Discover how Local Tech Partners is revolutionising financial management for Australian councils.
Local Tech Partners is dedicated to providing small and medium-sized Australian councils with an accounting and ERP system designed specifically for their needs.
We're a locally owned and operated company, committed to reinvesting profits back into our communities. We understand the unique challenges faced by local governments, and our software is designed to streamline financial processes, reduce costs, and improve decision-making.
Born from decades of hands-on experience within Australian local government, our founders identified critical gaps in existing financial management systems. Traditional enterprise solutions often fall short of addressing the specific regulatory requirements, community accountability standards, and budget constraints that define the local government landscape. Our comprehensive platform bridges this gap by delivering intuitive, compliant, and cost-effective solutions that empower councils to serve their communities more effectively.
At Local Tech Partners, we believe that every Australian community deserves access to modern, efficient financial management tools. Our commitment extends beyond software delivery to fostering long-term partnerships that grow with your council's evolving needs. By choosing us, you're not just implementing a system – you're joining a network of forward-thinking councils working together to elevate public service standards across Australia.
