Capita LGS’ expertise in local government financial services ensures that by choosing us as your partner, you’re guaranteed to get expert finance support with improved performance and reduced costs.
We understand that today the role of the council finance department is integral and all-encompassing, often playing a pivotal function in helping local authorities achieve their objectives and enabling effective strategic direction and governance of the organisation. In order to help our clients meet their tough targets we’ve developed a set of core financial services that combine our local government knowledge with the skills and experience of our finance professionals, but still ensure that the ownership of the finance department remains firmly with the council.
Our offering of financial services for local authorities ranges from providing the entire finance function to supplying certain elements only. Our financial services include:
