It is the mission of the Village of Oswego’s Finance Department to provide quality customer service by giving complete and accurate financial management support in an efficient and timely manner. This dedication and commitment to excellence has been recognized nationally by the Government Finance Officers’ Association which has presented the department with the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting and the Distinguished Budget Award for more than 10 consecutive years.

The Finance Department is responsible for the proper accounting, budgeting/financial reporting of all Village Funds, establishment/monitoring of internal controls, preparation/coordination of the annual budget, long term financial forecast and capital planning processes. The department also is responsible for the annual audit of Village financial data, preparing annual tax levies, cash receipt collections, payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable and billing, utility billing and collection and reception duties for incoming calls and visitors to Village Hall. Purchasing and technology also fall under the supervision of the department.

Part of our job is to assist residents in understanding their local government's revenues and expenditures. We publish the Comprehensive Financial Annual Report (AFR). The AFR is a good resource to quickly review the finances and organization of this government.

The department also provides financial reports and analyses to assist the Village Board, the Village Administrator, and operating departments in their decision making.
