The Business Services Department provides a reliable, knowledgeable infrastructure of business, administrative, and financial services to Monterey County's 24 school districts, 2 community colleges, and 5 joint powers agencies.

We provide comprehensive payroll, budgeting, and accounting systems, which enable districts to more efficiently plan, record, maintain, and report financial transactions.

The Business Services Department also provides fiscal oversight to the school districts in the County. We review the district budgets, review the unaudited financial statements, analyze first and second interim reports, intervene on behalf of financially troubled districts, and follow up on certain district audit exceptions.

The professionals in the Business Services Department have varied backgrounds and experiences, from business administration and accounting to payroll and recordkeeping. By performing legally mandated services and technical advice to districts, the Business Services Department is providing a vehicle of support to district financial operations.
