Hendry County School District cuts budget book prep time by 75% with ClearGov

Hendry County School District, a public school district in Florida with over 7,500 students, faced a highly manual and stressful budget process. Their small finance team, led by CFO Jason Adams, relied on cumbersome Excel spreadsheets to build their annual budget book, a process that required rebuilding the entire document after any change and resulted in 12-hour workdays. Seeking to modernize operations and improve transparency, they turned to ClearGov and its Digital Budget Book solution.

By implementing ClearGov's solution, the district automated its budget creation. The platform allowed for easy data import and instantly generated a visual, interactive, and ADA-compliant budget book. This slashed their budget book preparation time by 75%, eliminating excessive overtime. The ClearGov solution also provided powerful generative AI features for comparative analysis and greatly improved communications with department heads and the school board through clear, auto-generated charts.
