We provide training for these reports including in-person sessions, step-by-step videos, and online reference materials. &nbsp;We work directly with departments who want to take credit card payments utilizing e-Commerce websites that can securely process online credit card payments or devices which can securely process in-person credit card payments. We also coordinate the Business Services Website and ensure that all forms, policies, and contacts are up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"card card-profile vcard tease tease-profile card-figure card-figure-left\" id=\"tease-7491\">\n      <div class=\"card-figure card-figure-padded\">\n\t         <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Aimee Baxter\" style=\"width: auto; max-width: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/business-services\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/637\/2013\/07\/Aimee-Baxter-2022-150x0-c-default.jpg\" \/>\n\t\t   <\/div>\n   <div class=\"card-body\">\n      <ul>\n         <li class=\"fn\">\n                           Aimee Baxter\n                     <\/li>\n         <li class=\"title\">\n            Business Service Systems Manager\n         <\/li>\n\t      \t                  <li class=\"email\"><a class=\"email\" href=\"mailto:abaxter@macalester.edu\" >abaxter@macalester.edu<\/a><\/li>\n\t\t   \t      \t\t  <li>651-696-6696<\/li>\n\t      \t            <\/ul>\n             \n         <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"card card-profile vcard tease tease-profile card-figure card-figure-left\" id=\"tease-11709\">\n      <div class=\"card-figure card-figure-padded\">\n\t         <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Kasey McMaster\" style=\"width: auto; max-width: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/business-services\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/637\/2026\/02\/Kasey-McMaster-150x0-c-default.jpg\" \/>\n\t\t   <\/div>\n   <div class=\"card-body\">\n      <ul>\n         <li class=\"fn\">\n                           Kasey McMaster\n                     <\/li>\n         <li class=\"title\">\n            Business Services Systems Manager\n         <\/li>\n\t      \t                  <li class=\"email\"><a class=\"email\" href=\"mailto:kmcmaste@macalester.edu\" >kmcmaste@macalester.edu<\/a><\/li>\n\t\t   \t      \t\t  <li>651-696-6745<\/li>\n\t      \t            <\/ul>\n             \n         <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business Services The Business Services Team has direct responsibility for Accounting (including audit and tax), Grants Administration, Purchasing and Accounts Payable, Budgeting, Cash Management, Cashiering, Student Accounts, Risk Management, Financial Systems and Payroll.&nbsp; &nbsp;We also provide oversight to the following outsourced services: Highlander -The Shop at Macalester,&nbsp;Vending, Central Receiving, Document Services, Mailing Services, and Dining [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-229","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/business-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/business-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/business-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/business-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/business-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229"}],"version-history":[{"count":238,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/business-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/229\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11727,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/business-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/229\/revisions\/11727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/business-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
