“Government spending and fiscal responsibility is the highest priority for our administration,” said Boone County Judge/Executive Gary Moore. “Opengov.com is now a great tool for our staff to monitor our income and expenses. It is also available to our residents to track where their tax dollars are being spent.”

The OpenGov financial analysis platform transforms budget data into intuitive, interactive reports that make it easy to see how taxpayer money is collected and spent.

With OpenGov technology, governments collaborate more effectively through their budgeting process, make smarter data-driven decisions and build trust through greater transparency. The company currently serves nearly 300 governments across 38 states including Minneapolis, and Orange County, California.
