Finance Overview

Finance seeks to provide exceptional services that strengthen The New School’s stewardship, operational effectiveness, and community of learning and is responsible for central financial services essential to supporting the students, faculty, and staff of the university, as well as external partners.

We pursue this by fostering partnerships with the campus community, taking a leadership role in the development and support of university planning efforts, and improving administrative processes through technology and redesign to create efficient, accurate, and timely business processes and services.

Our primary functions include accounting, budget planning, procurement, investments and risk management, real estate and bonds/debt, and tax compliance. The office is an integrated group of teams that support students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
