadership and authenticity as it is about technology.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Building BILL Through Partnership and Patience<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Lacerte says the partnership between BILL and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gritdaily.com\/netsuite-next-agentic-ai-partner-marketplace\/\" rel=\"\">NetSuite<\/a>\u00a0has grown into something more dynamic over time. BILL has relied on NetSuite as its internal financial system for years, using it to help manage operations as the company expanded into a large public enterprise listed on the NYSE. \u201cWhen you move one percent of the GDP, you need an ERP system that\u2019s robust and has the controls a public company requires,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>That shared history created trust between the two. It also set the stage for a new level of integration. The partnership now brings BILL\u2019s payment capabilities into NetSuite Intelligent Payment Automation, a feature that lets U.S. customers send and reconcile payments directly within the NetSuite platform. \u201cWe want to meet businesses where they are,\u201d Lacerte said. \u201cOur goal is to make it simple for our partners to include our capabilities inside their own systems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration reflects Lacerte\u2019s belief that growth happens through long relationships built on reliability and shared purpose. He says strong partnerships are the best way to remove barriers that slow down business. \u201cWhen you take friction out of the process,\u201d he said, \u201cpeople get time back to focus on what matters most to them.\u201d That belief in simplicity and trust carries through every part of his leadership, based in lessons that go back to his family\u2019s own entrepreneurial history.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>Fourth Generation Entrepreneur<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Most kids don\u2019t grow up surrounded by the rhythm of small business life, but Lacerte did. \u201cThe night I was born, my mom was sorting punch cards for the largest defense contractor in D.C.,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Lacerte comes from a long line of small business owners, including his great-grandfather. His parents each ran multiple companies, and conversation at home often turned to customers, employees, and the constant effort it took to keep things running. \u201cI saw what my parents and grandparents did,\u201d he said. \u201cThey worked all the time. They cared about their employees, their customers, and their family. They never got a break.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This uncommon personal history, closely tied to entrepreneurial life, strongly shapes how he runs his own company and how it serves hardworking founders. \u201cNobody really thinks about small businesses,\u201d he said. \u201cTheir business life is hard. They care deeply, but it takes a toll.\u201d Watching his family\u2019s commitment to their work gave him an ongoing appreciation for those who put everything they have into their business dreams.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a perspective that\u2019s woven into the fabric of BILL. He wants to give founders the tools to eliminate friction and reclaim time for the things that make them happy. \u201cI want to help them do a better job so they can actually get a break and go watch their kids play soccer,\u201d he said. \u201cIf we can automate the pain of the back office, they can focus on the work that gives them energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>Story First Branding and Authentic Leadership<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to Lacerte\u2019s presence at BILL, there\u2019s no separating his story from that of the company. \u201cWe\u2019ve leveraged the entrepreneurial journey, the accountant focus, and when we go to accounting conferences, I am known,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Lacerte name has been helping accountants since 1960.\u201d He views that familiarity as an advantage. \u201cIt\u2019s not a double edged sword. It\u2019s helpful. I love accountants. That energy goes both ways. They like to talk to me, and that helps us build better products.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Inside the company, Lacerte uses storytelling to keep employees connected. \u201cEvery company meeting, there\u2019s always a story,\u201d he said. \u201cI pick a song at every meeting. There\u2019s always a reason, and I explain it. I will answer any question.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Authenticity plays a big part in establishing a healthy culture. \u201cThere\u2019s no way to see me other than me,\u201d he said. \u201cOur employees see that, and I expect them to bring the same authenticity when they talk to each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is how any startup founder or business owner can win trust today. Customers buy from people they relate to. For Lacerte, authenticity isn\u2019t a branding exercise. It\u2019s how lasting relationships start, whether with accountants, employees, or the half million businesses that use BILL.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>Emotional Core and Legacy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Lacerte ended the conversation with a story that still moves him. Four years ago, on Thanksgiving, his brother got a call from someone who had worked for their late father decades earlier. The man simply said he wanted to say thank you. \u201cHe told my brother that our dad was never happier than when he worked for him,\u201d Lacerte said. \u201cI still get choked up thinking about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That message, he explained, captures what he wants employees to feel when they leave BILL at the end of the day. \u201cI hope everybody who works here can say they were happy when they worked at BILL,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen you can activate that, people do more for the company and for your customers than you could ever ask for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What Lacerte has built at BILL reflects a long view of progress that is steady, deliberate, and built to endure.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\"><em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">Thanks for reading!
