Accounts Receivable Accountant

Company Overview

LEH. Homes is a respected construction and homebuilding company focused on delivering high-quality projects with professionalism and integrity. Our work brings together sales, construction, and design to create homes our clients love.

We value accuracy, accountability, and strong financial management as core parts of how we operate and grow. As our business expands, we are strengthening our accounting team to keep our cash flow and financial reporting sharp.

The Opportunity

As an Accounts Receivable Accountant at LEH. Homes, you will own the full AR process, from billing to collections to cash application. You will be the go-to person for ensuring invoices are accurate, payments are applied correctly, and lien rights are protected.

This role is a strong career step for an AR professional who wants to deepen their experience in construction accounting, work closely with operations, and have a direct impact on cash flow and financial performance.

What You'll Do

• Prepare and send customer invoices, change-order bills, and progress draws in a timely and accurate manner.
• Apply daily cash receipts, research unapplied payments and short-pays, and keep customer accounts up to date.
• Monitor AR aging regularly, follow up with customers, and help keep past-due balances to a minimum.
• Coordinate with sales, construction, and design teams to ensure billable items flow correctly from Buildertrend into the accounting system.
• Prepare monthly customer statements, resolve billing questions, and maintain clear supporting documentation.
• Maintain lien waivers and track compliance with Texas lien timelines to protect company lien rights.
• Reconcile the AR subledger to the general ledger and assist with month-end close activities.
• Support revenue recognition schedules and bank draw requests with accurate AR data and documentation.

What Success Looks Like

• Within your first 3-6 months, invoices and progress draws are going out accurately and on schedule, with clean documentation and minimal rework.
• AR aging is well-maintained, with consistent follow-up and clear visibility into any past-due accounts or disputes.
• Cash application is current and accurate, with unapplied cash and short-pays researched and resolved promptly.
• Lien waivers and compliance with Texas lien timelines are tracked reliably, reducing risk and supporting smooth project funding and collections.

What We're Looking For

• 3-5+ years of accounts receivable experience, ideally in construction or homebuilding.
• Proficiency with QuickBooks Online and Excel or Google Sheets.
• Strong attention to detail, written communication, and follow-up skills.
• Knowledge of lien laws, lien waivers, and basic GAAP principles.
