Finance and Administration

Leveraging experience for smarter government operations—and enhanced performance

Our finance and administration services team is independent, objective, and has a deep understanding of the public sector. Our commitment to fundamentals consistently works—resulting in realistic, actionable recommendations that serve the best interests of each client. 

Working collaboratively with client stakeholders, our government experts routinely analyze people, processes, and technology in an effort to streamline operations and improve internal controls as clients prepare to upgrade or implement financial software. Our team has worked in the state and municipal market for more than two decades, and our knowledge of national best practices—and familiarity with client finance and administration business processes—fuels the development of both an achievable future vision, and the steps necessary to attain it. 

Our team includes Prosci^®-certified consultants with a deep understanding of change management—and the honed facilitation skills necessary to build consensus among stakeholders who interact with financial and administrative systems throughout the entire organization. Our expert team helps advocate for client interests with technology vendors, to monitor contract compliance, and, when necessary, escalate risks or issues to the project team. Our objective aligns with our clients’: to achieve defined results that measure up to expectations—on time and on budget. 

Our experience in government finance and administration departments gives us the fundamental knowledge necessary to hit the ground running. We also have ready access to resident CPAs with audit, tax, and financial experience, giving us the flexibility to engage subject matter expertise on an as-needed basis. As project partners, the BerryDunn team assists clients when: 

• Seasoned project management skills are required, and client staff is unable to provide the appropriate resources or skillsets.
• Software implementation efforts have slowed or veered off course, and a designated client advocate is unavailable or unable to work with vendors.
• Effective change management practices are not yet in place, but are required to facilitate software integration and implementation.
• Expert, objective advice is necessary to research and specify emerging technologies necessary to update or replace legacy software and systems.
