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, Green Lite 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.

Green Lite has raised $86M in venture funding from leading investors including Insight Partners, Energize Capital, Craft Ventures, Live Oak 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.

Join Green Lite at a pivotal moment in our growth! As our Finance Operations Associate
, you’ll play a foundational role in building a modern, AI-native finance function that supports a high-growth startup transforming a multi-hundred-billion-dollar industry.

This role is broader than traditional accounting. You’ll support core finance and accounting operations across billing, collections, accounts payable, month-end close, reporting, and financial data integrity — while also helping design the systems, processes, and AI-assisted workflows that allow the finance team to scale.

This is an ideal opportunity for an early-career accounting or finance professional who wants to build strong technical fundamentals while also gaining exposure to startup finance, financial reporting, business operations, automation, and systems design.

• Bring curiosity and a builder’s mindset to process improvement — this is not a role for someone who wants to maintain the status quo.

• Review and issue customer invoices accurately and on time, in accordance with contract terms and customer requirements.
• Own accounts receivable aging, follow up on outstanding balances, and support cash receipt application.

• Ensure vendor invoices are processed and paid accurately and on time, with attention to proper payment timing and cash conservation.
• Help identify opportunities to streamline the AP process through automation and system integrations.

• Support the month-end close process by assisting with journal entries and account reconciliations.
• Help maintain data integrity across accounting systems and sub-ledgers.

• Support recurring financial and operational reporting, including tracking key business metrics, cash activity, AR aging, AP trends, and close-related outputs.

• Velocity and impact of AI-assisted workflow improvements — how quickly you identify automation opportunities and move them from idea to implementation.
• Quality and reliability of AI-native processes built — are the systems you help design durable, well-documented, and trusted by the team?
• Accuracy and timeliness of core accounting responsibilities — invoicing, collections, AP processing, and month-end close support.
• Growth in technical capability — demonstrated learning and application of AI tools, system integrations, and automation techniques over time.
