BS&A General Ledger vs FUNDVIEW

BS&A General Ledger is the central ledger in BS&A’s cloud-based Financial Management Suite, storing financial entries from other suite modules. Designed exclusively for local government, it supports GAAP fund accounting and governmental GASB reporting. Built-in GASB 34 reports allow adjustment entries in a separate Adjustments fund or a GASB 34 Adjustments area. Statistical reports calculate major and minor funds in summary or detailed formats and let users drill down to account balances. Budgeting includes spreadsheet imports, user-defined levels, projections, proposed reports, and what-if scenarios; it can draw employee longevity, grade, raise, and benefit projections from BS&A’s Human Resources module. Bank Reconciliation supports imported transactions, multiple accounts, pooled cash, and grouping by deposit. Listed capabilities also include restricted fund tracking, grant management, budget-versus-actuals, and program tracking. It runs on the web with cloud deployment, and BS&A says suite data is shared for real-time updates and to avoid duplicate entry. Pricing is on request.

FUNDVIEW is a cloud ERP platform built specifically for local governments. It brings finance, payroll, utility billing, municipal court, permitting, code enforcement, and citizen services into a connected system. Financial Management covers general ledger, bank reconciliation, budgeting, accounts payable, purchasing, asset management, cash receipting, and reporting; modules post to the ledger in real time. The platform also supports restricted fund tracking, budget-versus-actual review, encumbrances, and purchasing workflows. CityCentral gives residents online utility and municipal court self-service, including payments, account history, and receipts. Utility payments can also use FastGovPay, with balances and financial records updated automatically. The browser-based service runs in the cloud without customer-maintained servers or a VPN. Security provisions include role-based access, audit trails, two-factor authentication, encryption, automatic updates, and backups. Implementation includes configuration, data migration, onboarding, and training, with timing depending on scope. Support includes U.S.-based live assistance, training resources, a knowledge base, and compliance updates. Pricing is available by request.
