Bill Kilmartin, who served from 1989 to 1999 as Massachusetts' state comptroller, was co-chair of the Massachusetts Citizens Commission, which examined issues relating to the influence of money in elections. After his term as comptroller, he was the finance and administration industry director of the national consulting practice at Accenture. He is a recipient of the Achievement of the Year award from the Association of Government Accountants and the National Public Service Award from the American Society for Public Administration and the National Academy for Public Administration; in 2020 he was inducted into the Hall Of Fame of the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers.
