Partnering with accounting firms to save clients time and money

Here at Ramp, we share the same goals as accounting service providers of helping businesses reach their potential. We’re building product innovations and partner programs to push accounting forward to present time. That’s why we’re launching Ramp for Accounting Firms.

Ramp already helps over 10,000 businesses control spend, save time, and automate busywork. Many of them rely on accounting firms for their day-to-day bookkeeping. These firms see value in the tools we're building, with the number of businesses on Ramp referred through accounting partners growing 6x in the last year alone. Now, with Ramp for Accounting Firms, we’re announcing new product experiences, services and dedicated programs specifically designed to help accounting firms save their clients money and increase operational efficiency.

“Most CPA firms tend to think about value from the client or the business side, but Ramp has provided critical operational value that has made our life infinitely easier” - Scott Orn, COO, Kruze

In a time where accounting firms are eager to introduce more technology for their clients as well as within their own practices, finding the right long-term partner to support and innovate alongside them is vital to long-term growth.

Products purpose-built for accounting firms

Accounting firms are powering small businesses nationwide. Servicing these businesses in a more impactful way requires a modern platform that empowers advisory, streamlines accountant workflows, and improves the end-client experience. At Ramp, we’re developing innovative tools designed to improve the accounting experience and support successful advisory services, which include:

• New Advisor Console:Ramp’s brand new Advisor Console is an intuitive and secure solution for managing all of your Ramp clients in one place. Now you can easily manage staff roles and permissions as you assign clients across your team. Security is key for the Advisor Console, and each user will have their own unique Unified Login, which makes auditing and revoking staff access a smooth experience. If you're interested in getting early access to the Advisor Console, sign up here.

• Powerful Ramp platform: Ramp already provides 5-in-1 software that offers corporate cards, accounts payable, expense management, reporting, and accounting in one centralized platform By giving you access to a variety of payment methods, you can help clients better manage their cash flow. We even offer payment extension for invoices so you can strategically manage client assets while ensuring vendors are paid on time. And all of your payments and vendor details sync to your accounting system/ERP automatically, eliminating manual or duplicative work.

• Seamless accounting automations: We've continued to expand the features for our integrations to NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, and Xero to make the closing process easier. You can amortize your bills, report on sales tax, and sync transactions in multiple currencies (all on NetSuite), as well as connect multiple entities (Sage/NetSuite) with Ramp.
