Financial Reporting & Operations welcomes Kimberly Smith

From L to R:  Grace, Virginia, A.J., Kimberly,

Jackson, and Ella Smith

Financial Reporting & Operations is pleased to announce that Kimberly Smith has joined the Financial Reporting Team in the role of Senior Accountant.

Smith owned and operated her own accounting business, Smith & Smith LLC, for 16 years, and has accounting and tax experience across a variety of industries. She and her husband A.J. (a corporate accountant) decided to move their family of five back to Charlottesville a few years ago, where he took over the business and she pursued opportunities at her alma mater.

"It's really exciting to come back," Smith said, adding that it was evident from the get-go that UVAFinance seemed to have an appealing atmosphere.

"People are not only nice to one another; they genuinely seem to like their jobs. That speaks well to me enjoying my new role if everyone else enjoys theirs," she said.

The Smith family enjoys traveling together. 

Kim's husband A.J. is also a Hoo (a double Hoo!)

In between the full circle of her getting her B.A. from UVA and her recent return are many years of travel and adventure with her family. The Smiths lived abroad for ten years in England, in the town of Guildford in Surrey.

Besides travel, Smith and her family keep busy hiking, camping, and dashing between the three younger Smiths' soccer, rowing, and swim meets.
