Senior, vendor-neutral ERP consultants for California 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.
Senior public-sector ERP operators — trusted by cities, counties, school districts, and special districts across the country.
California's local-government map is vast — hundreds of cities and thousands of special districts, all reporting to the State Controller. That's exactly the environment senior, vendor-neutral ERP leadership is built for.
A platform that works elsewhere still has to satisfy California's rules — the State Controller's Financial Transactions Report, Proposition 13 and the Gann appropriations limit, and CalPERS and CalSTRS reporting. We build for them from day one because we've closed the books under them.
California cities and counties file annual Financial Transactions Reports with the State Controller's Office in a prescribed format. If the ERP's structure doesn't map, filing becomes a yearly reconstruction.
Proposition 13's assessment rules and the Gann appropriations limit shape what you can levy and spend. An ERP that can't model the appropriations limit puts the calculation on a fragile workbook.
California payroll runs on CalPERS and CalSTRS reporting — classic and PEPRA tiers, and for many counties an independent 1937 Act system. Configured wrong, payroll and pension break at the first cycle.
California's Public Contract Code and local purchasing ordinances govern how you buy and configure a system. We keep the selection and the buy inside the rules that get reviewed.
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 California's reporting.
Vendor-neutral selection that turns how your California jurisdiction actually runs into a defensible platform choice — with an RFP that survives procurement review and a TCO your board can stand behind.
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.
The call California 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.
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.
These are the requirements that decide whether your California 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.
Fund and account structure mapped so the annual Financial Transactions Report comes out of the system in the Controller's format.
Appropriations-limit calculations and Prop 13 assessment handling supported in the budget module so the numbers are defensible.
Classic and PEPRA tiers and independent county systems configured in HCM so payroll and pension reconcile every cycle.
Gas tax, Measure funds, grants, and state-mandate claim reporting tracked so single-audit and claims hold up.
Public Contract Code procurement and local ordinances kept compliant through selection and contract.
Water, sewer, refuse, and enterprise-fund billing configured so exceptions and rebills stay the exception.
What senior, vendor-neutral leadership changes for a California government — how ERP tends to go without it, and what it looks like with us accountable to you.
We work with California jurisdictions statewide — on site when a go-live or a close needs hands in the room, and remotely for the steady work in between. We already lead a multi-module ERP program for the City of Oxnard.
Los Angeles, Orange, the Inland Empire, and Ventura — where we lead the City of Oxnard's multi-module ERP program.
San Francisco, the Peninsula, the East Bay, and Silicon Valley cities and districts.
San Diego County's cities, water districts, and special districts.
From the capital region down through Fresno and the agricultural heartland.
