Additional Resources
Below are additional resources related to the office of Quaestor. These resources may not be part of the Quaestor Officer Training Academy Curriculum and are provided here to aid in typical financial operations of a Sigma Chi chapter.

A dues calculator file, similar to the Budget Builder, has been created to help you and your Recruitment Chairman explain your chapter's dues structure to both brothers and potential new members. Click on the video for training on using the Sigma Chi Dues Calculator.
Taxes
Tax Filing Help
The Tax Filing Help video contains information on filing taxes for your chapter. Please note that using a certified tax professional is the best method to filing your tax responsibilities. The video will help those who choose to perform the tax filing in-house.
