Summary Generated by Built In

PermitFlow is redefining how America builds. We’re an applied AI company serving the nation’s builders, tackling one of the largest information challenges in the economy: understanding what can be built, where, and how. Our AI agent workforce helps the fastest-growing construction companies navigate everything from permitting and licensing to inspections and project closeouts – accelerating housing, clean-energy, and infrastructure development across the country.

Despite being a $1.6T industry, construction still suffers from massive delays, wasted capital, and lost opportunity. PermitFlow has already delivered unprecedented speed, accuracy, and visibility to over $20B in development, helping contractors reduce compliance time, de-risk projects, and scale with confidence.

As the U.S. enters a new capex supercycle across data centers, factories, housing, and renewables, joining PermitFlow means building the AI infrastructure at the core of every construction project driving the next wave of reindustrialization.

We’ve raised over $90M, most recently completing our Series B, from top-tier investors including Accel, Kleiner Perkins, Initialized, Y Combinator, Felicis, and Altos Ventures, with backing from leaders at OpenAI, Google, Procore, ServiceTitan, Zillow, PlanGrid, and Uber.

  • Assist in building budgets, forecasts, and reporting for leadership

  • Support compliance, audit readiness, and internal controls

  • Partner cross functionally with operations and leadership on financial processes

You Should Have:
  • 3 to 6 years of experience in finance or accounting

  • Experience with AR, AP, or billing operations

  • Exposure to month end close or financial reporting

  • Basic understanding of revenue recognition and accounting principles

  • Experience working in a startup or fast paced environment is a plus

  • Comfortable working in spreadsheets and finance tools

  • Strong attention to detail and willingness to own work end to end

  • Clear communicator who can work with non finance teams

What We’d Love To See:

  • Experience with tools like Stripe, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Ramp, or Brex

  • Exposure to forecasting, budgeting, or financial analysis

  • Experience working with external accounting or bookkeeping partners

  • Interest in improving processes or using automation tools

  • Someone who is proactive, curious, and wants to grow into a broader finance role

What We Offer:
  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a high-growth company

  • 100% company-paid base medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees + healthcare FSA

  • 401(k) savings plan

  • Unlimited PTO and paid family leave

What We Do: Simplify the complex: We turn the maze of municipal requirements into clear, step-by-step workflows Speed up approvals: Our customers see permit times cut from 2-3 months to just weeks Automate workflows: From research to submission to tracking—all in one platform Ensure accuracy: Our software combines local expertise with AI to create error-free applications Provide transparency: Real-time tracking so everyone knows exactly where permits stand Who We Serve: Real estate developers, general contractors, architects, and owners across the United States. We work with everyone from single-family home builders to large commercial developers. The Impact: Since launching, we've helped permit $1.2B+ in project value and over 5,000 units of housing. We're not just making permitting faster—we're addressing the housing affordability crisis by removing barriers that slow down construction. How We're Different: Unlike generic workflow software, we're built by industry insiders who understand the unique challenges of each municipality. We combine deep permitting expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver results that matter.
