Partners

Sherpa sells more than just software. We sell a 20+ year partnership that allows our solution to grow with each client as needs change. Budgeting practices are some of the most likely to change, often quickly and without notice. We cannot always predict political or economic challenges, but we built a software and a team that can help you react to them and solve your challenges quickly and without reimplementation or consulting contracts.

Our software is built to be administered by functional, budget office personnel. We understand, however, that our Client Administrators have multiple jobs and time pressures, and we are there to help. The same consultants who implemented your solution with you will work with you when policies change, service demands require new functionality, or during the occasional pandemic.

Our team has a median of 23 years of experience implementing budgeting systems for governments across North America and support some of the largest, most complex clients. An issue your jurisdiction is having is very likely being addressed simultaneously by many others; we can share approaches and ideas.
