Message from the Director
Welcome to the website of the Office of Financial Services at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. It is our goal to serve the university community regarding general accounting, accounts payable, fixed assets, payroll, reconciliations, and financial reporting with the highest level of professionalism.
We strive to maintain the accounting records of the university, provide accurate and timely reporting and ensure fiscal documents are processed in the best interest of the university and in compliance with state and federal laws along with University of Arkansas System and UA Little Rock policies.
Although we often work behind the scenes, the outcomes of our efforts are apparent when vendors, employees, and campus departments find that their Financial Services experience exceeds their expectations. None of this would be possible without the contributions of the financial services staff. We look forward to serving you.
Nicole Bolin
Director of Financial Services
