From day-to-day budget management to complex economic development financing and treasury strategy, Invoke provides the full spectrum of finance consulting services for local government and private developers.
A sound annual budget is the foundation of municipal financial health. We work alongside your finance team to build transparent, defensible budgets that reflect community priorities and comply with applicable law.
We build five-year revenue and expenditure forecasts that help governing bodies understand long-term fiscal trajectories, supporting informed policy decisions before they become budget crises.
Our budget documents are structured to align with Government Finance Officers Association Distinguished Budget Presentation Award criteria, supporting transparency and recognition for your community.
We coordinate general fund, special revenue fund, debt service fund, and enterprise fund budgets into a coherent, consolidated picture your council and public can understand.
Municipal debt is a powerful tool when structured correctly. We provide independent advisory — separate from underwriters and bond counsel — ensuring your community’s debt program serves its long-term interests.
Unlike underwriters who are compensated on deal volume, we serve as your independent financial advisor — with no financial incentive tied to the size or structure of any bond issuance.
We help communities establish or update formal debt management policies that set clear parameters for issuance, structuring, and management of all forms of municipal debt.
Revenue diversification and optimization is critical to long-term fiscal sustainability. We help municipalities understand, project, and strategically manage their revenue streams.
We model the impact of economic downturns, development slowdowns, and legislative changes on your revenue base — helping you plan for volatility before it arrives.
We compare your fee schedules against peer communities to identify gaps, ensure cost recovery, and support defensible rate-setting decisions in public forums.
Sustainable communities require long-range financial thinking. We build the analytical frameworks that allow your governing body to make today’s decisions with tomorrow’s consequences clearly in view.
We connect your capital project pipeline to financing capacity — identifying which projects can be cash-funded, which require debt, and how the overall CIP can be phased for sustainability.
We help establish and maintain reserve fund policies that protect against economic shocks, align with GFOA best practices, and provide governing bodies with clear targets.
For major development proposals and annexations, we model the long-term fiscal impact — net revenues vs. service costs — giving your council an objective basis for land use decisions.
Economic development financing requires expertise at the intersection of public finance, real estate, and policy. We provide independent analysis that protects the public interest while enabling growth.
We provide financial analysis of proposed incentive packages — modeling the true cost to the municipality and ensuring any public investment is justified by documented economic return.
For public-private partnerships, we independently evaluate proposed deal structures, identify risk-sharing mechanisms, and ensure the financial terms protect long-term public interests.
We work directly with private developers to model public finance structures, evaluate incentive opportunities, and navigate municipal approval processes with financial clarity.
Effective treasury management preserves capital, maximizes yield within risk parameters, and ensures liquidity for operations. We provide the specialized expertise most municipal finance offices need but rarely have in-house.
We draft and maintain investment policies that comply with applicable law, reflect your community’s risk tolerance, and provide clear guidance to staff managing public funds.
We conduct independent reviews of your investment portfolio — verifying compliance with your policy, applicable statutes, and prudent investor standards.
We manage the full banking services procurement process — drafting the RFP, evaluating proposals, and negotiating terms that reflect current market conditions and your operational needs.
