Government ERP consultant in Texas.

Senior, vendor-neutral ERP consultants for Texas cities, counties, school districts, and special districts — from a stalled go-live to a clean month-end close, a defensible platform selection, or steady managed support.

The Texas landscape

254 counties. Thousands of local governments.

Texas has more units of local government than almost any state — and each one carries its own finance, payroll, and reporting load. That's the environment senior, vendor-neutral ERP leadership is built for.

254
counties — more than any other state, each on its own ACFR
1,200+
incorporated cities, from major metros to small towns
1,000+
independent school districts running their own finance
2,900+
special districts — water, MUDs, and more
Why Texas is different

Texas doesn't run ERP like anywhere else.

A platform that works elsewhere still has to survive Texas rules — Truth-in-Taxation and the voter-approval tax rate, the Public Funds Investment Act, TMRS and TCDRS reporting, and cooperative purchasing. We build for them from day one because we've closed the books under them.

Truth-in-Taxation is a public, deadline-driven process

Texas ties your tax rate to notices, hearings, and the voter-approval rate under SB 2. When the ERP can't model the no-new-revenue and voter-approval rates, rate adoption becomes a fragile spreadsheet exercise every summer.

Your ACFR has to come out of the system

Texas cities and counties publish a GASB Annual Comprehensive Financial Report the auditors expect. If the fund structure doesn't map to it cleanly, close turns into a month of manual reconstruction.

TMRS, TCDRS, and TRS shape payroll

Texas payroll isn't just gross-to-net — it's retirement reporting to TMRS for cities, TCDRS for counties and districts, and TRS for schools, each with its own deposit rules. Configured wrong, payroll breaks at the first cycle.

Cooperative purchasing sets the pace

Local Government Code Chapter 252 competitive bidding and cooperative contracts like BuyBoard, TIPS, and DIR govern how you buy and configure a system. We keep the selection and the buy inside the rules that get reviewed.

What we do for Texas governments

The full ERP journey, led by people who've done the work.

Whether you're choosing a platform, leading a full ERP implementation, rescuing one that's slipping, or keeping a live system healthy with managed services and support, the same senior operators lead the engagement end to end — vendor-neutral, embedded with your team, and accountable to Texas's reporting.

01

ERP selection & RFP advisory

Vendor-neutral selection that turns how your Texas jurisdiction actually runs into a defensible platform choice — with an RFP that survives procurement review and a TCO your board can stand behind.

  • Requirements built around state reporting
  • RFPs aligned to state procurement law
  • 7–10 year total cost of ownership modeling
02

Implementation leadership

Senior program leadership for new finance, HCM, utility billing, and EAM deployments — on-time go-lives with the state's reporting configured from the start, not retrofitted after audit findings.

  • Chart of accounts mapped to state filings
  • Payroll built for the state retirement system
  • Engineered go-lives, scope held
03

Recovery & stabilization

The call Texas finance directors make when an implementation is slipping, close won't reconcile, or a new firm just left the project half-built. We stabilize the system and finish the work.

  • Stalled go-lives put back on a timeline
  • Reconciliation and close-cycle repair
  • Reporting back in compliance
04

Managed services & support

Ongoing, senior-led support that keeps a live ERP healthy through fiscal year-end and staff turnover — without the dependency model that keeps you paying for problems you didn't create.

  • Month-end and year-end close support
  • Enhancement, patching, and upgrade paths
  • Knowledge transfer, so you're never trapped
Built for Texas reporting

The compliance details a national vendor misses.

These are the requirements that decide whether your Texas ERP is a clean system of record or a source of annual pain. We design for each one before go-live — not in a corrective action plan afterward.

  1. 01

    GASB ACFR & transparency reporting

    Fund and account structure mapped so the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report and state transparency reporting come out of the system, not out of overtime.

  2. 02

    Truth-in-Taxation & the voter-approval rate

    No-new-revenue and voter-approval rate calculations, notices, and hearings supported in the budget module so rate adoption is defensible under SB 2.

  3. 03

    TMRS / TCDRS / TRS reporting

    Retirement contributions, deposits, and monthly reporting configured for the right system per entity type, so payroll and pension stay in agreement.

  4. 04

    Public Funds Investment Act

    Investment tracking and the quarterly PFIA reporting your investment officer signs — built into the ledger rather than kept on the side.

  5. 05

    Procurement & cooperative contracts

    Chapter 252 competitive bidding plus BuyBoard, TIPS, and DIR cooperative paths kept compliant through selection and contract.

  6. 06

    Utility billing & special districts

    Water, sewer, and MUD billing, meter integration, and rolls configured so exceptions and rebills stay the exception.

Outcomes

From an ERP that fights Texas to one built for it.

Before
  • The ACFR is rebuilt by hand every year
  • Tax-rate math lives in a fragile workbook

  • Audit findings surface reporting gaps late
After
  • The ACFR comes straight out of the system
  • No-new-revenue and voter-approval rates modeled
  • TMRS, TCDRS, and TRS reconcile every cycle
  • Your team owns the platform, not the vendor
  • Reporting is clean before the auditor arrives

FAQ

Government ERP in Texas, answered.

+Do you already work with Texas governments?
Yes — we lead ERP programs for cities across the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, including Richardson, Farmers Branch, and Little Elm, and our client roster spans the state. The operating model is the same everywhere: senior operators, vendor-neutral, embedded with your team, accountable to Texas reporting.
+Which ERP platforms do you support for Texas agencies?
We're hands-on with every major public-sector ERP platform and strictly vendor-neutral — no reseller, referral, or partnership with any vendor. We tell you which platform genuinely fits your jurisdiction's size, reporting, and procurement path.
+Can you make our ERP produce the ACFR and Truth-in-Taxation reporting?
Yes — it's one of the first things we design for. We map your fund structure so the ACFR comes out of the system, and we support the no-new-revenue and voter-approval rate process so rate adoption holds up under SB 2.
+Does your work stay within Texas procurement rules?
Yes. We scope selections and RFPs to hold up under Local Government Code Chapter 252, and help you use cooperative contracts like BuyBoard, TIPS, and DIR where that's the faster compliant path. We're not the vendor, so our advice on the buy is independent.
+We're mid-implementation and it's slipping. Can you step in?
That's one of the most common ways Texas finance directors first call us. We join a live project, stabilize the go-live, repair close and reconciliation, and get reporting back in compliance — whether the original firm is still on the project or already gone.
