Department of Financial Services

The Department of Financial Services, led by the state’s elected Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and State Fire Marshal, provides assistance to Floridians on a wide range of consumer-driven topics including insurance and financial education, fire prevention and safety and unclaimed property. The department fights financial fraud, waste and abuse in Florida; audits the state’s payments; and works to make government’s finances transparent. Under the CFO’s direction, the department also oversees the investment of funds held in the State Treasury.
