Staff Accountant

At French Brothers, we believe great companies are built by great people - and our Finance Team is no exception. We're looking for a Staff Accountant who is detail-driven, hungry to learn, and committed to excellence. This role supports a multi-entity homebuilding operation, ensuring our financial engine runs smoothly, accurately, and with integrity.

You’ll play a key role in keeping our numbers clean, our processes tight, and our teams supported.

We’re not looking for someone to just "process transactions." We’re looking for someone who takes pride in their craft, thinks ahead, communicates clearly, and wants to grow with us as our company continues to scale.
