Job description

Our Company

The U.S. construction permitting process is a black box. Over 500,000 forms and 20,000 processes, yet 95% of cities use the same building code. Every permitting delay costs businesses revenue, stalls expansion, and disrupts construction schedules.

Founded in 2022 by builders, entrepreneurs, and industry experts, GreenLite eliminates permitting uncertainty for developers nationwide.

We combine AI-powered technology with an in-house team of registered architects, engineers, and city planners to deliver the fastest, most predictable path to permit approval. Our expert-led compliance process ensures plans are code-ready before submission, reducing revisions, delays, and costs.

GreenLite has raised $86M in venture funding from leading investors including Insight Partners, Energize Capital, Craft Ventures, LiveOak Ventures, Trust Ventures, and Chicago Ventures. National brands, including Walgreens, TD Bank, and Driven Brands, trust us to accelerate approvals, reduce risk, and unlock growth.

The Role

Join GreenLite at a pivotal moment in our growth! As our Staff Accountant , you'll step into a dynamic role to support our growing accounting / finance team. This early-career role is ideal for someone looking to grow their accounting career at a high-growth tech startup revolutionizing a multi-hundred-billion-dollar industry.

To support our core accounting operations, you'll play a crucial role in managing our accounts receivable processes, accounts payable processes, and assisting with other general ledger activities.
