We understand your great labor for lasting impact in your community. We share your aspirations for a higher quality of life for all. But, like you, we have also felt stifled by local politics, budget challenges, or the enormous inertia of apathy.
We are senior public sector executives committed to public service. This continues to be our motivation. Through insightful analysis and meaningful recommendations, our leading ambition is to serve you and your community to cultivate good governance and transformational change.
You know the drill: One more consultant is selected, the project takes longer than expected, and you get some uninspired and uninspiring findings and recommendations to implement that don’t really move the needle.
But what happens when finance department consultants go beyond a report?
You can realize your service delivery aspirations, and Citygate can help. We produce outcomes and results, not just another report. Our executive-level, practitioner finance department consulting team goes beyond a report because we care deeply about delivering these critical services to your customers, elected officials, and departments, your passion to steward your community’s resources, and the vital role you play in enriching all aspects of local government services in the public interest.
Our team of senior public sector executives looks forward to serving you. As long-time local government servants, we understand how important efficient and effective local government organizations are to building vibrant communities.
“I was absolutely thrilled with the report because it was very comprehensive, very detailed. I call it the ‘time-in-motion study’ almost and some of the aspects [are] ‘how does your paper flow? How can you make your processes better? . . . As a government agency, how can we provide better service to the constituents?’ And to us we think that this study identifies those things down to all of the small paper processes and flows.”
Retired City Manager City of Vista, CA
“I am very much appreciative of Citygate’s comprehensive view of all the issues. And you have been very candid and very forthright in the problem areas that you have identified and we appreciate that. Quite often sometimes people choose to gloss over those issues and therefore we never can get a real good handle on the problem to resolve it. And I very much appreciate your insight and your intuitive natures that you have all experienced in your government services and trying to identify where our problem areas are so we can identify for the public. I very much appreciate the idea and the comments that you made that we are talking about the citizens who come to the planning Department as customers. And so you’ve done a great service for us and we are certainly appreciative of all your efforts.”
Commissioner Jackson County
“Thank you so much for this training. This was the best PIO training I’ve ever received.”

“I think this is one of the most comprehensive reports and I think probably one of the best presented reports I’ve seen in my years in government service. I want to start off by commending you for that and acknowledge that the work that you were able to do with cooperation from all of the different firefighting agencies in this region was second-to-none.”

“[Stu Gary’s] knowledge, expertise, and demeanor were invaluable in our efforts to ferret out a fair agreement with the City. I could go on and on about Stu, but you already know all of the superlatives.”

“I really, really enjoyed reading your Word product. I appreciate the fact that it was direct, it was constructive, and . . . it wasn’t finger-pointing, it was just . . . the facts. And I think that the money was well spent.”
