Detroit, MI – The Third Judicial Circuit of Michigan has hired Thomas J. Harrell as its new CFO effective last week. Harrell is working with outgoing CFO Lyn Roberts, who is leaving to pursue other opportunities, during a short transition period. 

Harrell previously served as Director of Fiscal Services for Southfield Public Schools where he managed district-allocated finance, handled financial compliance, ran all internal controls and financial audits, and was in charge of budgetary processes and investment strategies.
