Why teams connect Bill and Close

Sync customers, invoices, and payment status between Bill and Close in real time, so sales sees the money and finance sees the relationship.

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. Close knows the relationship: who the contacts are and what is in motion with the account. Bill knows the money: what was invoiced, what was paid, what is overdue. When the two are connected only by exports, each side works partly blind.

Stacksync links Customers, Payments, Chart of Accounts, Bank Accounts in Bill to Opportunities, Activities, Tasks, Custom Activities in Close with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, updated billing details, invoice status, and payment activity move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. The result is one version of each customer, visible from both sides.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Customers and Invoices from BILL AR into a CRM or ERP so sales and finance see billing and payment status on the account.
  • 02 Write Vendors created during ERP onboarding into BILL so new payees are ready to pay without manual re-entry.
  • 03 Two-way sync between Close and a billing or ERP system so closed-won opportunities create customers and invoices automatically.
  • 04 Keep Close contacts aligned with a marketing automation platform so outreach lists stay current.

Common sync patterns

Billing detail changes flow back

When a contact or address is corrected in Close, Bill gets the update before the next invoice goes out.

Collections with context

Finance sees the account owner and relationship history from Close when chasing a balance, and sales sees that the chase is happening.

Where Close tracks deals: closed-won creates the finance record

A won opportunity creates or updates the customer in Bill with the right billing details, so invoicing starts without re-keying.
