Assistant to the Controller — Elysium (Real Estate Finance)

Hybrid

Elysium is pioneering the future of human living through a new category: experiential real estate communities. These are buildouts that leverage scale, density, supply-chain optimization, and innovative construction technology in order to engineer asymmetric experience-to-cost environments.

Think: living system where housing, food, energy, mobility, and a city OS meet.

That kind of build demands something rare: financial truth, every week, without drama.
This role is for someone who takes pride in clean work, tight process, and catching mistakes before they become expensive.

If you're a master of numbers who gets satisfaction from a reconciled ledger and a perfect close folder, this is for you.

What you’ll do (what this role actually is)

You’ll be the Controller’s right hand. Your work will touch construction draws, job cost accounting, month-end close, lender reporting support, and audit readiness.

You will help run:

AP processing + coding (job cost coding accuracy matters here)
Vendor onboarding, W-9s, COIs, and payment workflows
Invoice matching (POs / contracts / approvals) where applicable
Lien waiver tracking and draw-package support (collecting, organizing, verifying)
Reconciliations (bank, credit cards, vendor statements)
Close support: schedules, backups, variance notes, documentation
Maintaining a “no surprises” documentation system (folders, naming conventions, audit trail)

This is a startup, so you’ll also do the unglamorous thing extremely well: make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

What success looks like

Invoices are coded correctly, approved correctly, and paid on time.
Draw packages are complete and clean—no missing waivers, no scramble.
Close is smooth because your schedules are already prepared.
The Controller trusts you like a second brain.

Who you are (bar-raiser, even for this role)

We’re building a top 1% core. This role is junior in title, not in standards.

Required

2–5+ years in accounting/AP (real estate, construction, or project-based accounting preferred)
Comfortable with:
- invoice workflows
- vendor management
- reconciliations
- spreadsheets that actually tie out
High attention to detail + high speed
You naturally write things down, follow a checklist, and close loops

Strongly preferred

Exposure to:
- job cost accounting
- construction draws / pay apps
- lien waivers
- month-end close support
Experience with accounting software (QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage, Yardi, or similar)

The personality fit

You don’t need reminders.
You don’t “hope” it’s right—you verify.
You like building systems, not just doing tasks.
You take pride in being quietly indispensable.

Form CC-305

Page 1 of 1

OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
