Overview
FreeBalance supplies public financial management software for governments and public sector bodies. Its core product is a modular Government Resource Planning (GRP) system that helps plan, track, and report on public finances with a focus on transparency and governance, and it includes components for fiscal transparency portals, performance management, and expenditure management. A key difference is its emphasis on co-creation with governments, customer-led customization, and a mix of software, services, and training provided by the FreeBalance Academy to build capacity. The goal is to improve governance, boost fiscal transparency, and support public sector reforms to achieve better outcomes and reduce corruption.
