Ready

Purpose-built for local governments and  communities just like yours.

Most accounting platforms were built for companies, then patched to handle fund accounting, utility billing, and municipal court collections as afterthoughts. gWorks Financials was built from the ground up for the way local governments actually run: multiple funds, citizen-facing billing cycles, public audit requirements, and the small team running the whole thing.

Audit-ready by default

Every transaction is tracked, every fund is separated, every report is exportable. No manual reconciliation before audit season.

One platform, one company, one relationship

Billing, GL, payroll, court fines, and citizen payments live on the same platform. No CSV exports between systems. No reconciliation between vendors who don't talk to each other.

Works alongside Operations

When a work order closes with cost data attached, those costs are available to your finance team. Modular today, deeply connected over time.

A platform designed for  your specific needs.

Start with the module that solves your biggest headache. Add more when you're ready. You're never locked into buying the whole suite.

From meter read to closed books.

One resident. One utility account. Five modules working together without a single manual handoff between them.

1
Utility Billing

Meter read processed

Usage is calculated, the bill is generated, and a statement is sent to the resident. Print or email, your call.

2
Citizen Engagement

Resident receives bill online

The resident logs into the citizen portal, sees their balance, and views their account history. 24 hours a day, no staff required.

3
FrontDesk Payments

Payment collected

The resident pays by ACH or card. The transaction is processed, the account is marked paid, and a receipt is generated automatically.

4
Fund Accounting

Revenue posts to GL

The payment hits the right revenue account in the right fund. No manual journal entry. No end-of-day batch reconciliation.

5
Fund Accounting

Audit trail complete

The meter read, the bill, the payment, and the GL entry are all linked. Audit season starts with the records already organized.

Two desks. One system.

Finance Director and City Clerk each have a different job. The data flows between them without export or a phone call.

Finance Director

Owns the general ledger, budget tracking, and audit readiness. Needs every dollar to land in the right fund without chasing manual entries.

  • Finance (Fund Accounting): GL, AP/AR, budgets, grants
  • Payroll: labor costs direct to GL
  • Court & Fines: revenue posts to the right funds

City Clerk

Manages licensing, permits, court records, citizen engagement, and the front office. The connective tissue between residents and the financial system.

  • Licensing & Permitting: renewals, fees
  • Court & Fines: dockets, citations, collections
  • Cemetery Records: plots, ownership, deeds
  • Citizen Engagement: public notices, requests, agendas
