Senior, vendor-neutral ERP consultants for Ohio counties, cities, villages, townships, and school 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.
Ohio's local governments answer to one of the most active audit offices in the country, and many levy their own income tax. That's exactly the environment senior, vendor-neutral ERP leadership is built for.
A platform that works elsewhere still has to satisfy Ohio's rules — the Auditor of State, municipal income tax withholding, and the OPERS, SERS, STRS, and OP&F retirement systems. We build for them from day one because we've closed the books under them.
Hundreds of Ohio cities levy their own income tax, collected through RITA, CCA, or the city, with courtesy withholding rules. An HCM configured without them exposes you to withholding errors on every paycheck.
Ohio's Auditor of State audits local governments closely, on a GAAP or regulatory cash basis. If the fund structure doesn't map, reporting becomes a yearly reconstruction and a findings risk.
Ohio payroll runs on OPERS, SERS, STRS, and OP&F, each with its own contribution and reporting rules by employee type. Configured wrong, payroll and pension break at the first cycle.
Ohio's tax reduction factors and the 10-mill limitation shape what a levy actually raises. An ERP that can't model them puts millage on a fragile workbook.
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 Ohio's reporting.
Vendor-neutral selection that turns how your Ohio 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 Ohio 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 Ohio 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, on a GAAP or regulatory basis, so annual reporting satisfies the Auditor of State without manual reconstruction.
City income tax withholding and remittance through RITA, CCA, or the municipality, including courtesy withholding, configured so every paycheck is right.
Contributions and reporting to Ohio's four retirement systems configured in HCM so payroll and pension reconcile every cycle.
Levy calculations, tax reduction factors, and the 10-mill limitation supported in the budget module so millage holds up.
Ohio Revised Code bidding thresholds kept compliant through selection and contract.
Water, sewer, and utility billing configured so exceptions and rebills stay the exception.
What senior, vendor-neutral leadership changes for an Ohio government — how ERP tends to go without it, and what it looks like with us accountable to you.
We work with Ohio jurisdictions statewide — on site when a go-live or a close needs hands in the room, and remotely for the steady work in between.
Franklin County and the fast-growing suburbs around the capital.
Cuyahoga, Summit, and the Akron-Canton corridor along the lake.
Hamilton, Butler, and the Dayton region.
From Toledo and the northwest to the townships of the southeast.
