The Controller's Office serves the entire University of Minnesota system. Our organization is collectively responsible for supporting departments, colleges, and campuses in their financial operations. If you conduct the business, we've got the tools, systems, procedures, and policies to get the work done. Our goal is to make the business of the University efficient and cost-effective, so people can focus on teaching, research, and outreach.
Our departments perform a wide range of services focused on reducing costs and increasing efficiency. We are also responsible for supporting the University's enterprise financial systems. Processes, systems, and controls are designed so that the University has timely, accurate, and complete financial information for decision making.
For our own team members, we strive to create a positive environment that fosters talent.
