"Billtrust helps enterprises with a critical part of running their business: how they get paid. Their market-leading Quantum solution meets the needs of CFOs for a strategic, end-to-end solution that drives cash flow and cost savings through automation and improved efficiency," said Francisco Alvarez-Demalde, founding partner at Riverwood Capital Management. "We are excited to partner with Billtrust's entire team in creating an enduring leader in the B2B payment cycle management sector. We see a clear long term secular shift towards process automation software as a strong tailwind for Billtrust to continue delivering on its mission of improving outcomes for AR departments."

With this funding, Mr. Alvarez-Demalde will join the Billtrust board of directors.

Financial Technology Partners LP and FTP Securities LLC (together "FT Partners") served as exclusive strategic and financial advisor to Billtrust on this transaction.
