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

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
