The Bigger Picture

Design program budgeting that enables sustainable progress.

Navigate Fiscal Challenges

Public health crises and other public emergencies have caused governments to be reactive rather than proactive with their funding. PBB is a key tool that helps governments address revenue declines, increased expenses, and budget gaps.

Through PBB’s data-driven insights, governments can make informed decisions that align spending with essential programs and a fiscal sustainability plan.

Testimonials

Trusted by Community Leaders

“Through PBB, municipal service value has increased by $55 million without asking the taxpayer for a single dollar. In 2019, Strathcona County was honored among the top 10 communities ever, of over 250 PBB implementers in North America. We have reallocated a staggering 9 percent of our entire budget from low priority to high priority.”
“Through priority-based budgeting, Josh cut excess programs and has reallocated nearly 15 percent of the budget. Josh and his team have a fully funded road construction plan until 2050—without raising taxes.”
“Our journey started with the council wanting more transparency in our budget process, the greater ability to make data-driven decisions, and a greater ability for the general public to be a part of the budget process. And so, we landed on priority-based budgeting as the tool and mechanism to achieve those points. I really appreciate the accolades, and we're excited to continue to grow and move on this journey.”
