Tennessee’s Professional Privilege Tax

Dave Goetz Commissioner

The department's mission is to provide continually improving financial and administrative support services which enhance state government's ability to improve the quality of life for Tennesseans.

The department also acts as the chief corporate office of state government. Many complex processes are required to achieve this mission. The governor's proposed budget for state government is developed with the oversight of the commissioner, the governor's chief financial officer. Centralized accounting and financial reporting of the state's financial activity is also managed by the department. Other processes which provide state government with the necessary infrastructure to work effectively are an information resources service, capital project management, real property management, employee insurance administration, and resource development and support.

The department has received various national awards for excellence in budget preparation, financial reporting, financial management, portal initiatives and information systems management.
