About ClearGov

Our mission is to create easy-to-use software to help the U.S. public sector - local governments, counties, special districts, and school districts - budget better. ClearGov is a rapidly-growing, venture-funded SaaS company that offers a complete Budget Cycle Management Suite that enables public sector clients to plan, build, and present their budgets more efficiently and effectively. We’re a mission-driven company that envisions a world where modern software enables every local government to best serve and improve its community.

Our software is utilized nationwide by hundreds of towns, cities, school districts, and other local agencies who are part of the ClearGov community, and we’re adding more every day. We’ve been named to the “GovTech 100” for eight years running, and we’re on BostInno’s “50 On Fire” list, as well. ClearGov also earned a place on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s Fastest Growing Companies for three consecutive years, 2021, 2022, and 2023.
