FreeBalance lists its corporate headquarters at 343 Preston Street, Suite 400, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
What it is
FreeBalance Accountability Suite is a commercial Government Resource Planning solution for public financial management and government fiscal systems. Its six base configurations cover performance management, public financials, public expenditure, treasury, receipts, and civil service management. Financial functions include budget and commitment accounting, appropriations, a Chart of Accounts, and real-time ledger balancing. Public expenditure tools cover purchasing, procurement, grants, social programs, and the purchase cycle. Modules can be implemented separately or together, then added progressively as a government program advances. The web-based, Java-powered platform supports centralized, decentralized, and hybrid deployments, including on-premises, private, public, and community cloud environments and shared services. It can integrate with government information systems, including financial and HR systems. The platform uses a service-oriented architecture and supports fiscal and accounting standards from the United Nations, IMF, World Bank, IFRS, and Millennium Challenge Corporation. FreeBalance describes training and support services, including global second- and third-line help-desk support. It works exclusively with governments and designs the suite for public-sector use. Pricing is available on request.
