Welcome to the Home Site of the City of Raleigh Finance Department!
In performing a wide variety of functions, our Finance employees strive to always provide a quality service to over 360,000 citizens of Raleigh, 152,000 utility customers, 4000 employees within the City and, of course, to City Management and the City Council. The Mission Statement shown below states our departmental vision and our underlying operating principles. I hope that you'll take a minute to read it.
The Finance Department operates as a support area within the City of Raleigh and reports to the City Manager. Our services include treasury functions, accounting, purchasing, revenue management, payroll, utility billing, audits, financial reporting and risk management. You will find more information on these areas within this site.
You will note that many of our applications allow you to do business with us through the web. Technology has become a tool that helps us do our job better and also helps those who desire our services by giving easier and faster access to relevant information. The web pages for the Finance Department were developed, however, with the central objective of providing services within our philosophy of "people helping people". Therefore, you will note throughout our pages the contact names of the responsible staff in each area. Should you need assistance on any of the areas in our department, feel free to contact one of us directly.
Our goal is to continue to evolve and improve these to meet your needs. I encourage you to send any ideas on how we can improve the Finance Department's site to our Finance Web Page Coordinator Michael Corson at Michael.Corson@ci.raleigh.nc.us.
Again, thanks for visiting our web-site. If I can be of assistance to you, please contact me at Perry.James@ci.raleigh.nc.us.
