Financial Operations

The Financial Operations Team oversees and coordinates the fiscal operations of each assigned department. Team members manage and supervise all aspects of accounting, budgeting, auditing, and other financial activities within their assigned unit. The team also supports faculty with the financial preparation of contracts and grants, administers awarded grants and contracts, and works closely with the College and University Contracts and Grants Offices. By ensuring accuracy and integrity in all financial processes, we help maintain the department’s financial affairs.
