A customer story

Red Wing cut budget prep from three weeks to three days.

Finance Director Lisa Pederson's team runs the city's $24M general fund on Cirrus. After moving off KVS in 2024, the department reclaimed roughly 60 hours per close cycle — time they now spend on scenario planning instead of spreadsheet reconciliation.

"We spent most of February working on strategy, not chasing journal entries. That shift, for a four-person finance department, is the whole ballgame." — Lisa Pederson, Finance Director, City of Red Wing, MN

Research

Because buying software isn't the whole job.

The Springbrook Research Institute fields annual surveys on the operational pressures facing local governments — cybersecurity, workforce, technology adoption.

The 2026 cybersecurity survey is live. Early findings: 61% of responding agencies have no MFA on their finance system. We think that should change.
