EMK

What EMK does

EMK, Inc. is a privately held software consulting firm founded in 1993 by Elisa M. Kearney and headquartered in Export, Pennsylvania. The company operates as a certified reseller and implementation specialist for two complementary software platforms: AccuFund, a fund accounting suite covering general ledger, accounts payable, payroll, budgeting, and financial reporting for nonprofits and government entities, and MyGov, a web-based government software ecosystem with modules for Permits, Business License, Code Enforcement, and Work Orders. Through a structured five-step implementation methodology (Design, Build, Test, Train, Go Live), EMK delivers implementation, training, and ongoing support services, supplemented by Kronos and GIS/Mapping integrations.

EMK generates revenue through three primary streams: recurring software license resales via its AccuFund and MyGov partnerships, professional services fees for implementation and configuration, and recurring support retainers including telephone, on-site, remote, and web training plus an Annual Users' Group. Pricing is custom and quote-based, with multi-year contracts typical for the segment. The company holds a Women's Business Enterprise (WBENC) certification and has accumulated 100+ AccuFund implementations across 8 states/territories (Pennsylvania, New York, Arizona, Maryland, Michigan, Virginia, West Virginia, and Puerto Rico), serving municipal governments, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, water authorities, and special districts. EMK has been recognized with multiple AccuFund reseller awards from 2004 through 2018, including Volume Achievement, Partner Leadership, Marketing Excellence, and Reseller of the Year honors, reflecting long-standing category leadership within its niche.

Direct peers

• Springbrook Software: Springbrook Software provides cloud-based fund accounting, utility billing, and payment solutions for small-to-mid-sized cities and special districts. It is most comparable to EMK's AccuFund practice in scale, customer profile (small municipalities and water authorities), and product scope.

Broad incumbents

• CentralSquare: CentralSquare is a public sector software vendor offering finance, HR, payroll, and public administration solutions for cities, counties, and public safety agencies. It competes with the AccuFund-MyGov combination in municipal back-office systems purchasing decisions.
• Blackbaud: Blackbaud is a leading enterprise software provider serving nonprofits, foundations, healthcare, and education markets with fundraising, financial management, and CRM products. It competes for the same nonprofit software budget that EMK's AccuFund practice addresses.
• Tyler Technologies: Tyler Technologies is a large, publicly-traded provider of software to state and local governments, including financial management, ERP, and public administration solutions. While Tyler sells directly rather than through resellers, it targets the same municipal and government finance buyers that EMK serves with AccuFund and MyGov.
• Granicus: Granicus provides government experience cloud software spanning communications, permitting, licensing, and records management. Several of its modules overlap with MyGov's Permits, Business License, and Code Enforcement offerings, targeting the same municipal and county customers.
• Sage Intacct: Sage offers cloud financial management software, with Sage Intacct including nonprofit and government editions. As an established accounting software incumbent, it competes for the same fund accounting opportunity in nonprofit and government finance teams that EMK serves.
• MIP Fund Accounting: MIP Fund Accounting (now part of Community Brands) is a long-standing fund accounting software platform built for nonprofit and government organizations. It directly competes with AccuFund in the same buyer evaluation for nonprofit accounting systems, placing it adjacent to EMK's resale portfolio.

Emerging players

• OpenGov: OpenGov provides cloud-native budgeting, financial planning, and procurement software for state and local governments. As a venture-backed challenger to legacy government ERP vendors, it represents an emerging alternative that targets the same municipal finance and operations buyers EMK reaches through MyGov and AccuFund.

Others

• AccuFund: AccuFund is the software vendor whose fund accounting platform EMK resells, implements, and supports. AccuFund is the primary supplier in EMK's value chain, and EMK's Premier Partner status is its most important commercial relationship.

Regional players
