Financial Reporting Welcomes Scott Bohmke

Scott and Katharine

Scott Bohmke’s new role as a Senior Accountant on the Financial Reporting Team is his first in higher education as well as his first based on the East Coast. A native of Arizona, Bohmke’s accounting career began with tax preparation and bookkeeping, ultimately landing at Moss Adams and progressing through the ranks to become a senior manager.

“I’m a typical CPA ‘accounting nerd,’” he laughs. “Accounting is the language of business. I enjoy using my expertise to help my organization respond to new accounting requirements and provide a solid foundation for its work.”

When he and his partner Katharine relocated to Charlottesville for her neurology residency at UVA, Bohmke sought a new role in the local community. He was attracted to UVAFinance because of his love for the higher ed environment. As an undergrad and master’s student in Arizona, he greatly enjoyed the campus atmosphere and the knowledge that he was part of an academic institution focused on changing people’s lives and shaping the future.

As a Senior Accountant at UVA, Bohmke says he’ll enjoy getting a holistic view of the University’s finances. He’s looking forward to the opportunities and challenges his role entails.

“There’s a special kind of camaraderie about the collegiate atmosphere,” he says. “People are inquisitive, open-minded, and friendly.” Bohmke got a chance to experience that camaraderie firsthand during Finance Week activities in mid-April, when the entire central finance team was on Grounds.

When he’s not working, he and his partner enjoy hiking trails and enjoying all four seasons (something quite different than they experienced in Phoenix). They’re regulars at UVA sporting events, and, as avid readers, they tend to have lots of books on hold at the local library. In addition to hiking, Bohmke is also an avid pickleball and tennis player.

Welcome to UVAFinance, Scott!
