Why Squire makes Ramp part of every client conversation

Trusted by Squire’s team to streamline spend, speed up close, and support smarter decisions at every stage of growth.

Squire is a nationally recognized accounting and advisory firm helping clients scale with clarity, confidence, and the right technology. Based in Salt Lake City with a 230-person team distributed across the U.S., the firm delivers comprehensive financial, advisory, and technology services that help businesses thrive at every stage of growth. Their offerings span CFO-level strategic advisory, Client Accounting Services, tax planning and compliance, audit, state and local tax (SALT), tax credits and incentives, and hands-on ERP and system implementations and integrations. Squire supports clients ranging from high-growth startups to established mid-market companies, helping them build and scale finance operations, navigate complex compliance needs, and harness the power of modern accounting technology. Recognized as one of the nation’s top CPA firms, Squire combines deep expertise with a personalized, tech-forward approach that drives lasting value.

Working across industries like consumer products, manufacturing, technology, construction, and professional services, Squire blends traditional accounting with modern consulting. But their value goes far beyond technical setup. “We’re not just there to set up a system and wish our clients well,” says Lauren, a leader on the advisory team. “We take time to understand their business processes and tailor everything we do to our clients’ needs. Our approach is relationship-driven and built to scale with them.” That mindset has made Ramp a natural fit in Squire’s modern toolkit. What started as one of many solutions has now become a core recommendation. “Ramp has become one of our hook services,” Lauren explains. “We include it in every client conversation because we know it’s going to deliver a great experience.”

Ramp plays a critical role across Squire’s work, particularly when the team is leading ERP implementations or building custom finance workflows. According to Connor, a NetSuite ERP & Integrations Consultant at Squire, Ramp stands out from other platforms because of its reliability and user-first design. “Ramp’s ERP integrations are top-notch,” he says. “It’s easier to use, has better visibility, and we’ve gotten great feedback from clients.” With Ramp, the Squire team can tailor solutions to what clients need and automate the rest, whether it is custom fields, custom segments, or specific mapping structures.

‍

The impact of that flexibility is tangible. Connor recalls a client who resisted moving to Ramp, opting instead for a more rigid platform that wouldn’t integrate well with their ERP. “We ended up having to rebuild almost their entire NetSuite implementation from scratch,” he says. “If they had gone with Ramp, it would have taken just a few clicks to get everything working.” By contrast, when clients do choose Ramp, the onboarding is quick and intuitive. “I sat in on a Ramp implementation recently, and after just one call, the client had fully switched over and started issuing cards. It was incredibly fast and easy.” As Squire shared, most of their clients using Ramp begin seeing measurable impact within the first 30 days, and in many cases, within the first week, especially when replacing outdated manual processes.

‍

This streamlined setup process is particularly valuable for clients scaling through acquisition. One of Squire’s clients, backed by a group of investors, acquires new businesses nearly every month. “They’ve adopted Ramp across the board,” says Connor. “Our client can spin up a new instance and connect Ramp to NetSuite in minutes. It’s so intuitive that they do it themselves now, we only step in when needed.”

‍

As clients evaluate tools to modernize their financial operations, Squire often hears consistent themes. Clients are seeking automation, improved controls, and technology that makes their lives easier and saves them time without creating more systems to manage, which is why the partnership with Ramp is so successful. “Companies want better ways to handle accounts payable and reimbursements,” says Lauren. “Ramp addresses those needs quickly and cleanly, especially for multi-entity setups. That’s why it’s such an easy recommendation, it just works.”

‍

While time savings can vary by company size and complexity, on average, Squire clients are saving several hours per week per team member involved in spend management. For finance teams specifically, Squire has seen up to 10+ hours saved each week through automation of expense reporting, card issuance, and approvals. Ramp removes friction in daily workflows from reconciling receipts to tracking spend, which adds up to significant time regained across departments.

‍

Ramp’s continued innovation has only deepened that trust. Connor notes that when Ramp launched its batch bill pay feature, it immediately resolved a common client pain point. “It was a tipping point for some of our clients,” he says. “Once they saw that, they were all in.” Lauren also emphasized how Squire also appreciates how customizable Ramp’s approval workflows are, which helps meet operational and compliance needs for fast-moving teams.

“Operations teams love how intuitive Ramp is, and finance teams love the visibility. It’s rare to find a tool that fits so seamlessly into both sides of the organization.”

The user experience is another consistent highlight. “Clients appreciate that Ramp brings credit cards, reimbursements, and AP into one platform,” says Garrett Dyches, a senior manager on the Squire team. “It’s more real-time, cleaner, and easier to manage. And finance teams get the benefit of faster closes and more visibility.” Whether through automated savings insights, reduced manual overhead, or real-time visibility into spend, Squire shared how the Ramp platform delivers both hard cost savings and operational efficiency. In some cases, their clients have reported tens of thousands in annual savings, alongside major productivity gains. The combination of financial control and workflow automation makes the ROI both quantifiable and compelling. Lauren summarized it best with, “Ramp pays for itself — fast.”

But Squire’s praise for Ramp doesn’t stop at the product. The firm values the relationship they’ve built with Ramp’s partner team, calling out both responsiveness and a shared commitment to client success. “Blake has been phenomenal,” says Lauren. “He’s responsive, proactive, and makes sure we have what we need to support our clients. You can tell Ramp really cares about their partners.” That sentiment is echoed across the firm. “I work with a lot of people at Ramp, and honestly, they all feel like my best friends,” Connor jokes. “The support is fast, helpful, and always there when we need it, even during live calls with clients.” That level of access has given Squire the confidence to recommend Ramp broadly, knowing the experience will be consistent from day one.

‍

Ultimately, Squire’s commitment to building long-term partnerships with both their clients and the technology they implement is what sets them apart. “We’re always listening to what our clients need,” Lauren says. “And because Ramp continues to deliver on product, support, and innovation, we’re proud to make it part of the strategy we build for every business we serve.”
