Treasury
Securing Colorado’s Future
Serving as the State of Colorado’s bank, the Department of the Treasury is responsible for safeguarding and managing public funds with efficiency and transparency. This means our staff makes sure every tax dollar gets to the right place at the right time.
Led by Treasurer Dave Young, our Treasury takes this work one step further by pioneering forward-thinking programs designed to uplift and empower every Coloradan. This isn’t just a job for us — it’s a mission driven by a deep commitment to collective financial security in our state.
"I am proud to serve Colorado and eager to confront our state's greatest challenges. At the Treasury, we're a small but mighty team working hard to improve the financial wellbeing of all Coloradans."
