The Town Treasurer plays a vital role in the management of the finances of the Town. The Town Treasurer's responsibilities include keeping the Town's financial accounts, investing Town money, keeping a record of the taxes voted and paying the bills when orders to do so are properly submitted. The Treasurer must work with the auditors to settle Town accounts prior to the annual meeting, and he or she is often called upon to provide the Selectboard with information about Town finances. he annual town meeting
