Palm Beach’s Finance Director is Retiring after 23 Years
Jane Le Clainche, Palm Beach’s Finance Director, is retiring at the end of January. She spent 23 years with the town but is excited to move on to the next chapter of her life.
Before Palm Beach
Jane is from Michigan but spent her winters coming to Palm Beach County. As an adult, she spent a decade working for the city of Kankakee, Illinois as comptroller and collection director. After 10 years she decided it was time for a change.
Jane as Palm Beach’s Finance Director
The Palm Beach Finance Director is responsible for overseeing the financial operations of the county. He or she will work with other departments to ensure that the resources are used efficiently and effectively. The duties of the finance director include developing an annual budget, monitoring revenue sources, tracking expenditures, conducting financial analyses, formulating investment strategies, preparing reports, and presenting information.
During her 23 years of handling all of these tasks, her favorite became the budget process. She enjoyed the challenge of working with different departments to create a budget that met the needs of Palm Beach while also making sure it stayed within fiscal responsibility.
It is no surprise that Jane’s dedication, expertise, and efficiency have earned her much respect from her colleagues. She will be missed by the town, but everyone is excited for her to start this next chapter.
Her Next Chapter
Jane informed us here at the Palm Beach Record that while she will miss her friends and colleagues in Palm Beach, her next chapter will include traveling to Europe to spend time with friends and family.
Please join us in congratulating Jane Le Clainche on a well-deserved retirement. Her hard work and commitment have been instrumental in helping maintain the financial stability of Palm Beach. We hope that she enjoys a peaceful and fulfilling retirement. Good luck, Jane!
