“We are very excited to have Bill join our organization,” said Dakota principal and CEO, Marc Daigle. “He brings with him deep financial experience, a track record of achievement, and valuable insights into the affordable housing industry. For these reasons, he is the perfect leader to take the helm of our talented finance department and deliver a comprehensive strategic financial vision that will help drive Dakota’s future growth and success.” 

In this position, Anderson will take ownership of Dakota’s finance and accounting department, leading a talented team of corporate accountants. The hard work of “Creating Housing That Matters” requires forward thinking financial expertise, which serves as the backbone for every project. In this role, Bill will lead this vital function.

Anderson’s career began with a 10-year stint in public accounting at KPMG in NYC and Boston, and most recently served as deputy fiscal director at the Cambridge Housing Authority. At CHA, he led a team handling all finance, accounting and reporting matters for the agency’s Low Income Housing Tax Credit projects that rehabilitated over 1600 former public housing units in Cambridge. Prior to CHA, Anderson spent 20 years in various finance roles in the investment services business across Bank of America and State Street Corp.

Regarding this new venture with Dakota, Anderson says, “I am pleased to have the opportunity to join Dakota’s group of true professionals making a real difference for many people who face fewer choices about where they will live. I look forward to helping Dakota Partners drive the growth of affordable housing in our market area.”
