Cloud-native financial ERP and outsourced services for cities, counties, clerks, tax collectors, special districts, and regional authorities. Built on direct experience in fund accounting, audit preparation, financial reporting, and the daily operations of local government finance.
Aclarian's founder, Andrew Laflin, spent his career inside local government finance — managing fund balances, preparing for audits, processing invoices, building board packets, and working with the same legacy systems Aclarian's clients are replacing today.
The patterns were the same across every entity: platforms assembled through decades of acquisitions, implementations that stretched into years, support teams with no background in fund accounting, and finance staff adjusting their processes to fit software that was never designed for government.
He built Aclarian from scratch to work differently. Cloud-native architecture with fund accounting, pooled cash, and project & grant accounting at the core. No legacy code. No bolt-on acquisitions. Every workflow, approval path, and reporting structure informed by direct experience in the work it supports.
"I spent years on both sides of the desk — as an auditor and a Finance Director — watching local governments struggle with clunky ERP systems only to be treated like just another number by big tech vendors. We built Aclarian because local government finance teams deserve better: software that actually works, and a partner who both understands the local government landscape and your operation, and is genuinely invested in your success." — Andrew Laflin
Local government finance teams are running lean — covering vacancies, managing audits, preparing board packets, and closing the books with less capacity every year. A better platform helps, but it doesn't add hours to the day.
That's why Aclarian also offers outsourced financial services, accounting support, and HR/payroll — delivered by professionals who understand government finance and already work on the Aclarian platform. Whether your team needs help through audit season, interim coverage for a vacancy, or ongoing accounting support, we can step in without a learning curve.The ERP stands on its own. The services are there when you need them.
