I am so proud to lead this ongoing mission of integrity and superior quality in managing the county’s money. This recognition by our peers means that we do a tremendous job at being accountable to our community. It highlights the commitment and real sense of responsibility within our department to accurately, clearly and honestly share the county’s financial condition with the taxpayers and other interested parties.
The Department of Finance collects and invests revenues in a fiscally responsible manner; provides financial services to taxpayers, businesses, agencies, residents and employees; and pays bills for the county.
