City Outsources Accounting Jobs

Saginaw, Mich., is eliminating four accounting jobs and have the accounting firm Plante & Moran take on their work. The positions were in the city controller's office.

The company, which has 10 Michigan offices, will oversee controller's operations for three years at $225,000 annually. At least two of the company's workers would have offices in City Hall.

The city would save $150,000 annually in personnel by outsourcing the controller's office, City Manager Darnell Earley said. The controller's office keeps tabs on revenues and expenditures for each city department.
