Arizona · Public-sector ERP

Government ERP consultant in Arizona.

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

Senior public-sector ERP operators — trusted by cities, counties, school districts, and special districts across the country.

The Arizona landscape

15 counties, expenditure limits on every one.

Arizona layers a constitutional expenditure limitation on top of ordinary financial reporting, all under the Auditor General. That's exactly the environment senior, vendor-neutral ERP leadership is built for.

Why Arizona is different

Arizona doesn't run ERP like anywhere else.

A platform that works elsewhere still has to satisfy Arizona's rules — the constitutional expenditure limitation, the Auditor General's Uniform Expenditure Reporting System, and ASRS and PSPRS reporting. We build for them from day one because we've closed the books under them.

The expenditure limitation is constitutional

Arizona caps local spending under a constitutional limit tied to the Economic Estimates Commission, reported through the Annual Expenditure Limitation Report. An ERP that can't track spending against the limit puts your AELR at risk.

The Auditor General sets the reporting bar

Arizona's Auditor General prescribes the Uniform Expenditure Reporting System and audit requirements. If the fund structure doesn't map, reporting becomes a yearly reconstruction.

ASRS and PSPRS shape payroll

Arizona payroll runs on Arizona State Retirement System and, for public safety, PSPRS reporting — each with its own contribution and reporting rules. Configured wrong, payroll breaks at the first cycle.

Two property taxes and Truth in Taxation

Arizona's primary and secondary property taxes and Truth in Taxation notices have to be modeled in the budget, or rate adoption becomes a manual workbook.

What we do for Arizona 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 Arizona's reporting.

01

ERP selection & RFP advisory

Vendor-neutral selection that turns how your Arizona 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 Arizona 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 Arizona reporting

The compliance details a national vendor misses.

These are the requirements that decide whether your Arizona 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

    Auditor General & UERS reporting

    Fund and account structure mapped to the Uniform Expenditure Reporting System so annual reporting satisfies the Auditor General.

  2. 02

    Expenditure limitation & the AELR

    Spending tracked against the constitutional limit so the Annual Expenditure Limitation Report is defensible.

  3. 03

    ASRS / PSPRS payroll & pension

    Contributions and reporting to ASRS and PSPRS configured in HCM so payroll and pension reconcile every cycle.

  4. 04

    Primary & secondary property taxes

    Both tax rates and Truth in Taxation notices supported in the budget module so rate adoption holds up.

  5. 05

    Procurement & contract compliance

    A.R.S. procurement, cooperative contracts, and local codes kept compliant through selection and contract.

  6. 06

    Utility billing & special districts

    Water, wastewater, and irrigation-district billing configured so exceptions and rebills stay the exception.

Outcomes

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

What senior, vendor-neutral leadership changes for an Arizona government — how ERP tends to go without it, and what it looks like with us accountable to you.

Before
  • The AELR is a manual, high-stakes scramble
  • Spending isn't tracked against the limit
  • ASRS and PSPRS reporting break after go-live
  • The vendor drives the timeline, not you
  • Audit findings surface reporting gaps late
After
  • The AELR is defensible and on time
  • Spending is tracked against the limit live
  • ASRS and PSPRS reconcile every cycle
  • Your team owns the platform, not the vendor
  • Reporting is clean before the Auditor General
Across Arizona

From Maricopa to the high country.

We work with Arizona jurisdictions statewide — on site when a go-live or a close needs hands in the room, and remotely for the steady work in between.

Phoenix metro & Maricopa County

The Valley cities — Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Scottsdale, and fast-growing West Valley towns.

Tucson & Pima County

Southern Arizona's largest jurisdictions, with heavy utility and social-service loads.

Northern Arizona

Flagstaff, Coconino, Yavapai, and the high-country communities.

FAQ

Government ERP in Arizona, answered.

+Do you work with Arizona governments even though your case studies are in other states?
Yes. Our published case studies are in California and Texas, but public-sector ERP is a national discipline and the operating model is identical — senior operators, vendor-neutral, embedded with your team. What changes in Arizona is the reporting layer: the expenditure limitation and AELR, the Auditor General, and ASRS and PSPRS payroll, and that's exactly what we build for.
+Which ERP platforms do you support for Arizona 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 handle the expenditure limitation and AELR?
Yes — it's one of the first things we design for. We map your fund structure to the Uniform Expenditure Reporting System and track spending against the constitutional limit so the Annual Expenditure Limitation Report is defensible.
+Does your work stay within Arizona procurement rules?
Yes. We scope selections and RFPs to hold up under A.R.S. procurement and use cooperative contracts where that's the faster compliant path. We're not the vendor, so our advice on the buy is genuinely independent.
+We're mid-implementation and it's slipping. Can you step in?
That's one of the most common ways Arizona 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.
