The treasurer is responsible for keeping track of, and improving the organization’s finances. This includes the following:

• Making a budget and getting it approved by the committee and A-eskwadraat.
• Tracking expenses made by the organization (deductible from budget), and making sure that people owing money due to these expenses are reimbursed.
• Tracking and redistributing expenses made by the musicians and the committee specifically (not covered by budget). Think Rehearsal weekend costs for groceries and maybe even transportation. Responsibility for redistributing expenses for things like ordered food may be shifted to others (like the person that ordered the food or, in this specific case, the Hospitality manager ). How to deal with what expenses (e.g., which one to cover, how to distribute them, etc.) can be decided upon by the committee. For committee expenses, a tool like Splitser may be used.
• For the responsibilities above, especially that of tracking expenses deductible from budget, it’s important to make sure people file reimbursements correctly.
• Communicating with the venue about the contract. This includes initiating contact with them after the committee has decided on things like the date of the show and desired capacity. As soon as the venue needs details like a Rider, responsibility is shifted to the Production manager, or in other cases, the Chairperson. In this case, the treasurer is responsible for ensuring this responsibility is successfully shifted and picked up by other committee members.
• Finding and managing sources of income. These can be sources like the Utrechts Universiteitsfonds, but also possible external ones like sponsorships. Not finding additional sources of income is not a deal-breaker, but it is appreciated.

A-eskwadraat organizes a training for treasurers at the start of every year. It is advised to attend that training.
