Benton County Welcomes Greg Munn as Chief Financial Officer

Benton County is pleased to announce that Greg Munn will serve as the County’s Chief Financial Officer beginning November 18, 2024.

Munn will oversee a biennial County budget of more than $500 million which supports public safety, health services, park facilities, public works, juvenile services, corrections and probation, community development, internal administrative support, assessment and tax collection, and other services. Additionally, the CFO serves as the financial advisor to the County Administrator and Board of Commissioners and works to ensure prudent accounting and finance practices that help support and maintain the County’s excellent credit ratio of Aa2, which was upgraded in May 2023. 

Munn is currently the treasurer and chief financial officer for Washington County, Oregon, a position he has held since 2022. Prior to joining Washington County, he served as the elected treasurer and chief financial officer for Deschutes County, Oregon, and the chief financial officer for the High Desert Education Service District headquartered in Redmond, Oregon. He also provided administration and financial management to the school districts in Crook and Jefferson counties and Clark County, Washington.

“The County has recruited a finance leader with decades of experience in local government and county financial management,” said County Administrator Rachel McEneny. “Greg brings best practices, strong internal controls, and an understanding of our economy as we build and forecast our new biennial budget.” 

Munn began his career as a financial analyst, accountant, and manager for a variety of private-sector employers, including an outdoor recreation business he created called High Desert Adventures. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business finance from Central Washington University.

“I am confident in Greg’s vision, knowledge, and experience. His successes are a testament to his record of balanced and responsible budgets,” said McEneny.
