Business Office Quarter Close for Q2 due by December 7

Our shift to a 7-day close reflects a deliberate move toward greater order and intentional rhythm - echoing the biblical creation narrative in which God brings structure and purpose out of tohu va-bohu, the formless and void. In that same spirit, this refined process helps us bring clarity, consistency, and alignment to our financial practices.

To support this, please complete the following no later than seven days after quarter end — December 7th for Q2:

• Credit Card Reports – Submit and approve all Q2 credit card reports in Emburse

• Expense Reimbursements – Enter all Q2 reimbursement requests in Emburse

• • Expense Adjustments – Submit Q2 adjustments using the Expense Adjustment Request form

• RFPs and Invoices – Send all Q2 RFPs and related invoices to accounts-payable@bethel.edu

Please ensure all items are submitted to the Business Office by December 7th. If you have any questions or need clarification, contact accounting-services@bethel.edu.

Thank you for your partnership as we work together to bring order, clarity, and faithful stewardship to Bethel’s financial records.

Michael Johnson, University Controller
