Towns
General, highway, and special district funds tracked separately, with the reporting your board and your auditor expect.
Fund accounting built for small local governments.
Enhanced has kept the books for New York towns, villages, and fire districts since 1992. The chart of accounts and the reports follow the state's Uniform System of Accounts, and they get updated when the state changes the rules.
More than 90 New York municipalities. Most have been with us over twenty years.

If you keep municipal books, you already know the problem.
General accounting software doesn't know what a fund is. It won't produce the reports New York expects, and it won't stop you from posting something that quietly breaks your trial balance. So the work moves into spreadsheets, and after a few years the spreadsheets are the real system of record.
Enhanced starts from the state's chart of accounts. Funds, objects, and sub-accounts get set up the way your municipality actually uses them, so the reports come out of the ledger instead of getting rebuilt by hand every time someone asks for one.
Villages
Water, sewer, and general fund accounting in one ledger, with the June renewal cycle and fiscal year handled as standard.
Fire districts
Fund accounting sized for a district budget, without paying for a system built for a city.
The software
Ten modules, one general ledger.
Every module is included. Nothing posts to a separate system and gets reconciled later.
The ledger
General Ledger
Funds, objects, and sub-accounts on the state's chart of accounts. Everything else posts here.
Budget Preparation
Build next year's budget against real actuals, then post amendments as the board approves them.
Money going out
Purchase Order
Encumber before you spend, so the budget line reflects what's committed and not just what's been paid.
Accounts Payable
Vouchers, abstracts, and check runs with the audit trail your board and your auditor expect.
Payroll
Municipal payroll with the deductions, retirement reporting, and cross-fund distributions towns actually run.
Money coming in
Accounts Receivable
Bill and track what's owed to the municipality, and post receipts straight to the right fund.
Cash Management
See cash by fund and by bank account without exporting anything.
Bank Reconciliation
Reconcile against the statement inside the system, with outstanding items carried forward.
Assets and reporting
Fixed Assets
Keep the capital asset schedule current, with depreciation where you're required to report it.
MWBE Reporting
Track and report minority and women-owned business participation on the spend that requires it.
Version 12
Pay vendors and staff by ACH.
Version 12 adds ACH payments. Vendor payments and payroll can move electronically instead of by printed check, which takes the printing and signing out of the cycle and removes the week you spend waiting to find out a check never arrived.

New York changes the rules every year.
The Uniform System of Accounts gets updated. Reporting requirements shift. Payroll and retirement rules move. Your annual support keeps your installation current with those changes, so what you file is built on this year's rules rather than the ones that applied when you bought the software.
It also keeps someone on the other end of the phone who has spent decades in New York municipal accounting, for the days when something doesn't tie out and you need it fixed before the board meets.
You call, and someone who knows municipal books picks up.
Support comes from people with decades in New York municipal accounting. When it's faster to look at your screen than to describe the problem over the phone, we can connect to your computer with your permission and work through it together.

Most of our clients have been here more than twenty years.
Municipal software doesn't get replaced often, and that cuts both ways. It means a bad choice follows you for a decade. It also means that when a town stays with the same system through four bookkeepers and three boards, that tells you something.
Priced by the size of your municipality.
Annual support and licensing is one number. Every module is included, and there's no per-seat charge.
