WHERE FISCAL EXCELLENCE BEGINS

The divisions of the Finance Department include Administration, Accounting, Risk Management, Treasury Management, and the Grants Accounting and Budgeting Division. Each serves with an eye to the efficiency that enables us to offer the citizens of Hillsborough County the most affordable transportation options possible. Read on to learn how we are working to serve you every day.

Administration

Administration oversees the operations of the Department and serves as quality controller of external departmental comprehensive reports. The division also assists external auditors and formulates policies for financial operating efficiency in other departments. We are led by David Persaud, HART’s Chief Financial Officer, who can be reached at 813-623-5835.

Accounting

The primary responsibility of the Accounting Division is to ensure that adequate funds are maintained for all disbursements of HART in both payroll and accounts payable areas. The Division is also responsible for the processing of all transactions through the Fleet-Net information system and the distribution of management and departmental reports that are generated by the system.

Risk Management

Risk Management supervises programs in the areas of workers’ compensation, loss prevention, property, casualty and other self-insurance programs, and ensures compliance with all environmental issues. The Division minimizes dollar losses through planning, organizing, directing and controlling the resources and activities of HART. Risk Management also provides investigative services on claims arising out of automobile liability, general liability and public officials’ professional liability and monitors Workers' Compensation and related legal expenditures being handled by a third-party administrator.

Treasury

Our Treasury division accounts for and monitors all revenues received by HART. The Division assures sufficiency of working capital by making funds available when needed and maximizes return on capital through the administration of a prudent investment program.

Grants Accounting and Budget

The Grants Accounting and Budget Division is primarily responsible for coordinating the preparation of HART's budget and review processes, and monitoring budget expenditures. The Division also performs research and cost-benefit analysis of proposed HART projects. The financial services and financial areas are primarily responsible for financial accounting and reporting. The grant accounting division is responsible for grant administration and compliance.
