Good Things are Worth the Wait: Introducing Brittany Newton from Accounts Payable

Brittany Newton joined UVAFinance back in March 2020, the chaotic time when all of us were adjusting to working from home suddenly. Unfortunately, that means we missed introducing her when she first started. However, good things are worth waiting for, and we think the chance to learn about Brittany was definitely worth the wait.

Brittany assists the Accounts Payable department in expense management and payment processing for the University’s vendors.

She was interested in this position because she realized how important it was to have fresh eyes on AP processing. She was also excited about the opportunity to be involved in the implementation of Workday. Starting a new position when the pandemic first began was likely challenging, but Brittany worked through it and has been with UVAFinance for over a year now. And she seems to be liking her role in Accounts Payable.

“I really enjoy working with this team,” Brittany said. “And I am super excited about all the new things coming our way because of Workday implementation.”

When not at work, Brittany is a self-described fitness enthusiast and enjoys trying new fitness-related activities. For example, she is hoping to run a half marathon soon. She has also recently taken up Spenga, which is a spin class combined with HIIT and Yoga.

Brittany is originally from Kansas City, Missouri, and is the only girl out of the six children in her family.
