Scotty isn't a startup — it's the evolution of two decades of excellence. Built by The Performa Group, we have spent 20 years developing the financial systems (BIDS Budget Universe) that power government. Scotty is the bridge between our legacy of security and the future of AI.
Our Foundation
For over two decades, The Performa Group has been the silent backbone of government financial infrastructure. We built BIDS (Budget Intelligence & Decision System) and the financial reporting tools that state and federal agencies rely on daily.
Scotty AI was born from a simple insight: our clients didn't need another dashboard. They needed an intelligent partner that could translate decades of financial data into clear, actionable decisions in seconds.
This isn't a pivot or a rebrand. It's a natural evolution — the same mission-critical standards applied to a new frontier.
Executive Leadership
Executive Biography
A visionary leader at the intersection of government finance and digital transformation. With a career spanning over two decades, Brendan has pioneered secure, high-performance financial systems for state and federal agencies — establishing The Performa Group as the gold standard for government IT integrity.
His conviction: that the same rigor that built the BIDS Budget Universe could be applied to artificial intelligence — not to replace human judgment, but to make it dramatically more powerful and precise.
"We didn't build Scotty to replace legislative expertise. We built it to give that expertise a 10x multiplier in speed and precision."— Brendan Hayes, CEO of The Performa Group
