# Closing the Books Without the Spreadsheet Shuffle: My Fall Internship at Ramp

**[Ramp Engineering](https://daily.dev/sources/ramp_eng)** · 6 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A software engineering intern at Ramp describes three accounting automation projects built during a fall internship: an AI-powered amortization detection system that analyzes receipt data to suggest prepaid expense schedules, a native amortization engine that creates and syncs journal entries directly within Ramp (bypassing spreadsheet workarounds for ERPs like QuickBooks), and an automated mapping rules system that mines historical transaction data nightly to suggest or auto-create ERP field mappings. The post emphasizes measuring credibility through detection rates, false positives, and override rates, and highlights the importance of understanding actual accountant workflows before choosing technology.
