Meet the Team
We know the challenges of running the day-to-day operations including journal entries, budget adjustments, forecasting, and being aware of upcoming legislation that may affect the future of your school district. We also know that monthly and/or quarterly financial reports must be completed while preparing for the annual audit of the previous fiscal year and constructing a new budget for the next fiscal year. Additionally we understand the need to successfully work with Human Resources as to compensation, especially since typically over 80% of a district’s expenditures are salary and benefits. We also understand that financial services can include procurement, food services and transportation.
