Marin City board hears Harshwal proposal to expand accounting services
Summary
At its Jan. 26 special meeting, the Marin City Community Services District heard a presentation from Garima of Harshwal & Company LLP outlining expanded accounting services including accounts-payable processing, payroll support, budget monitoring, year-end tax work and a State Controller's Office report due Jan. 31.
Garima of Harshwal & Company LLP presented the accounting firm’s proposed services to the Marin City Community Services District during the board’s Jan. 26 special meeting. She described a scope that includes "accounts payable processing and bank reconciliations," payroll journal-entry support and revenue reporting, budget monitoring with monthly and quarterly financial statements, year-end closing and tax-form preparation, audit-preparation assistance, and preparation of the State Controller's Office financial transaction report due Jan. 31.
Board members discussed whether to transition more accounting functions to Harshwal & Company. Director Henry Mims noted that some items—specifically 1099s and 941s—are currently generated through ADP and Marin County systems and requested a follow-up meeting to explore taking over payroll processing. The presentation was listed in the minutes as "discussion only; presentation by Harshwal & Company." The board did not record a formal vote on contracting Harshwal during this session.
The proposal on the table would shift routine bookkeeping and reporting tasks to an outside firm and provide support for audits and year-end filings. The board will consider next steps after follow-up conversations about payroll and integration with existing County and ADP processes; no contract award or authorization was recorded in these minutes.
