Solutions for debt

The liquidity position takes days to compile, every Monday morning.

Only about 1 in 5 government and nonprofit organizations has real-time visibility into their liquidity position. 40%+ compile the daily cash position by hand.*

No cash flow tools readily available. Data existed, but it was not in one platform.

What Monetary does

Protect, deploy, and optimize every dollar your local government is responsible for.

Three accountabilities define your finance office’s job. Monetary is built around them — with the data, the workflows, and the AI analyst working across all of it, in a single platform.
Protect every dollar

See every dollar. Catch every risk.

Visibility is how you protect public money. Cash, investments, bond proceeds, and the controls around them — in one place, in real time. A bank fee error, a mistyped wire, or a position drifting out of policy surfaces the day it happens, not at year-end.

In their own words

From finance leaders running communities like yours.

“In the past to prepare debt schedules, it was a process of three to four weeks. With Monetary, it’s literally just a matter of selecting the fiscal year and downloading the information.”

“Once you have all the new leases in Monetary, you just click a couple of buttons and your reports are done. It’s sort of magical. One click of the button and I have my audit notes. Another click and I have my journal entries.”

AI analyst for your finance office

The AI analyst that knows your funds, your debt, and your policy — and asks before it acts.

Marty is grounded in your finance office’s data — not the internet. Every answer links back to the underlying source. Every action requires your explicit review and approval.

Customer story

“I feel confident that I could send a new senior financial analyst into Monetary and say, ‘Create five different scenarios with these assumptions,’ and they’d be able to get me something within an afternoon. That’s a level of efficiency we just didn’t have before.”

Why Monetary exists

Corporate treasury tools weren’t built for local governments. Monetary was.

Fund accounting. Bond proceeds. GASB 87, 96, and 103. Board-approved investment policy. Operating accounts, LGIPs, custodians, and bond trustees at different institutions. None of this exists in corporate finance — and no corporate platform can be configured into the workflows that handle it.

Every dollar tagged to a fund. Every fund reconcilable to the bank.

Local government finance runs on fund accounting — General, Capital Projects, Debt Service, Enterprise, Special Revenue, dozens more. Bond proceeds spend down by project and fund. Tax-exempt compliance follows every dollar through closeout. Monetary was designed around fund-level detail from day one — not retrofitted from a corporate ledger.

GASB 87 & 96, built in.

Schedules, disclosures, and journal entries designed for the standards your ACFR is audited against. Remeasurement events tracked when terms change. Embedded leases surfaced before procurement makes the next mistake.

Your board-approved investment policy, monitored live.

Your policy is enforced continuously inside Monetary — not checked quarterly in a spreadsheet. If a position drifts out of policy, you find out the same day. Audit-ready evidence at any moment. The compliance language your council expects, generated from the same data your team works in.

LGIPs, custodians, and bond trustees — unified in one view.

Operating accounts at the bank. Pooled cash at the state or local LGIP. Reserves at a custodian. Bond proceeds at a trustee. Most corporate treasury tools don’t connect to municipal bond trustees or LGIPs at all. Monetary unifies the four into one real-time view of your full position.

FAQs

What other local government finance leaders ask before they buy.

ERPs act as your accounting and financial reporting command center. Monetary sits next to your ERP as your debt, cash, and investment command center — the work ERPs were never designed for. We partner and integrate directly with the major government ERP providers and feed them the journal entries they need.
