Case Study: City of Little Rock achieves award-winning, streamlined budgeting with ClearGov

City of Little Rock cuts budget workload by 25% with ClearGov

The City of Little Rock faced a cumbersome and manual budgeting process reliant on an unintuitive ERP system and a fragile, 20-year-old Excel spreadsheet for personnel data. This unsustainable system was time-consuming, prone to errors, and left the city exposed if key staff retired. To modernize this process, Little Rock implemented ClearGov's Digital Budget Book and Personnel Budgeting solutions.

By using ClearGov, the city streamlined the creation of its budget book and centralized all personnel data. This solution provided greater accuracy, enabled multi-year scenario planning, and ensured compliance with reporting requirements. As a result, Little Rock earned a GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award and achieved a 25% reduction in its budget workload, saving staff significant time and creating a more resilient process.
