The people we elect to lead our local governments have many responsibilities. The budget process affects all aspects of municipal operations, making finance management an essential role of civic duty. Especially for political newcomers, this is an extremely important topic to understand. That’s why each year, Bowman & Company LLP presents a seminar on the municipal budget process. By providing our knowledge, we help the elected officials of New Jersey make efficient and informed decisions. Recently, Bowman successfully hosted our 35th annual municipal budget seminar.
This year, Bowman presented our seminar for two nights to both in-person and virtual attendees. The seminar is organized and led by Bowman’s Michael Cesaro, CPA, RMA, PSA, CMFO (Managing Partner Emeritus), Evan Palmer, CPA, RMA, PSA, CMFO (Partner), and Kenneth Drewes CPA, RMA, PSA, CMFO (Partner).
Bowman & Company LLP is highly qualified to speak on the municipal budget process; we have the largest governmental services practice of any CPA firm in the region, including over twenty Registered Municipal Accountants and Public School Accountants. We audit dozens of governmental entities, three of which have been clients since our Firm’s founding over 85 years ago. With that amount of experience, we’re deeply familiar with all the common mistakes that can happen while creating budgets. Our goal is to provide our clients with the knowledge to prevent those mistakes.
One local official had this to say about Bowman’s 2025 budget seminar: “I enjoyed learning about the budgeting process. This is my first time on the finance committee, and this gave me a solid foundation moving forward. Great energy and humor throughout the presentation. Thank you!”
Another official shared this feedback with Bowman: “I’ve taken this course several years, and it seems to get better each time. The information is laid out well and easy to understand.”
