Senior, vendor-neutral ERP consultants for Washington State counties, cities, towns, school districts, and special purpose 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.
Washington's local governments all report through the State Auditor's BARS system, and hundreds of special purpose districts share it. That's exactly the environment senior, vendor-neutral ERP leadership is built for.
A platform that works elsewhere still has to satisfy Washington's rules — the State Auditor's BARS reporting, the 1% property tax levy limit, and Department of Retirement Systems reporting. We build for them from day one because we've closed the books under them.
Washington requires local governments to report through the State Auditor's Budgeting, Accounting, and Reporting System, on a GAAP or cash basis. An ERP whose structure doesn't map to BARS turns annual reporting into a reconstruction.
Washington caps regular property tax levy growth at 1% a year without a voted lid lift. An ERP that can't model the limit and banked capacity puts the levy on a fragile workbook.
Washington payroll runs on Department of Retirement Systems reporting — PERS, LEOFF, PSERS, SERS, and TRS, each with its own plans and reporting. Configured wrong, payroll and pension break at the first cycle.
Washington has no state income tax, but B&O tax, sales tax, and prevailing wage still shape the ledger and payroll. We build for them so they don't surface mid-project.
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 Washington's reporting.
Vendor-neutral selection that turns how your Washington 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 Washington 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 Washington 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 to the Budgeting, Accounting, and Reporting System so annual reporting satisfies the State Auditor's Office.
Levy-limit calculations, banked capacity, and lid-lift handling supported in the budget module so the levy is defensible.
Contributions and reporting to PERS, LEOFF, PSERS, SERS, and TRS configured in HCM so payroll and pension reconcile every cycle.
REET, utility taxes, and grant funds tracked so single-audit and restricted-use reporting hold up.
RCW bidding thresholds and prevailing-wage tracking kept compliant through selection and contract.
Water, sewer, stormwater, and special-district billing configured so exceptions and rebills stay the exception.
What senior, vendor-neutral leadership changes for a Washington government — how ERP tends to go without it, and what it looks like with us accountable to you.
We work with Washington jurisdictions statewide — on site when a go-live or a close needs hands in the room, and remotely for the steady work in between.
King, Pierce, and Snohomish — the state's largest, most complex jurisdictions and districts.
Spokane County and the cities and districts of the Inland Northwest.
Clark County and the Vancouver metro across from Portland.
The capital region, the Tri-Cities, Yakima, and the coastal counties.
