Strategic Budgeting by Euna Budget is the first-ever comprehensive strategic budgeting offering for state and local governments that enables government finance leaders to connect their strategic plans with annual budgets

VANCOUVER, Wash.: Euna Solutions®, a leading provider of purpose-built, cloud-based solutions for the public sector, today announced Clark County, Wash., is the first customer to leverage its new Strategic Budgeting offering by Euna Budget, the first-ever comprehensive strategic budgeting offering that enables government finance leaders to connect their strategic plans with annual budgets.

“Allocating strategic plans to specific budget line items has always been a complex and cumbersome task,” Emily Zwetzig, Clark County’s budget director. “We are thrilled to be the first to use Euna Budget’s Strategic Budgeting offering, which will enable easier collaboration for countywide internal stakeholders and enhance how we demonstrate outcomes in a meaningful way to our community members. Our partnership with Euna Solutions has been exceptionally positive, and we look forward to further enhancing our relationship with this innovative tool.”

Clark County is the southernmost county in the state of Washington. As of the 2020 census, the population was 503,311, making it Washington’s fifth-most populous county. Its county seat and largest city is Vancouver. Clark County’s government is currently using several modules of Euna Budget, including Operating, Capital, Personnel, and Transparency (OpenBook), which features Budget Book Studio.

Clark County was seeking a way to align its strategic plan with its budget to ensure more effective resource allocation and better outcomes. Ideally, they wanted a collaborative, cloud-based solution that integrated with their existing budget software.

Euna Budget offers full-cycle strategic budgeting, connecting strategy to all aspects of the budget, including operating, personnel, and capital budgets. Strategic Budgeting enables finance leaders to create and publish their strategic plans in a transparent and compliant way for the community while aligning plans to the annual budget.

Comprised of highly configurable budgeting and performance management systems built to help agencies modernize business processes, Euna Budget’s solutions enable data-driven budgeting and decision-making while increasing data accuracy, saving time, and improving community trust.
