About Us
At Homes by Sorensen, we don’t just build homes, we create spaces that are timeless, high-performing, and tailored to the families who live in them. As a leading custom residential builder, we’re known for our innovative approach (net zero energy or high performance building), attention to detail, and passion for quality.
We’re also a team that values balance. Work, life, family, and fun, all matter here. We believe that when our people thrive, our projects shine.
If you’re a detail-driven, forward-thinking professional who gets excited about both spreadsheets and smart solutions, you’ll fit right in. Join us as our Project Cost and Accounting Coordinator and help us push the boundaries of what’s possible in custom homebuilding.

The Role
In this position, you will play a key role in organizing and coordinating the financial side of our custom home projects.
