The incumbent has a broad knowledge around government-wide financial management policies and practices, as well as the use of core financial management systems. The FM QSMO strives to deliver the marketplace with “Best in Class” services available to all agencies, delivering benefits including ease of entry through pre-established contracts, quick and timely access to innovations, and lower cost of offerings.
The Executive Director’s actions and decisions significantly impact the outcome and results of the program and the accomplishment of Fiscal Service’s mission as a central financial agency.
