Mitch Alger’s team performs the work that keeps government running
From Steuben County NY,
Behind every county budget and financial report is a team working to ensure taxpayer dollars are managed responsibly. Steuben County’s Finance Department plays a vital role in maintaining financial accountability, supporting County operations, and protecting the public’s trust.
Led by Commissioner of Finance Mitch Alger, the department oversees essential responsibilities including budget support, accounting, payroll, accounts payable, cash management, investments, debt oversight, and real property tax-related administration.
Their work goes far beyond balancing the books. Through careful financial oversight, accurate recordkeeping, and collaboration with County departments, the Finance team helps County leadership make informed decisions, meet financial obligations and manage public resources responsibly.
Much of this work happens behind the scenes, but it is essential to keeping County government running efficiently and ensuring taxpayer dollars are handled with care.
“Managing public finances is about more than numbers. It is about accountability, transparency, and the trust our residents place in County government. Our Finance Department team works diligently every day to ensure our financial operations remain sound and our resources are managed responsibly. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to public service make a real difference for Steuben County. I am proud of this team and grateful for everything they do,” said Commissioner Mitch Alger.
Steuben County recognizes and thanks the dedicated professionals who work year-round to safeguard public resources, support County departments, and maintain the financial integrity of local government.
Their work may happen behind the scenes, but its impact reaches every corner of Steuben County.
