Accounts Payable / Accounts Receivable Clerk — Fire Protection Company (Arlington, TX)

About Us: Elyon Fire \& Life Safety is a fast\-growing fire protection company based in

Arlington, TX. We handle monitoring, installation, inspections, and service for commercial clients across the DFW metroplex.

Our team is growing and we need someone to own our financial operations from the ground up.

The Role: You'll manage the full accounts payable and accounts receivable cycle for a

company processing millions in annual revenue across dozens of active construction

projects. This is not a sit\-and\-data\-enter role — you'll be coordinating with department managers, chasing approvals, filing lien notices, managing progress billing for general contractors, and making sure every dollar in and out is tracked accurately.

• Process and code vendor invoices in QuickBooks Online (including job number tracking)
• Run weekly AP approval workflows with department managers
• Execute vendor payments on schedule
• Monitor accounts receivable aging and run collections on overdue balances
• File mechanic's lien notices for construction projects
• Manage monthly progress billing using spreadsheets and contractor\-specific formats (some clients use Procore)
• Record payments across QuickBooks and ServiceTrade (our field service platform)
• Reconcile credit card processor deposits to invoices
• Support month\-end close process with our external accounting team

What We're Looking For:

• 1\-3 years of AP/AR experience (construction or trades industry strongly preferred)
• QuickBooks Online proficiency — you should be able to navigate it without a tutorial
• Exceptional attention to detail (our accounting team regularly audits for discrepancies down to the penny — if the phrase "the devil is in the details" resonates with you, include the word "precision" in the first sentence of your cover letter)
• Comfort managing multiple software systems (QBO, ServiceTrade, Google Sheets, email, Asana)
• Strong follow\-through — you'll chase approvals, not wait for them
• Associate's degree in accounting, business, or equivalent work experience
• Bilingual English/Spanish is a plus
• Must work on\-site at our Arlington, TX office (this is not a remote position)

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary ($45,000\-$52,000 depending on experience)
• Growth opportunity — we're growing fast and need people who grow with us
• Health benefits
• Paid time off
• Direct mentorship from ownership
• Future technology upgrades (we're implementing modern AP automation tools)
