Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
I am delighted to announce that earlier this summer Martina Buckley joined the Office of the Provost as Associate Provost for Financial Management and Chief of Staff.
As Associate Provost for Financial Management and Chief of Staff, Ms. Buckley serves in a critical leadership role within Academic Affairs. She serves as an advisor to the Provost and provides executive support for academic affairs financial operations and planning, strategic planning and implementation, and project management for the Office of the Provost and Academic Affairs. She is also responsible for personnel functions, development and administration of policies and programs in the Office of the Provost, and oversight of the Academic Affairs Other Units (AAOU) Shared Services Center. She will work collaboratively with central administrative offices, academic units, and colleges across UMBC, and participate in university wide planning initiatives.
Ms. Buckley brings to the UMBC community her extensive experience driving best accounting and auditing practices across a wide spectrum of industries, including higher education, not-for-profit, and professional services. She has presented at several industry conferences and has a record of publications in industry journals.
Ms. Buckley joined us from Baker Tilly, an accounting and professional services firm, in the Higher Education Practice where she provided risk, internal audit, advisory, and consulting services to higher education institutions across the country. Previously she was employed at Fresno State University, the University of Kentucky, and Ohio University where she oversaw the daily operations of business offices, directed business and administrative functions, including accounting, budgeting, and revenue/expense forecasting, managed long-term strategic budget planning, directed HR functions, ensured compliance with administrative policies and procedures, coordinated internal projects and special events, implemented internal controls, and oversaw internal/external audits.
She holds a Master of Education from Belmont University and is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Internal Auditor (CIA).
UMBC is very fortunate to have someone of Martina Buckley’s impressive experience and talent to serve in this capacity. Please join me in congratulating Ms. Buckley on her new position, welcoming her to UMBC, and supporting her in this important endeavor.
Provost Philip Rous
