THALES CONSULTING
SOLUTIONS FOR GOVERNMENT
Consulting services & software for local government financial reporting.
Who we are
Founded in 2002, Thales Consulting Inc., creates software and provides consulting related to local government financial reporting. Our CAFRONLINE product streamlines the preparation of financial reports, through collaboration and efficient reporting processes.
We collaborate with over 200 clients across 22 states in a cost effective manner because all aspects of our services — from set-up to training, to maintenance, can be completed remotely.
mission statement
Our mission is to identify, develop, and implement projects which are desired by local governments, provide economies of scale, and increase a government’s ability to be responsible to their constituents.
who is thales?
Among a host of other achievements, Thales of Miletus is thought to be the founder of natural philosophy and the developer of the scientific method. It could be argued that his achievements are unparalleled, because he single-handedly initiated the first western enlightenment.
SOFTWARE & SERVICES
CAFR
Currently over 90 local governments use CAFRONLINE to create their CAFR or annual financial report. CAFRONLINE was designed to streamline the production of the CAFR. Having the entire document centrally located not only eliminates version control issues, but being web-based improves collaboration, which clients say provides the flexibility to add more resources to meet their deadlines.
Since many of us are now teleworking we can no longer yell across the hall for help from our coworkers. As a result, we have created a support forum for CAFRONLINE users to better communicate with one another.
The forum provides another way to support users. Users form different governments can now interact, share tips, discuss approaches to GASB pronouncements, and interact with the CAFRONLINE support team. Within the forum users can easily navigate to find answers to old questions they have asked without digging through old emails. Users can search through categories relevant to their questions to possibly find them already answered.
This forum is for CAFRONLINE users only. Since it is private users must create an account to access any of the information.

Future Events
Amid the global pandemic Thales Consulting Inc. has decided to suspend all travel to conferences until June 2021. Depending on the circumstances any conferences that we decide to attend after June 2021 will be posted here and will be announced to relevant clients via email. We will continue to support these professional organizations as opportunities present themselves.
