About Glenn K. Burney

I manage accounting operations at American University, where I lead a high-performing team responsible for cash, investment, and endowment accounting, monthly close processes, audit preparation, and the accuracy of financial reporting that supports a $900M+ investment portfolio. I focus on building strong systems, clear controls, and a collaborative environment that helps both my team and our campus partners work efficiently and confidently.Over nine years at AU, I’ve developed deep experience across reconciliations, financial analysis, audit management, and cross-functional problem-solving. I’m particularly energized by developing people, simplifying complex accounting workflows, and turning financial data into clarity for leadership.Outside of higher education finance, I’m an active member of Hustle Fund’s Angel Squad, investing in early-stage startups and expanding my exposure to venture-backed innovation. Angel investing has strengthened the strategic, analytical, and forward-looking lens I bring to my work.I’m driven by continuous growth, operational excellence, and opportunities to support teams and founders doing meaningful work.
