Financial operations platform Ramp on Thursday launched Accounting Agent, a specialized AI agent that automates the manual parts of bookkeeping and month-end close.
Accounting Agent uses artificial intelligence to review and auto-code transactions the moment they happen, surfacing only those that need human attention.
“Despite years of ‘automation,’ only 2% of teams say AI or advanced automation is their primary way of coding and posting transactions. Most accounting systems still depend on manual rules, confirmation clicks, and time-consuming, line-by-line review. These limitations leave transactions sitting unreviewed until month end, increase the risk of errors, and cause significant burnout among accountants—all of which are exacerbated by a shortage of skilled accounting professionals,” Ramp said in a Feb. 12 media release. “Ramp’s Accounting Agent replaces this manual work with AI and automation.”

The company said Accounting Agent is trained on millions of transactions, is tailored to each business’ individual coding behaviors, and learns from feedback and corrections. The agent then determines how to code each item, identifies whether it’s ready for ERP sync, and flags every time a human should review. This means finance teams deliver clean books three times faster on average each month, saving 40-plus hours per month due to less manual review and transaction coding, according to Ramp.
“Rule-based automation didn’t eliminate manual accounting—it just made it slightly faster to click ‘agree.’ We built Accounting Agent to remove that layer entirely,” Geoff Charles, chief product officer at Ramp, said in a statement. “It auto-codes spend, reviews activity in real time, and automates close tasks. Companies are saving dozens of hours a month so they can focus on strategy and results, not spreadsheets.”
Accounting Agent automates the most painful parts of the accounting workflow, Ramp says, including:
- AI coding: Ramp instantly auto-codes every transaction and bill across every field, including general ledger, department, class, location, and even custom fields, and codes invoices at the item-level. Ramp learns automatically and improves based on how a customer codes and syncs expenses.
- Smart review: Ramp reviews policy adherence as well as accuracy and completeness of accounting fields for 100% of spend in the background. It gives every transaction—across cards and bills—a suggested action (i.e., review GL account, mark ready to sync) so teams know what to fix and what to approve.
- Real-time sync: Routine, low-risk spend is approved and synced to an accounting system automatically with full audit logs according to each finance team’s guidelines and controls.
- Accruals and reconciliation: Ramp creates and posts accruals automatically at month end and schedules a reversal for the following month. It also reconciles activity directly against supported ERPs, surfacing mismatches without exports or spreadsheets.
The agent is an extension of Ramp’s agents for controllers and accounts payable and is available to Ramp Plus customers today.
