Bank Reconciliation Training   The monthly posting and closing all records and reconciling with the proper bank accounts as promptly as possible is a monthly duty for every Clerk-Treasurer and a requirement of the State Board of Accounts.   Preparing accurate financial reports comes directly from correct bank reconciliations.  Training includes how to prepare a check register and revenue report to match debits and credits on a bank statement, how to interpret a bank statement and helpful tips to balance a bank statement.  The end result will be the knowledge to prepare and complete monthly bank reconciliations not relying on an outside consultant to do the work and saving the town or city money.

Bank Reconciliation Service   There are many times a new Clerk-Treasurer takes office and the bank statements won’t match the fund reports.  The Clerk-Treasurer usually doesn’t know how or where to begin to balance the bank statements, how accurate are the funds and how much money the city or town actually has.  The bank reconciliation service includes reconciling prior months or years of bank statements to the current month and year.  This allows the Clerk-Treasurer to focus on learning the office without the worry of bank reconciliation.  The end result will be bank statements reconciled to the current month and year, accurate fund reports and a useful tool for future budgets.

Annual Budget Preparation  Training the Clerk-Treasurer to prepare the annual budget through the state website Gateway with full explanation of the various forms and how they work in the budget process.

Filing Annual State Board of Accounts Report    The timely filing of the State Board of Accounts Annual Report is critical.  Training includes teaching the year end budget rollover process, creating and uploading the annual report into the Gateway System and assisting in correcting system errors which can occur prior to submitting the annual report.

Clerk-Treasurer on the Job Training  This service includes a one day site visit to access the level of training needed, the accuracy of bank reconciliation and a brief explanation of the Clerk-Treasurers duties and responsibilities.  Once the level of training is determined a customized schedule will be formed with follow up visits, phone and email consultations.  The end result will be overall confidence and full knowledge of the office.
