Drop the file. Run the task. Get an import-ready answer.
NJ Town Works reads the documents your office already produces, runs proven municipal-finance procedures, and hands back files formatted for the system your office already uses. Your CMFO reviews and posts everything.
Nothing posts to your ledger automatically. Ever.
Demo: choosing a bank-reconciliation task on sample data for the fictional town Riverside Glen; a brief working state, then the reconciliation figures populate and an import-ready workbook is produced. The account reconciles to the general ledger.
The reality
The work is real, the calendar is unforgiving, and the staff is stretched.
Bank recs every month. Payroll every pay period. Budget season, debt statements, and a year-end close that has to tie to the penny. NJ Town Works takes the mechanical, error-prone parts off your desk — without changing the system of record you already trust.
How it works
Three steps. One obvious next action on every screen.
1. Drop in your documents
Bank statements, trial balance, payroll report, bills list, or DLGS budget — the same files your office already produces.
2. The right skill runs
A guided, on-topic task runs a deterministic municipal-finance procedure on your documents. The math is real code, never a guess.
3. Get an import-ready file
Download a spreadsheet formatted for the finance system your office already uses, plus a plain-English explanation. You review and post — nothing is automatic.
The library
Skills covering the full municipal-finance calendar.
Each skill is a proven procedure shown here as the outcome it produces — never the recipe. New skills are added as the calendar demands.

Trust & FAQ
Built for auditors, regulators, and your peace of mind.
Is our data kept separate and private?
Yes. Each municipality is isolated at every layer — authentication, the database, file storage, and the agent itself — so no client can ever see another's documents.
Does anything post to our general ledger automatically?
Never. Every output is a file your CMFO reviews and posts. NJ Town Works assists; your certified finance officer remains the responsible official.
Can we see how a number was produced?
Yes. Every output traces back to the source documents and a deterministic procedure, with the relevant NJ authorities cited and the right disclaimers attached.
What if we cancel?
We export your data and outputs to you and delete per your municipality's records-retention schedule and the contract. Renewal terms are disclosed up front.
