Finance & Accounting

The Finance and Accounting Office is under the direction of the Division of Resources and directs, coordinates, and accounts for the financial affairs of the Diocese of Oakland’s central services administration. These affairs and activities are broad and myriad in nature. Diocesan financing, investments management, and operation of its Diocesan Deposit & Loan Fund (the Diocese’s internal savings and loan program for its parishes, schools, and other entities) are all responsibilities of the Finance & Accounting Office. This unit also supports and reviews the preparation of operating budgets and annual financial reports by all Diocesan parishes and missions. Related, ongoing training and support to parish leaders and accounting personnel is provided through periodic workshops and communications.
