billingexampleorg

Billingexampleorg is a nonprofit organization focused on providing transparent billing solutions for small and mid-sized businesses in North America. Founded in 2015 by a group of former accounting software developers, the organization’s mission is to reduce billing errors and improve payment collection rates through the use of open-source tools and best‑practice guidelines. Its headquarters are located in Burlington, Vermont, and it operates a volunteer network of over 300 members who contribute to software development, user support, and research.

The core product suite of billingexampleorg includes a cloud‑based invoicing platform, an API for integrating with popular e‑commerce systems, and a set of educational resources on ethical billing practices. The platform is free for non‑profit and community‑based organizations and operates under a dual‑licensing model for commercial users. In 2020 the organization launched the Billing Transparency Initiative, a report series that benchmarks billing practices across industries and highlights areas where businesses can reduce disputes and late payments. The Initiative has been cited by academic journals and industry trade publications as a definitive resource for financial process improvement.

Billingexampleorg is governed by a board of directors elected for two‑year terms. It is funded through donations, a small percentage of subscription fees for commercial users, and grant awards from the National Science Foundation for its open‑source contributions. The organization collaborates with several state regulators to create guidelines on digital invoicing and has been involved in policy discussions regarding consumer protection in electronic billing.
