TRIM compliance is unforgiving
Florida's Truth in Millage process ties your millage to statutory notices and hearings on a fixed calendar. An ERP that can't support TRIM turns budget season into a compliance risk with the Department of Revenue.

Why Florida is different
Florida doesn't run ERP like anywhere else.
A platform that works elsewhere still has to satisfy Florida's rules — the Truth in Millage process, the Annual Financial Report and the Auditor General, and FRS reporting. We build for them from day one because we've closed the books under them.
Your AFR feeds the state and the Auditor General
Every Florida local government files an Annual Financial Report with the Department of Financial Services, and the Auditor General's rules shape the audit. If the fund structure doesn't map, filing becomes a yearly reconstruction.
FRS shapes payroll
Florida payroll runs on Florida Retirement System reporting — pension and investment plans, the special risk class, and monthly reporting. Configured wrong, payroll breaks at the first cycle.
Procurement law sets the pace
Florida Statutes Chapter 287, the CCNA for professional services, and local ordinances 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 Florida 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 Florida's reporting.
ERP selection & RFP advisory
Vendor-neutral selection that turns how your Florida 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
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
Recovery & stabilization
The call Florida 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
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 Florida reporting
The compliance details a national vendor misses.
These are the requirements that decide whether your Florida 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.
-
01
AFR & Auditor General reporting
Fund structure mapped so the Annual Financial Report to the Department of Financial Services and the Auditor General's requirements come out of the system.
-
02
TRIM / Truth in Millage
Millage calculations, statutory notices, and hearing dates supported in the budget module so TRIM compliance is defensible with the Department of Revenue.
-
03
FRS payroll & pension reporting
Florida Retirement System contributions, the special risk class, and monthly reporting configured in HCM so payroll and pension reconcile.
-
04
Half-cent, gas tax & grant funds
Restricted revenues — half-cent sales tax, local option gas tax, and grants — tracked so reporting and single-audit hold up.
-
05
Procurement & CCNA
Chapter 287 procurement and CCNA-compliant professional-services selection kept clean through contract.
-
06
Utility billing & CDDs
Water, sewer, reuse, and stormwater billing plus community development district reporting configured so exceptions stay the exception.

FAQ
Government ERP in Florida, answered.
+Do you work with Florida 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 Florida is the reporting layer: the AFR, TRIM, the Auditor General, and FRS payroll, and that's exactly what we build for.
+Which ERP platforms do you support for Florida 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 AFR and TRIM?
Yes — it's one of the first things we design for. We map your fund structure so the Annual Financial Report comes out of the system, and we support the TRIM millage, notices, and hearing calendar so budget season is defensible.
+Does your work stay within Florida procurement rules?
Yes. We scope selections and RFPs to hold up under Florida Statutes Chapter 287 and the CCNA for professional services. 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 Florida 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.
