The City of Dubuque, Iowa, faced challenges with a manual and disjointed budget process that led to significant errors, such as entering the same revenue twice. To reduce this risk, the city's budget team sought a new solution and chose the Workiva platform for financial reporting to centralize its operations.

By implementing Workiva, the city slashed the number of applications used in its budget process from five to two, greatly reducing the risk of manual errors. The solution provided process reliability through automated reminders and workflow, increased engagement across 28 departments, and freed up time for the city manager.
