Putting the Puzzle Together: Keith Carter takes on a new role

Keith Carter of the Office of Financial Planning & Analysis has been with UVAFinance for 14 years and has provided accurate and timely analysis to leadership by assisting with the development and execution of the University’s $1.8 billion operating budget.

Recently, Keith was promoted to Budget Manager and now oversees core institutional funds on both Major Funding Sources and Cash and Strategic Investment Funds files. He is also stepping into a position of growing his mentorship and advisement within his team.

“I will serve as a mentor to the OFP&A analysts by teaching and advising them during the budget development, year-end carryforward and settlement processes; transferring historical knowledge about the University’s institutional funds, the Integrated System Finance transactions application, and the University Business Intelligence reporting application,” he said. “Also, I will be providing support and encouragement to help them grow, think through and resolve issues, and develop their ideas.”

Prior to joining OFP&A, Keith worked for UVA Housing Division and as a lifelong Hoo values collaborating with his colleagues above everything else.

“Working with my colleagues in OFP&A is what I enjoy and value most about working here,” he said. “There is never a dull day working in this office because we receive, on a regular basis, questions from both leadership and our stakeholders to address/resolve budget-related issues, some of which can be complex like a jigsaw puzzle.”

Keith graduated from the University of Virginia in 1987 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Religious Studies and Philosophy, and from Averett University in 2009 with a Master of Business Administration degree. He enjoys playing music (piano and bass guitar), traveling, and spending quality time with his family.
