The best operators have a relentless focus on leverage, finding ways to multiply their impact rather than just working harder.

But here's what I see happening in finance teams everywhere.

Brilliant people getting buried in expense management busywork.

If you think about it, you become a finance leader because you love strategic work.

modeling scenarios, optimizing capital allocation, finding the insights that actually move the business forward.

But instead, you're chasing receipts and categorizing transactions.

It's the opposite of leverage.

This is exactly why I'm so bullish on what the team at Ramp has built.

Kareem and Eric understood that every minute spent on manual expense management is a minute stolen from high leverage work.

So they automated all of it.

Automatic categorization, receipt matching, spending controls that actually work.
