    Join the Team at Elliot Builders

    Elliot Builders is a Los Angeles–based construction firm working on high-end residential homes, ground-up construction, and select commercial projects. Since 2019, we’ve been building thoughtfully designed spaces with a deep commitment to craftsmanship, detail, and quality — and just as importantly, to people.

    We believe construction can be collaborative, thoughtful, and human-first. We value open communication, accountability, and team members who care about doing great work together. As we continue on a strong growth trajectory, we’re looking for someone who’s excited to grow with us and help shape how we operate behind the scenes.

    The Role

    We’re looking for a full-time Accounting Associate to lead our Accounts Payable process and support Accounts Receivable — someone who understands construction accounting and enjoys being an integral part of a growing company.

    This role is not just transactional. We’re looking for someone who thinks critically, understands job cost structure, and wants to contribute ideas on how we can continue improving our systems and processes as we scale.

    What You'll Be Doing

    Accounts Payable (Primary Focus):

    Process vendor and subcontractor invoices

    Ensure proper approvals and accurate job cost coding

    Manage weekly check runs / ACH payments

    Reconcile vendor statements

    Maintain compliance documentation and organized digital records

    Accounts Receivable (Support):

    Assist with client invoicing and progress billings

    Track incoming payments and maintain AR aging

    Support follow-up on outstanding balances

    Construction Accounting Responsibilities:

    Work within and help maintain our Chart of Accounts

    Support and understand WIP (Work in Progress) reporting

    Ensure accurate use of cost codes and job cost tracking

    Collaborate with project managers to align budgets, commitments, and actuals

    Growth & Process Improvement:

    Provide feedback based on prior experience

    Identify opportunities to improve workflows and reporting

    Bring critical thinking to our current systems and help refine them

    Contribute to building scalable financial processes as we grow

    What We're Looking For:

    1 year minimum construction accounting experience (required)

    Hands-on experience with Chart of Accounts, WIP reporting, and cost codes

    Strong Accounts Payable background

    Familiarity with construction or accounting software

    Highly organized and detail-oriented

    Clear communicator who enjoys collaborating with project teams

    Someone excited about growth — both personally and as a company

    Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who doesn’t just want a job — but wants to help build something. We’re on a tremendous growth path, and we value team members who want to contribute ideas, strengthen systems, and be part of shaping the future of Elliot Builders.

    What It's Like to Work Here: We take pride in our work, but we don’t operate with ego or red tape. At Elliot Builders, you’ll find:

    Open dialogue and approachability

    A team that supports each other

    High standards paired with mutual respect

    Leadership that values input and initiative

    Real opportunity to grow with the company
