About ClearGov

Our mission is to create easy-to-use software to help local governments plan, budget and report better. ClearGov is a rapidly growing, venture-funded SaaS company that offers a complete planning, budgeting and financial reporting suite that enables local governments to plan, build, and present their financials 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 more than a thousand 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, 2023 and 2024.

The ClearGov team is a tight-knit group of talented folks who are passionate about our mission and committed to building a positive, productive company culture. We believe in a work-hard/play-hard environment, and every day, we strive to get better at our work, all while being considerate, trustworthy, and transparent in everything we do.
