Billhighway.com invests $5.7 million in Oakland County facility
Billhighway.com is a Web-based finance and accounting software provider. President and CEO Vincent Thomas says the Troy-based company hasn’t decided exactly where the new facility will be located, but he wants to stay in Oakland County. “Part of the process including assessing other cities we thought would allow our business to grow,” Thomas says. Those cities included Washington, D.C. and Dallas. “We’re really focused on finding good technical talent.” Though good talent is hard to find, Thomas acknowledges that Michigan’s universities give him access to qualified future employees. “I think the schools have great programs,” Thomas says. “That’s one thing Michigan has going for it.” The company is expected to create 43 jobs over the next five years. “We’re trying to change the culture by creating jobs in Michigan,” he says. The state approved a tax credit valued at $1.1 million over 10 years and Oakland County will provide $25,000 in job training funds to support the project.
