Brittany Newton takes on New Role

 Brittany Newton joined UVAFinance in March 2020, assisting the Accounts Payable department in expense management and payment processing for the University’s vendors.

She joined the team 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.

Upon joining UVAFinance, she shared, "I am super excited about all the new things coming our way because of Workday implementation.”

Newton's enthusiasm and expertise proved helpful to the Financial Strategic Transformation mission 

and delivery. She will now further benefit UVAFinance's work as an Accountant with Business Assets and Cost Recovery.

"I will be working on registering business assets in Workday – capitalizing equipment over its useful lifespan," she said of her new position.

Currently, she is registering all the assets that did not make it into Oracle for FY 2022 and converting the data and registering them in Workday. She will also be helping with the fringe benefit rates for 2023 taking the assumptions from the previous year.

When not at work, Brittany is a self-described fitness enthusiast and enjoys trying new fitness-related activities. She is a fan of Spenga - 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.
