The OSSU Business Office team is dedicated to providing clarity, transparency and clear communications surrounding all financial aspects of business operations at Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union. OSSU consists of 6 schools, 5 school districts, and 1 supervisory union and a total of $31 million dollars of annual expenses.

The Business Operations team maintains the following areas of responsibility: accounts payable, payroll, asset management, cash management, grants management, risk management, general ledger accounting and reporting, school nutrition reporting, budget development and review, contract review, benefit management and human resources management.

The OSSU Business Office team is expected to operate at the highest level of accuracy and maintain efficiency while meeting the statutory requirements set by the state of Vermont.

Annually the Business Operations team undergoes a yearly audit for each school district and supervisory union with an outside CPA auditing firm. This audit, along with the many various state and federal reporting requirements that occur throughout each year, ensures that all federal and state mandates are being followed and full compliance is maintained.
