The Administrator II's (Fiscal Chief) primary responsibility is to oversee all budgetary, accounting and other fiscal matters of assigned programs housed within the Administration, which has an annual budget of approximately $351.2 million consisting of General, Federal, Special and Reimbursable Funds and approximately 500 regular and contractual staff.

This position provides supervision and training to subordinate fiscal staff to ensure consistency in fiscal management within the Prevention and Health Promotion Administration (PHPA). Additionally, this position shares responsibility as a coordinator of all FMIS tracking activities and for developing and maintaining PHPA's internal financial tracking systems, and ensures the accurate completion of federal fiscal reports in assigned program areas.
