Financial Transparency

City Treasurer's Office 

The City Treasurer's Office manages and oversees the financial operations of the City of Osage Beach. This includes keeping accurate, publicly available financial records so taxpayers can see exactly where their money is going. 

The Treasurer's Office is led by the City Treasurer, who provides financial advice to the Mayor, Board of Aldermen, and other officials to help them make informed decisions about the city's budget and spending.

The financial team consists of an Accounting Specialist, who helps with financial records and reports; a Utility Billing Clerk, who handles water and sewer payments; an Accounts Receivable Clerk, who tracks money owed to the city; and an Accounts Payable/Payroll Clerk, who manages expenses and employee payroll.

Here's a brief overview of what we do:

Financial Reports

The City of Osage Beach provides several financial reports to promote transparency and accountability to taxpayers: 

• Monthly Financial Reports offer an overview of the City's financial position, including revenues, expenditures, cash balances, and budget comparisons. These unaudited reports are typically available within the first week of each month. 
• Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) is a detailed, audited report prepared in collaboration with external auditors, following GASB and GFOA standards. The City has received the GFOA Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting since 1998. The ACFR is usually published by the end of June following the fiscal year-end. 
• Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Reports track active TIF projects within the city, providing insight into economic development efforts. 
• Annual Operating Budget, prepared by the City Administrator’s Office with the Treasurer’s assistance, outlines the City’s financial needs and resources for the upcoming year, beginning each January 1st.
