Fiscal Impact & User Fee Analyst

AlphaGov delivers public-sector consulting for cities, counties, school systems, special districts, utilities, and related agencies. Our work spans classification and compensation, organizational and operational studies, research and program evaluation, economic and workforce analysis, surveys and community research, and applied data and infrastructure research.

We engage experienced practitioners as project-based collaborators. Engagements are remote-first with occasional client travel. When you authorize it, AlphaGov may name you as an expert collaborator or key personnel on proposals that match your expertise. We build ready teams for live pursuits - not speculative staffing banks.

AlphaGov is building a bench of public finance analysts who prepare fiscal impact, user fee, and cost of services studies for cities, counties, and special districts. You would show elected officials what new development, programs, and services cost and how fees and revenues can cover those costs.

We confirm scope, schedule, and fee with you before any engagement begins.

• Build fiscal impact models for new development, annexations, and land use scenarios
• Prepare user fee and cost of services studies with full cost recovery analysis
• Analyze budgets, staff time, and indirect cost allocations to build fully loaded rates
• Compare fees and revenue options with peer jurisdictions
• Model multi-year revenue, cost, and fund impacts
• Write reports and present recommendations to councils, boards, and finance staff
