Bookkeeper/accounting associate
Job Description
Habitat for Humanity of Summit and Wasatch Counties builds and preserves affordable housing for ownership in two of Utah’s most expensive markets. We are a small team doing complex work — multiple entities, Low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) and CROWN compliance, construction lending, and an annual audit — and we need someone who keeps the financial machinery running accurately and on time.
This Bookkeeper/accounting associates sits at the center of that machinery. You’ll assist with the day-to-day transactional accounting and the integrity of our donor and financial data, working directly with the Chief Financial Officer and our other financial staff. If you want to see how nonprofit and affordable homeownership finance actually works from the inside, this is an unusually good seat.
Responsibilities
Transactional accounting
- Assist in processing accounts payable and accounts receivable: code and enter invoices, prepare payment runs, and track receivables
- Assist in performing monthly bank, credit card, and balance sheet reconciliations
- Support month-end and year-end closes and audit
Donor and revenue data
- Assist in maintaining the donor database: enter gifts promptly, keep records clean and current, and process acknowledgments
- Reconcile the donor database to the general ledger monthly so contribution revenue ties out
General support
- Maintain organized digital records that support our annual audit and funder reporting
Qualifications
- 2+ years in a finance, accounting, bookkeeping, or administrative coordinator role
- Solid grasp of basic accounting mechanics: AP, AR, reconciliations, and the difference between a debit and a credit
- Comfort with accounting and database software. Experience with QuickBooks Online, Dext, or a donor CRM is a plus; a demonstrated ability to pick up new systems quickly matters more
- Genuinely detail-oriented. This work feeds directly into Board decisions, funder reports, and our annual audit
- Organized and self-directed: you manage recurring deadlines without being reminded
- Comfortable working within a controls framework — dual approvals, documented review, and clean audit trails
- Discretion with confidential donor and financial information
- Curiosity and flexibility. We are small, and the work changes as the organization grows
- Successful completion of a background check, drug screening, and reference check, given this role’s access to donor and financial data
