Dear Hiring Committee,

I am excited to apply for the Bookkeeper position with your organization. With a master’s degree in business management and extensive experience overseeing accounting operations, reconciliations, and financial reporting, I am ready to bring my skills to a role where accuracy and attention to detail directly support the mission of a nonprofit organization.

In my prior roles as Controller and Accountant, I managed full-cycle accounting functions, including accounts payable and receivable, payroll, general ledger maintenance, reconciliations, and monthly close. I have significant experience preparing financial reports, overseeing grants, tracking fund allocations, and ensuring compliance with donor restrictions—areas directly aligned with your requirements. My background also includes strengthening internal controls and collaborating with leadership to provide timely financial insights that support effective decision-making.

At this stage in my career, I am looking for a role like this—where I can apply my expertise in bookkeeping and accounting to a mission-driven organization, while working in a collaborative and hybrid environment closer to home. I am confident that my technical skills, nonprofit experience, and proven reliability will allow me to contribute meaningfully to your team from day one.

Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background and skills align with your needs for the Bookkeeper position.

Sincerely,

Janet Howe, MBA
