Beth Ford, CPA, Pima County Treasurer


Beth Ford

Beth Ford is currently serving her third term as Pima County Treasurer. She first took office in January 2001. She earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Arizona with a major in Accounting. In 1988 Beth became a Certified Public Accountant. She is a member of the Government Finance Officer's Association. She serves as Vice-President of the Arizona Association of County Treasurers where she previously served as President.

Her professional career began as a staff accountant with the Tucson accounting firm Cotton, Parker, Johnson and Co. P.C. She began her government service with the Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) and was promoted to Financial Services Manager. During her tenure with TUSD, the district received their first Certificate of Excellence awards for the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report from both the Government Finance Officers Association and the Association of School Business Officials.

Some of Beth's accomplishments as Pima County Treasurer include increased operating efficiencies and effectiveness from successful relationships with other Pima County agencies to improved procedural changes through automation improvements. She developed an investment program, consistently generating additional income for Pima County's political subdivisions that would have otherwise been raised through taxes.

Beth is a firm believer in the power of automation and guides and facilitates in-house software development for the accounting and tax payment functions. Tax payment and distribution of tax revenues to Pima County's political subdivisions is done in a timely manner. She has been instrumental in offering "Transparency in Government" as she guides the office into an on-line banking service environment for Pima County agencies. As a result of those improvements, she has reduced operating costs, while expanding services.
