Purpose

What does the Finance Department do? West Goshen Township's Finance Department oversees all of the Township's financial transactions under the supervision of the Board of Supervisors and the Township Manager.

The department concentrates the majority of its efforts in the areas of:

• Utility billing
• Accounts payable and receivable
• Employee benefits administration
• And most importantly, budgeting

Billing

Billing personnel invoice and collect payment for refuse collection and wastewater treatment service from residents and commercial entities 4 times per year. They also serve as the initial contact for service-related disputes.

Accounts Payable & Receivable

Accounts payable and receivable personnel contribute to the smooth daily operation of the Township through timely payment and collection of amounts owed to vendors and due from various individuals and organizations. 

Employee Benefits Administration & Payroll

In addition to processing payroll, employee benefits personnel focus efforts on cost-effective and equitable insurance plan design, and the administration of those plans to eligible employees.
