The Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) mission is to ensure the effective and efficient use of resources in order to sustain the delivery of quality services for the residents of Mesa.
The Office of Management and Budget develops and manages the annual operating budget and the five-year capital improvement program.
> It forecasts city-wide revenues, expenditures and fund balances; conducts special projects; and administers the City's performance excellence, which provides process improvement, performance management and strategic planning services to city organizations.
In addition, OMB is home to the Management Analyst Team, which recruits talented professionals interested in a career in public service.

The City of Mesa’s Management Analyst Team is designed for promising professionals that are interested in a career in public service. This is a permanent position that provides career development in local government while allowing individuals to develop and strengthen professional skills. This multi-year program is an opportunity to gain valuable experience in local government management and finance.
Management Analysts start in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) helping to develop and manage the components of the City’s budget. After one to two years in OMB, Management Analysts spend the next two years rotating through various City departments and providing management assistance.
