Formerly a part of the Town’s Administration, the Finance Department was created due to a consolidation of functions and the impact on the town’s fiscal operations in accordance with the North Carolina Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act.  Under the direction of the Town Finance Officer the department now administers and provides control and guidance for all financial matters to the Town while complying with all applicable Town, State and Federal mandates.  The department oversees daily finance related operations including collections, disbursements, and payroll while maintaining necessary accounting records and reports to assist the Town Manager, Department Heads and Elected Officials with the adopted budget and financial objectives for the current fiscal year.
