THE CHALLENGE
Most municipalities wrestle with the same thing
​
When working with a dated or inconsistent chart of accounts, the impacts are costly:
Manual reporting
Unstructured or inconsistent accounts is the reason why your reports cannot be automated. When this happens, significant time loss occurs as reporting and reconciling becomes manually intensive.
​
ERP projects stall
Trying to move a poorly structured chart of accounts to a new system can create costly delays and integration problems, turning what should be a clean upgrade into months of additional cleanup work.
​
Missed opportunities
Managing, communicating, and cleaning up financial data steals focus from your finance team, diverting their time from other projects or opportunities.
​
Eroded trust
Inconsistent data makes analysis hard and erodes confidence in the results.

HOW WE WORK
Two Ways to Start
Whether you are ready to move on your own or have neighbouring municipalities looking to modernize at the same time, we have a path that works for you.
1
Individual Projects
We work directly with your finance team from assessment through to go-live. Our team handles the full conversion, maps your existing data, and sets up the governance tools to keep your framework accurate and current long term.
2
Group Project
Have two or more neighbouring municipalities looking to modernize at the same time? Band together and book a group project. You go through the conversion together, share the learning, and benefit from a reduced cost by doing it as a group.
What People Say
Overall, the chart of accounts redesign was a very beneficial project for both Finance and the users of our general ledger accounts. It reduced the number of accounts and made it easier to complete the LGDE, financial statements, and financial analysis.
At the start of the project, I certainly had some anxiety because of the change and not having ever done a chart of accounts conversion before. But working with our software providers and Municipal 360, the conversion process and change was certainly a lot easier and more efficient than I had anticipated. It was also well-received by all users.
