Why “Doing Finance” feels different with Ramp
As the song goes, “You can spend all your time makin’ money, or you can spend all your love makin’ time.”
With considerable due respect to The Eagles, we wondered…what if you didn’t have to choose between the two? What if you could save money and have more time to do what you love?
At Ramp, the answer to those questions is automation. By automating time-consuming busywork, we’ve flipped the script—from a way of doing finance that takes time and energy to a way of doing finance that gives it back.
We envision a future where finance teams are working smarter, making bigger bets, scaling faster, and staying focused on strategy. Ramp makes this possible with set-it-and-forget-it spend controls, streamlined workflows, increased accuracy, automated payments and expense reports, and efficiency baked in. Our goal is to improve your work and your life, not just your work life.
We took this philosophy to our agency partners at Fuzzco, and they helped us visualize what doing finance with Ramp feels like. Spoiler alert: There’s not a spreadsheet to be found.
We piloted the first phase of the campaign in Miami in the spring of 2022 to an enthusiastic response. In the spirit of making bigger bets and capitalizing on momentum, we built out a second phase of the campaign mid-summer.
Our hero, the finance leader, is front and center, doing life and Doing Finance right—now with some extra color and context.

We’d also love to hear how doing finance with Ramp has given you more time for your own juicy projects.

“Ramp had everything we were looking for, and even things we weren't looking for. The policy aspects, that's something I never even dreamed of that a purchasing card program could handle.”

“Switching from Brex to Ramp wasn’t just a platform swap—it was a strategic upgrade that aligned with our mission to be agile, efficient, and financially savvy.”

“With Ramp, everything lives in one place. You can click into a vendor and see every transaction, invoice, and contract. That didn’t exist in Zip. It’s made approvals much faster because decision-makers aren’t chasing down information—they have it all at their fingertips.”
Ryan Williams
Manager, Contract and Vendor Management, Advisor360°
“The ability to create flexible parameters, such as allowing bookings up to 25% above market rate, has been really good for us. Plus, having all the information within the same platform is really valuable.”

Assistant Controller, Sana Benefits
“More vendors are allowing for discounts now, because they’re seeing the quick payment. That started with Ramp—getting everyone paid on time. We’ll get a 1-2% discount for paying early. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but when you’re dealing with hundreds of millions of dollars, it does add up.”
James Hardy
CFO, SAM Construction Group
“We’ve simplified our workflows while improving accuracy, and we are faster in closing with the help of automation. We could not have achieved this without the solutions Ramp brought to the table.”

VP of Finance, Poshmark
“I was shocked at how easy it was to set up Ramp and get our end users to adopt it. Our prior procurement platform took six months to implement, and it was a lot of labor. Ramp was so easy it was almost scary.”
