A Note on Working On-Site

This is an in-office role, five days a week, at our Gardena headquarters. Our accounting team works side-by-side with project managers and field staff, and that's where this job happens.

• Prepare, submit, and track construction loan draw requests with lenders
• Perform bank and credit card reconciliations and support month-end close
• Code job costs and expenses to the right projects in QuickBooks
• Support the Controller with financial reporting, audits, and process improvements

Required

• 3+ years of accounting experience, including AP/AR
• Hands-on QuickBooks experience
• Experience with accounting across multiple entities (multiple companies or LLCs)
• Experience with construction loan draws
• Able to work on-site daily at our Gardena office

Preferred

• Real estate or construction industry accounting experience
• Bilingual: English/Spanish
• Experience supporting month-end close and financial reporting

Compensation & Growth

• $70,000–$90,000/year, based on experience
• Free Welcome+ membership for up to 12 months while actively employed — includes $0 cost telemedicine with unlimited 24/7 access, counseling support, prescription discounts, dental (Aetna Dental Access®), and vision. Covers you and your family (spouse + children under 26).
