The department is also responsible for debt administration, tax administration, cash management, and bi-annual audit. The department has consistently earned the Auditor of State's highest rating, an unqualified opinion.

The Finance Department maintains the village accounting system and prepares reports for the Mayor, Council, Cuyahoga County, and the state of Ohio. Regular departmental activities include preparing invoices, receiving revenue, paying bills, and paying village employees.
