What it is
ClearGov Budget Cycle is cloud-based budgeting and finance software for public-sector agencies, including local governments and school districts. Its Operational Budgeting tools support the process from baseline development through adoption and amendments, with annual or biennial budgets, forecasts for future years, and year-end projections. Teams can work together on budget line items in real time, save versions, and attach justifications and supporting documents. An audit trail records adjustments and user actions, including account numbers, descriptions, amounts, and date changes. The product supports approval workflows, scenario planning, actual-versus-budget tracking, and multi-entity budgeting. Capital Budgeting includes request forms, scoring, scenarios, dashboards, and spreadsheet or PDF report exports. Personnel Budgeting tracks filled and vacant positions, compensation, and multi-year staffing scenarios. Capital and personnel information can be imported into Operational Budgeting with automatic updates and duplicate detection. Digital Budget Book creates web, mobile, and PDF budget books with customizable pages and auto-generated content. Pricing is by quote, requires a demo, and has no per-seat fees; support and product updates are included.
