In 2023, the state Department of Revenue recommended that Wellfleet implement management changes, emphasizing the need for a dedicated finance director. In response to this guidance, the Wellfleet Selectboard has taken significant steps toward fulfilling this recommendation. During a recent meeting, board members discussed the qualifications and responsibilities that the new finance director will hold, aiming to enhance the town's financial oversight and management capabilities.
The Selectboard recognizes the importance of having a qualified finance director to ensure transparency and efficiency in the town’s financial operations. This role is expected to facilitate better budgeting processes, improve financial reporting, and provide strategic guidance for the town’s fiscal health.
