Staff Accountant

Thank you for your interest in joining the National Ramp team! National Ramp is a market leader, innovator, and disruptor providing newfound freedom to elderly and disabled human beings with the greatest range of accessibility ramps in the industry. Our family has been in the access business for over 30 years, and the foundation of our growth and any success we’ve had is our core value to care about people.

National Ramp dealers have installed hundreds of thousands of ramps across North America, and it is truly rewarding to make a real and meaningful change in so many lives. We believe that making great ramps is only a part of our work. The greatest work we do is giving fellow humans their freedom back. When someone is literally trapped inside their home or stuck in a hospital, and we can provide a means for them to regain their Freedom Now – that is what brings us true joy and purpose.

At National Ramp, we work hard, we are accountable, and we are results driven. We recognize that these attributes may not be valued by everyone, and that’s OK!

• We Innovate and disrupt – We are growth-minded, for us and for our customers. We never stop learning. We adapt quickly and thrive on new challenges. We constantly seek ways to disrupt the status quo and improve.
• We Care – We care about people. About each other, about our customers, about our customers’ customers, about our families, and about the world. We are invested in National Ramp and behave like it’s our own business to help everyone win. We stay safe to ensure everyone goes home the way they came, every day.
