“
Uniting ClearGov and Gravity, we are unlocking the next chapter of innovation in the public sector. Public sector finance teams do essential work, and too often they are doing it with tools that slow them down. By bringing our two companies together, we are removing friction from the entire finance lifecycle – strategizing, planning, budgeting, disclosing – so agencies can work with more clarity, more speed, and more confidence in how they do their work and share information with the communities they serve.
