Finance

The Town Accountant has a principal role in determining the Town's financial stability. The Town Accountant is responsible for the monitoring of all Town accounts and the issuance of reports having to do with the receipt and expenditure of the Town funds. Department heads look to the Town Accountant's office for the data they must have for their use in developing financial forecasts, planning budgets, and, in general for the efficient management of their department.

As Town Accountant, I strive to keep abreast of the work of the departments and other developments in Town, in order that I may be in the best position to analyze the data gathered and produce the reports that have the most meaning. The information derived from the Town Accountant must be accurate, verifiable, and in keeping with established standards promulgated by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
