SoHE's Resource For Financial Questions.

Welcome to the SoHE Business Office    

The Business Office is responsible for managing SoHE’s financial resources through the annual budget process, monitoring budgets, and preparing long-term financial forecasts.  It also oversees the primary business processes including payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and expense reimbursement.  In addition, we are available to assist with navigating UW policies related to procurement, travel, research participant payments, cash advances, and events.  The Business Office can also assist with interdepartmental account setup for DoIT, Fleet, Transportation Services and Physical Plant.

As always, the Business Office is available to answer any and all of your questions; in fact, questions are encouraged. We would prefer to process transactions right the first time rather than try to clean up problems after-the-fact. The potential consequences of the DIY-method may mean incomplete reimbursement.

We are located in room 2117 at Nancy Nicholas Hall.
