Chimahusky will be working alongside current Finance Specialist Jan Miller, who will be retiring at the end of June. Chimahusky will be housed at the ADAMH Board’s Crawford office in Bucyrus.
Chimahusky has served as an Assistant Auditor III at the Ohio Auditor of State since 2014, where he conducted in-depth analysis of local government financial statements. He performed risk assessments of governmental financial statement controls and risk analysis of macroeconomic and industry level conditions to develop appropriate audit planning strategies. While there, Chimahusky studied accounts payable and accounts receivable processes and made recommendations on best practice procedures. He also prepared further recommendations to improve and clarify entity controls, policy, and compliance with Federal and State requirements. Additionally he gained understanding of and performed testing over Federal awards to ensure compliance with Federal requirements for Single Audit reporting.
Chimahusky received a Bachelor’s of Business Administration, with a double major in finance and accounting, from Tiffin University in 2013. He served eight years with the U.S. Army Reserves, with one year active-duty deployment experience. He was honorably discharged as a Non-Commissioned Officer in 2010.
In his new role with the Crawford-Marion ADAMH Board, Chimahusky will be responsible for the financial operations, payroll, and fiscal reporting of the board and related interactions with other governmental and non-profit entities. He will perform financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting, and will prepare and monitor the board budget and financial policies and procedures, in consultation with the Executive Director. In addition, Chimahusky will prepare for and coordinate annual state audits and reviews.
Regarding the new finance director, Executive Director Brad DeCamp stated, "I'm pleased to have someone of David's caliber on staff. His experience with the auditor of state and understanding of local government finance will be a huge asset to our board." In appreciation of Miller’s dedication, DeCamp noted, "Jan has gone over and above the call of duty regularly during her time with the board. Her experience has been a lifesaver to me as a new director and I will be forever grateful for her staying on to ensure continuity."
