Case Study: Yuma County modernizes budget publishing with ClearGov

Yuma County, Arizona - Customer Case Study

Yuma County, Arizona, struggled with a manual, error-prone budgeting process that relied on Excel, Word, and multiple spreadsheet versions to assemble its annual budget book. The county also wanted a more modern way to present its 450+ page budget book online for citizens and board members, and to reduce the time and cost of printing hard copies. To modernize the process while maintaining GFOA best practices, Yuma County chose ClearGov’s Digital Budget Book solution.

With ClearGov, Yuma County created an organized, interactive, and easy-to-use digital budget book that simplified budget preparation and improved transparency and community engagement. The solution reduced back-and-forth with department heads, minimized manual consolidation work, and made it easier to update future budget numbers, saving significant time in future years. The county also uploaded 10 years of budget data for historical context and planned to use ClearGov’s Capital Budgeting solution to further improve public understanding of financial decisions.
