Celebrating excellence: introducing Ramp's first-ever accounting partner awards
March 2025 update: Celebrate our 2025 winners here.
At Ramp, we know that the strength of our partnerships drives the success of the businesses we serve. Our accounting partners are more than collaborators—they are champions of innovation, trusted advisors, and steadfast advocates for their clients’ growth. To recognize their remarkable contributions and celebrate their impact, we are thrilled to launch the Ramp Accounting Partner Awards, our first-ever program dedicated to honoring the exceptional work of our accounting partners.
This exclusive award is our way of saying thank you to the firms that inspire us every day with their dedication to their clients and their commitment to building better financial systems. Together, we’ve seen firsthand how the power of partnership can drive transformation, and we’re excited to shine a spotlight on the firms that truly exemplify excellence.
Award categories
Our awards celebrate achievements at the organizational level, focusing on values that matter most to our community: collaboration, client-centricity, and growth.
Two awards are open for peer nominations:
- Collaboration Catalyst of the Year: Honoring an accounting firm who leads with collaboration, creating open channels of communication with their teams, clients, and technology partners—including Ramp.
- Client Impact of the Year: Recognizing an accounting firm that advocates relentlessly for their clients, delivering meaningful results.
Ramp will also nominate two additional awards:
- Partner of the Year: Celebrating the accounting firm with the largest number of active Ramp clients from January 2024-2025, showcasing their influence and impact.
- Rising Star of the Year: Highlighting a new accounting firm who has enthusiastically embraced the partnership, driving exceptional results in a short amount of time.
Winning firms will be recognized for their accomplishments and foster deeper collaboration with Ramp:
- A fully covered trip for up to two representatives to an exclusive executive event at Ramp HQ in March, including airfare, accommodations, and meals.
- Customized marketing assets, including digital and printed certificates, exclusive swag, and features in a dedicated blog post.
- An invitation to join Ramp’s product beta group and gain early access to an exciting new release.
How to participate
Award submissions are open until January 30th, 2025. Winners will be announced in early February 2025. To be eligible, nominees must be part of Ramp’s accounting partner program.
You can nominate your own firm or a peer in the industry who exemplifies the values and achievements celebrated by these awards. Whether you’re a longtime partner or a rising star, this is your chance to showcase accomplishments, share impactful stories, and gain recognition for championing your clients and building better financial systems.

“We no longer have to comb through expense records for the whole month — having everything in one spot has been really convenient. Ramp's made things more streamlined and easy for us to stay on top of. It's been a night and day difference.”

“It's great to be able to park our operating cash in the Ramp Business Account where it earns an actual return and then also pay the bills from that account to maximize float.”

“The practice managers love Ramp, it allows them to keep some agency for paying practice expenses. They like that they can instantaneously attach receipts at the time of transaction, and that they can text back-and-forth with the automated system. We've gotten a lot of good feedback from users.”

Director of FP&A, Align ENTA
“The reason I've been such a super fan of Ramp is the product velocity. Not only is it incredibly beneficial to the user, it’s also something that gives me confidence in your ability to continue to pull away from other products.”
