About The Position

R.J. General Builders, Inc., a California-licensed general contractor specializing in residential remodeling, is seeking a remote Construction Bookkeeper to organize bookkeeping, project information, and day-to-day administrative work. The company handles projects ranging from smaller renovations to complex remodels involving multiple trades.

• Availability to coordinate working hours with the California-based team in the Pacific Time Zone.

Nice To Haves

• Create client invoices and progress billings, monitor receivables, and follow up on outstanding invoices.
• Organize vendor invoices and help coordinate accounts payable.
