The U.S. Army Finance Corps released a new regimental march on its 250th birthday, June 16, 2025.
The march can be downloaded at https://www.dvidshub.net/video/967090.
The creation of the new march was directed by Command Sgt. Maj. Craig Rodland, U.S. Army U.S. Army Finance and Comptroller School senior enlisted advisor and 13th Finance Corps Regimental Sergeant Major.
“The Army is transforming in contact every day, and the Finance Corps needs to transform just the same,” said Rodland. “The times have changed and so has the Finance Corps’ core competencies, which the new regimental march highlights.”
He also said the new march builds upon a rich tradition.
The Finance Corps’ previous march, colloquially known as “Payday,” was written in 1954 by U.S. Army Colonel A.E.R. Howarth and recorded by the U.S. Army Band and Chorus. Learn more at https://www.dvidshub.net/video/964664/.

The recording of the new march was done by the U.S. Army Band “Pershing’s Own.”
Below are the lyrics to the new march:
Finance shadows in the night
We move unseen
We own the fight
Counting cash
And taking aim
Collections is what you claim
Finance Soldiers lead the way
Finance Soldiers pay the way
Finance Soldiers’ dollars flow
Money n’ missions
We’re on the go
We fund the force
We lead the way
Common call we all can say
Finance Soldiers support and serve
It’s the pride of the Finance Corps!
The U.S. Army was established by the Second Continental Congress on June 14, 1775. Just two days later on June 16th, 1775, that same congress established the U.S. Army Finance Corps with creation of the office of Paymaster General, which was first held by James Warren.
Since then, the Finance Corps has supported and served Army Soldiers, civilians and their families around the globe as the corps, a critical element of the sustainment warfighting function, enables the Army to operate during competition, crisis, and armed conflict.
