Finance

Welcome to the Finance Department

The Finance Department receives and accounts for all funds paid to the City and disburses all funds for compensation to employees and services rendered to the City. The department is responsible for prudently managing the City’s debt and investments, preparing the annual budget and capital improvement plan, valuing and tracking its infrastructure and fixed assets, overseeing the annual audit, and providing timely and insightful financial information to assist the Council and City administration in its planning and decision making. The department maintains the City’s MUNIS central accounting system, which provides real time revenue and expense information to all City departments including the School and the water and sewer enterprise funds.

The department has two divisions described below, staffed by a total of seven employees. While its funds flow through and are overseen by the City, the School Department has its own Business Manager and Financial Assistant who manage School finances, including input of School payroll, accounts payable and general billing, administration of School employee benefits, and preparation of the School budget.

The City of Brewer is an equal opportunity employer and service provider.
