Introducing our Expense Management Integration with Ramp

Nonprofits face unique challenges when it comes to managing expenses. Every dollar has a mission behind it, and keeping accurate, fund-based records is critical for both compliance and impact reporting. Yet many organizations still spend hours each month manually entering expenses, re-categorizing transactions, and reconciling accounts.

That’s why we’re excited to announce the new Ramp + Aplos integration, which is designed to save your team time and help you manage expenses with confidence.

Why We Partnered with Ramp

Ramp is a financial operations platform designed to save companies time and money. Over 40,000 organizations use Ramp to streamline spend management, saving over $10 billion and 27.5 million hours since its founding in 2019.

We know nonprofits share Ramp's mission to maximize the impact of every dollar and every hour spent.

“By partnering with Ramp, Aplos brings modern expense management tools into the nonprofit accounting workflow, aligning Ramp’s efficiency with Aplos’ purpose-built fund accounting,” says Marcus Alley, Head of Product and Data at Aplos.

What the Integration Does

The Ramp + Aplos integration focuses on syncing approved expense transactions directly into Aplos.

Expenses can be tagged to specific funds or programs, ensuring compliance with nonprofit accounting standards. Here are the benefits of integrating Ramp and Aplos:

• Seamless and compliant categorization. Aplos’ chart of accounts, funds, and tags appear in Ramp, so your expense transactions are categorized correctly before they sync.
• Simplified expense management. Ramp becomes the “source of truth” for expense categorization, ensuring consistency and reducing reconciliation errors.

• Guaranteed time savings. Eliminate manual expense entry and free up staff for higher-value tasks.

Why Expense Management Matters

For nonprofits, managing expenses is all about accountability. Donors, boards, and regulators expect clear, transparent records that show how every dollar is spent.

Effective expense management ensures:

• Expenses are allocated to the correct funds and programs.
• Financial statements reflect accurate, up-to-date data.
• You and your team can make informed decisions about budgets and resources.

By automating expense syncing between Ramp and Aplos, nonprofits can stay compliant with fund accounting standards while gaining more time to focus on serving their communities.
