ClearGov Surpasses 2,000 Customers, Celebrates Strong Momentum and Showcases Platform Innovation at GFOA 2026 Annual Conference

Company to demo new Financial Engagement Platform and preview upcoming Grant Management Solution at Booth 255.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ClearGov, the leading provider of modern finance cycle management software for local governments, today announced it will exhibit at the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) 2026 Annual Conference. The company arrives at GFOA on the heels of a series of significant milestones surpassing 2,000 customers across local government and school districts, managing more than $540 billion in managed budgets, and capping a quarter of exceptional growth.

GFOA attendees can visit ClearGov at Booth 255 for demonstrations spanning the full public finance lifecycle, from budgeting and planning to reporting, disclosure, and resident engagement. Visitors can experience Financial Engagement, ClearGov's recently launched AI-powered platform for budget communication and community engagement, and get an exclusive sneak preview of Grant Management, a new solution launching later this summer.

Company Momentum: A First Half of Exceptional Growth

ClearGov enters GFOA with strong commercial momentum across the business:

• 2,000+ customers served across local governments and school districts nationwide, managing more than $540 billion in budgets to date.
• 102 new customers added this year, reflecting sustained demand for modern public finance tools.
• 2000+ customers launched into production this year.
• 41 new team members welcomed this year, with 20+ additional hires planned in 2026.
• 85% time savings on ACFR preparation and 94% time savings on budgeting and budget book preparation.

"Reaching 2,000 customers is a meaningful milestone that reflects the trust local government and school district finance teams have placed in ClearGov. At GFOA, this year, we're excited to show not just what we've built, but where we're headed with AI-powered tools that are fundamentally changing what's possible in public finance, making every phase of the finance cycle faster, clearer, and more connected," said Tyler Davey, CEO of ClearGov.

Financial Engagement: AI-Powered Community Budget Transparency

ClearGov's Financial Engagement platform helps local governments turn complex budget data into interactive, AI-powered experiences that residents can actually understand. Through web and SMS, residents can ask questions, participate in polls and surveys, and provide feedback, giving finance teams valuable insight into community priorities before budgets go to a vote.

Since launch, early-adopter governments including Rochester Hills, Michigan; Cleveland, Ohio; and Placer County, California have used Financial Engagement to field resident questions at scale. In the case of GFOA award winner Rochester Hills, MI, the platform surfaced feedback that traditional engagement channels had missed, helping city leaders make more informed funding decisions and strengthen public trust.

Financial Engagement is now available to all ClearGov customers.

A Sneak Preview: Grant Management, Launching This Summer

ClearGov will also offer GFOA attendees an exclusive first look at Grant Management, a new solution designed to help local governments manage incoming grant funding from AI-powered discovery through compliance, all in one centralized platform.

Grant Management replaces fragmented grant workflows with connected oversight across departments to coordinate grant activity, funding, reporting, and accountability in a single workspace. ClearGov is currently working with a select group of Early Access Program participants to gather feedback ahead of its planned general availability.
