The municipal finance platform, built — not just promised.

Why Tiro

Built, not just promised.

Most municipal software means a multi-year rollout and a support ticket. Tiro means a platform that already works — and a person who answers.

01

A working app

Not a roadmap or a pitch deck — a platform that already runs the lifecycle.

02

mSCOA-native

Designed around the chart and National Treasury rules from day one, not bolted on.

03

Founder-led

Direct expertise and fast turnaround — no call-centre queue, no account layers.

04

Compliance-first

Every output ties back to MFMA, NT and an audit-ready trail with tenant isolation.

Who we serve

Built for the people who run municipal finance

From the district CFO to the desk that captures the data string — Tiro fits the whole finance function.

District & local municipalities

One platform across the IDP, budget, reporting and procurement mandate.

CFOs & the BTO

Credible numbers, defensible submissions and a clean line to a clean audit.

Finance & budget teams

Less re-keying, fewer rejections — the data string is right the first time.

Internal audit & SCM

Separation of duties, immutable evidence and an AGSA-ready audit trail.

How we work

A clear path to a clean audit

No big-bang rollout — four steps, each one delivering something you can use.

01

Diagnose

A data-string and chain-credibility review — we find what National Treasury will reject before they do.

02

Implement

Stand up the platform, configured to your chart, your funding mix and your cycle.

03

Report

MBRR, s71/s72 and annual financial statements generated from your trial balance and journals — reconciled and NT-ready.

04

Sustain

Updates that track every new regulation, plus training so your team owns it.
