Scale what works
Born from GFOA. Built for public finance.
GovFi Solutions is a for-profit subsidiary of the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), the professional association for government finance. Many problems governments face never attract a good solution. GovFi was created to close that gap: validating problems with the people who live them, building and piloting solutions, and investing in what works.
We serve finance officers and the governments they run, along with the builders and investors who want to create lasting solutions for the public sector.
Built around the realities of public finance.
The best solutions start with the people doing the work. Practitioner input helps us understand which problems matter, what governments actually need, and whether a solution creates meaningful value.
Public finance is changing quickly, and our tools and ways of working need to change with it. GovFi gives me confidence that our profession can help shape that future rather than simply react to it.

There’s a lot changing in public finance right now. I like the idea that GovFi gives people doing the work a chance to help decide what better tools and ways of working should look like.

GovFi can serve as a partner for the already stressed public finance officers, where a community is behind you to tackle the problems facing our industry, together.

Innovation in local government isn't about adopting technology for its own sake; it’s about solving real-world fiscal challenges faster and more collaboratively. GovFi is creating the space where finance professionals can actively design the future of public stewardship instead of waiting for it to happen.

Built with the people GovFi supports.
Progress in public finance takes more than one kind of participant. Governments, builders, and investors each play a distinct role in moving validated problems to solutions that scale.
