CHARLOTTE, NC, August 26, 2024 – DebtBook, a leading provider of software for government and nonprofit treasury and accounting teams, today announced that the City of Milwaukee, WI (“the City”) has selected the firm’s cloud-based Debt Management solution to modernize its debt data management, processes, and reporting.
Established in 1846, the City of Milwaukee is home to nearly 600,000 residents. The City’s $1 billion debt program is managed by the Office of the Comptroller which also oversees the periodic refinancing of City debt to take advantage of any available lower interest rates and save taxpayers interest costs.
“The City of Milwaukee is modernizing its internal systems to streamline operations,” said Joshua Benson, Capital Finance Manager for the City of Milwaukee. “This will allow the Comptroller’s Office to spend more time on the strategic work that will ultimately better serve Milwaukeeans.”
Using DebtBook as its centralized debt management platform, the City of Milwaukee will enable organization-wide knowledge capture and increase operational efficiencies. With DebtBook, the City will be able to track debt schedules, issuance details, and historical changes, including refundings. DebtBook will also allow the City of Milwaukee to actively manage its continuing disclosure obligations, prepare year-end financial disclosures, store documents, and easily share all debt related information with internal teams and external stakeholders.
“Our Debt Management solution is purpose-built to help organizations, like the City of Milwaukee, gain greater visibility and control over its debt management practices,” said Tyler Traudt, CEO and Co-Founder of DebtBook. With better tools, we believe the City can deliver better financial outcomes and even more positive impact for residents of Milwaukee.”
