Case Study: City of Picayune, Mississippi achieves uninterrupted city services during COVID-19 with AccuFund

Municipality Adapts to Continue Serving Constituents Amidst Pandemic

AccuFund (powered by 3VERTICALS) supported the City of Picayune, Mississippi, as it faced the operational challenges of the COVID-19 emergency. When the state ordered non-essential workers to stay home in March 2020, city leaders needed a way for finance, payroll, utility billing and other departments to continue serving residents without interruption.

Because Picayune had migrated to AccuFund’s cloud-based government accounting suite in 2019, staff were able to take laptops and VOIP headsets home and resume work immediately. The solution enabled online utility payments, employee self-service, automated updates (reducing IT overhead), and easy financial reporting—allowing the city to maintain services, improve efficiency, and keep staff cohesive during the crisis.
