Located at the Fire Administration Building on Burnt Mill Road, the Management Support Unit is responsible for all fiscal operations of the Fire District. This includes the maintenance of several internal controls in a system that provides reasonable assurance of meeting the Fire District's financial objectives. These objectives are; reliability of financial reporting, compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the effectiveness and efficiency of operations.

This Unit manages the Fire Districts financial affairs in the following areas;

• Budget preparation and management
  
• Accounts payable and receivable
  
• Cash management and investments
  
• Property and casualty insurances
  
• Maintain a system of internal controls to safeguard Fire District assets
  
• State pension plans - certifying officer
  
• Deferred compensation plans administration

Overseeing an agency of this size, combined with the critical importance of its mission is no small feat. Yet, the Management Support Unit has managed to not only make the Cherry Hill Fire Department a model fire district; it has also been able to win some major state and federal grants for special projects that ease the burden on our taxpayers. The members assigned to this Unit view their work in a very serious and scrutinizing manner. This style has earned them the respect of fire and public administration officials statewide.
