summary

OpenGov builds a SaaS platform that ingests messy general ledgers, reverse-engineers chart of accounts hierarchies, and produces searchable visualizations (flow diagrams, Sankey, treemaps) so finance directors can pivot and citizens can see service-level spending. The team prototypes a three-column hierarchy editor, an automated budget projection that extrapolates year-end from six months of data, and outlier detection to flag over/under‑spending. Adoption runs at roughly 950 local governments and finance users report major time savings over Excel and legacy systems.
