The City of Savannah, Georgia, has adopted the Revenue Advantage Program, a service offered through the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) and powered by HdL Companies, to strengthen its local revenue management strategies and integrate advanced data analytics.

HdL Companies, an employee-owned firm specializing in municipal finance, provides revenue enhancement, technology, and consulting services to local governments. The company processes over $450 million in taxes annually and maintains a 99% client retention rate across more than 900 agencies nationwide, having recovered over $4 billion in revenue since its inception in 1983.

Andy Nickerson, President and CEO of HdL Companies, stated, “Our goal is to provide tailored revenue management solutions that strengthen communities, support compliance, and streamline operations.” The firm’s solutions are designed to simplify complex municipal revenue processes, aiming to improve compliance, reduce administrative burden, and enhance public services for participating cities like Savannah.

The Georgia Municipal Association developed the Revenue Advantage Program to equip cities across Georgia with tools and expertise for improved administration and collection of local revenues. HdL Companies powers this program, offering services that include tax analysis, business license compliance, and local tax administration software and support.

Darin Jenkins, Director of Corporate Engagement at GMA, commented on the program’s significance: “The mission of the Georgia Municipal Association is to anticipate and influence the forces shaping Georgia’s cities and to provide leadership, tools, and services that help local governments be more effective and responsive. The Revenue Advantage Program, powered by HdL Companies, is one of the ways we’re helping cities manage their finances more strategically.”
