During tumultuous economic times,  many local units of government find themselves facing daunting financial challenges.  Following meetings with the Michigan Municipal League (MML), the Michigan Townships Association (MTA), and the Michigan Association of Counties (MAC), the Department of Treasury decided to develop a list of Local Unit Financial Advisors (LUFA) to help local units meet and overcome their challenges.

These financial advisors have had their credentials reviewed, and their backgrounds checked before being posted on this list. Any Michigan local unit of government may contact the members of this list to seek their assistance with fiscal challenges, if they so choose. Any connection made from this list will be an arm's length, fee-for-service arrangement between the local unit of government and the members of this list. The Michigan Department of Treasury, MML, MTA and the MMAC will not be parties to the agreement nor have any connection to the agreement in any way. This list of  advisors are for the review and consideration of each local unit of government for possible assistance with financial matters.
