As finance teams consider strategies to stay competitive and increase their ROI, they’re exploring different ways to gain a foothold in their respective industries. One common theme across the board for teams looking to stay ahead of the curve? Finance automation. We’re excited to announce our new report, “Finance Automation: The Key to Finance-Led Growth” is live today. The report shows that finance automation platforms are becoming a necessity for finance teams looking to have an impact and differentiate themselves from the competition.
A new era of finance automation
While the term “finance automation” isn’t brand new, it has come to encompass a new wave of advancement in finance functions. Finance automation is the utilization of technology to replace manual tasks and processes. It eliminates tedious, time-consuming work, such as manually uploading receipts, in favor of meaningful, strategic projects that can actually move the needle. Companies equipped with powerful financial operations (FinOps) and finance automation are able to save time and money, and set themselves up for finance-led growth.

“Our previous bill pay process probably took a good 10 hours per AP batch. Now it just takes a couple of minutes between getting an invoice entered, approved, and processed.”
Jason Hershey
VP of Finance and Accounting, Hospital Association of Oregon
“When looking for a procure-to-pay solution we wanted to make everyone’s life easier. We wanted a one-click type of solution, and that’s what we’ve achieved with Ramp.”
Mandy Mobley
Finance Invoice & Expense Coordinator, Crossings Community Church
“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.”
Fahem Islam
Accounting Associate, Snapdocs
“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.”
Mike Rizzo
Accounting Manager, MakeStickers
“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.”
Greg Finn
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.”
Tyler Bliha
CEO, Abode
“Switching to Ramp for Bill Pay saved us not only time but also a significant amount of money. Our previous AP automation tool cost us around $40,000 per year, and it wasn’t even working properly. Ramp is far more functional, and we’re getting the benefits at a fraction of the cost.”
