About Carbon Built

Carbon Built is building deeply decarbonized concrete manufacturing of the future. Through our proprietary low-carbon concrete technology, focus on data analytics and robotics, and active acquisition of concrete masonry plants, we are scaling solutions that dramatically reduce embodied carbon while also reducing costs. Rooted in science, Carbon Built was established after years of Department of Energy-backed research at UCLA’s Institute for Carbon Management.

Carbon Built showcased its technology during the five-year long COSIA NRG Carbon XPRIZE competition, in which it was awarded the Grand Prize in 2021. Carbon Built has raised capital from leading Investors and Venture Capital firms.

• Our Vision - a world in which global economic prosperity is no longer a threat to the climate.
• Our Mission - to enable concrete manufacturing to drive large-scale emissions reductions through the cost-effective use of industrial byproducts and CO₂.

Carbon Built’s Reversa® Binder, a patented, low-carbon alternative to cement, creates concrete with a 70–100% lower carbon footprint, reducing costs by 10–30% while meeting performance standards. Our product has been commercially available since 2023 and can be rapidly adopted by the nearly 800 concrete plants in the U.S. alone.

The Role

We are seeking a Financial Analyst to join our onsite finance team in Danielson, Connecticut. This role is ideal for someone early to mid-career who wants broad exposure across accounting, finance operations, and manufacturing and who understands that working at a startup means rolling up your sleeves.

You will support day-to-day accounting and financial operations while partnering closely with plant operations, sales, and leadership. This is not a narrow or siloed role. You will see how the business actually runs.

What You’ll Do

• Support daily accounting operations including accounts payable, accounts receivable, expense processing, and transaction management
• Prepare journal entries, reconciliations, and support month-end and year-end close
• Manage customer invoicing, collections, and aging while resolving discrepancies
• Maintain accurate records for inventory, fixed assets, and cost allocations across manufacturing sites
• Assist with audit and tax documentation and ensure strong internal controls
• Help maintain clean, well-documented audit trails within the ERP system
• Partner with plant operations to ensure accurate inventory, production, and shipment cut-offs
• Support the Controller and CFO with ad hoc financial analysis and projects
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, automation, and system workflows, particularly in Net Suite

What We’re Looking For

• Associate or bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related field, or equivalent experience
• 2–4 years of relevant accounting or finance experience
• Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP
• High integrity, sound judgment, and professional skepticism
• Analytical and detail-oriented with the ability to think critically
• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel and financial systems
• Experience with Net Suite, manufacturing, or startups is a plus, not a requirement

How You’ll Succeed Here

• You are comfortable with ambiguity and change
• You are organized, adaptable, and process-minded
• You communicate clearly and collaborate well across teams
• You understand that startups require flexibility and accountability
• You care about building things that last and reducing carbon in the real world

This role is fully onsite at our Danielson, Connecticut facility. You will work closely with operations and leadership and be part of the day-to-day rhythm of a manufacturing environment.

Compensation

Salary range is approximately $68,000-$78,000
, commensurate with experience, plus benefits.
