We understand public finance.
And connect your systems.
PSG combines expertise in cash-based accounting (Kameralistik) and accrual accounting (Doppik) with data integration, reporting and interfaces. For public authorities and institutions, using the systems you already have.

SQL Server is not a requirement.
Many of our public-sector clients use other database systems. Our work on public-finance reporting and interfaces follows your applications, data and processes. You do not need to introduce a SQL Server environment to work with us.
Questions public authorities bring to us.
How much is still available?
Budget, actuals, commitments and free funds per chapter and budget line: up to date, instead of after days of manual compilation.
Why don't the numbers match?
Budget, cost accounting and specialist applications deliver different states. A checked common foundation creates one number everyone can refer to.
Can business units analyse data themselves?
Anyone with a question about the use of funds should not have to ask IT. Departments and decentralised units get their own view.
How can routine work become more reliable?
Checks and calculations that live in Excel sheets today become traceable rules in the system.
From financial data to processes that work.
A report needs to answer the questions of the people using it. An interface needs to fit the process. We look at both, together with IT and the teams who work with them every day.
Public-finance reporting
Understand financial data, prepare it and turn it into reports people can follow, from the monthly report on the use of funds to views for departments and decentralised units.
Interfaces between applications
Develop and extend data transfers, investigate transmission problems and adapt interfaces as processes change.
Data integration & quality
Load data from budget, cost accounting and specialist applications regularly and with checks, with history and audit-proof storage. Origins and processing stay traceable through to the report.
Reporting through system changes
Adapt existing reports and data transfers to new sources or changed systems. Validate the results together with the teams using them.
Kameralistik or Doppik? We understand both.
The concepts and relationships of public-sector accounting are part of our work. We discuss your reports in your own terminology.
Kameralistik
- Line-item budget
- Budget and actuals
- Commitments
- Carry-overs
- Commitment appropriations
Doppik
- Output-based budget
- Income statement
- Cash flow statement
- Balance sheet
- Cost and performance accounting
Whether your organisation uses cash-based accounting, accrual accounting or both side by side: we bring the numbers into the form that budget, controlling and management need.
Your environment is the starting point.
- Which applications supply the data?
- Who works with the reports?
- Where does a transfer between systems get stuck?
Together, we turn these questions into a focused task and a clear next step. The database is one part of that environment; useful outcomes and reliable processing guide the approach.
In public finance since the 1990s.
Consulting and software development for finance and controlling in the public sector have been part of PSG since the 1990s. Two published projects from federal and state level show what that means in practice.

With the task at hand.
Business and IT teams sit at the same table from the start.
- 01
Understand the business process
Clarify the question behind the report or data transfer together with the domain team and IT.
- 02
Trace the data flow
Look at sources, processing and results together and identify the part that needs attention.
- 03
Implement and validate
Develop the agreed change and check the results from both a business and technical perspective.
Where do your data flows need a better connection?
Whether it is reporting, data preparation or an interface: tell us about the process and the systems involved.
