MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. --  Hate having to wait in line? Do you get frustrated trying to find a parking spot at Finance? eFinance has got you covered.

eFinance is available now and will soon become your preferred method for filing all of your financial documents. eFinance offers a secure, paperless process to submit financial documents using a "Turbo Tax style" approach to guide members through a wide range of finance functions by conducting an interactive interview session. eFinance is accessed via a secure Web site application using your Common Access Card (CAC) and pin at https://efinanceworkspace.wpafb.af.mil or by accessing the portal, selecting the "AF Portal Money-Finance Central" option and scrolling down the page to the hyperlink.

Once you navigate to the eFinance site, a question-and-answer session will walk you through the process of filing a travel voucher or other financial transactions from start to finish.

The transactions below are available through eFinance:
· Authorization to Start, Stop or Change an Allotment
· Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) Certification/Recertification
· Family Separation Allowance (FSA)
· State of Legal Residence
o Exemption
o Native American
o State
· Travel Vouchers
o Final Settlement Voucher
o Travel Advance

eFinance offers you another avenue to get financial documents to the Finance Office. You will be able to upload or fax supporting documentation (orders, receipts, etc) into eFinance. Enter your reviewing officer's and/or approving officials' (if needed) e-mail addresses and eFinance will route the documents to them. After approval the documents are routed to the Finance Office for auditing and then submitted to the Air Force Financial Services Center for processing. In eFinance, the customer receives e-mail status updates as the document package moves through the stages of processing.

eVoucher, the travel side of eFinance, can be used by any member that travels on paper orders (TDY to school, deployment orders, reserve orders). NOTE: Don't confuse eVoucher with DTS; they are two separate systems. eVoucher is an electronic method to file a travel voucher for those orders that cannot be done in DTS.

In addition to help make life easier, eFinance helps to standardize and streamline the processes at the local finance office and provide to the Air Force Financial Services Center completed and legible documentation.

eFinance is ready to use now. Why wait? For more information, contact the Finance Office at 828-5377 or at finance.services@macdill.af.mil
