Administrative & Accounting Assistant (Mandarin/English Bilingual)
Job Description
About Meijia Construction Engineering LLC
\n
Meijia Construction Engineering is a Los Angeles-based design and construction firm handling residential and commercial projects from entitlement through delivery — design, construction, renovation, and development. Our in-house team covers architecture and structural engineering, with a current pipeline of six projects across Pacific Palisades, Altadena, La Verne, Pomona, and Lancaster, primarily reinforced-concrete residential and commercial builds. Our office and showroom is on South La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles.
\n
\n
We work in both English and Mandarin daily — with clients, subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers — so this role sits at the center of how the office runs.
\n
\n
The Role
\n
You'll be the first point of contact at our La Brea office and the day-to-day support for our finance and administrative operations. This is a hands-on entry-level position with direct exposure to how a construction and development business actually works — you'll see project budgets, vendor contracts, and permitting paperwork move through the office.
\n
\n
What You'll Do
\n
Manage the front desk: greet clients and visitors, answer and route calls, handle mail and deliveries
\n
Serve as a bilingual bridge between Mandarin-speaking leadership/clients and English-speaking vendors, subcontractors, and agencies
\n
Enter and reconcile transactions in QuickBooks; code invoices and receipts
\n
Process accounts payable and receivable; track vendor invoices and payment schedules
\n
Maintain organized digital and physical records for projects, contracts, permits, and insurance
\n
Prepare bilingual correspondence, quotes, and internal documents
\n
Support office operations: supplies, vendor accounts, utilities, scheduling
\n
\n
What We're Looking For
\n
Professional fluency in both Mandarin and English, written and spoken — this is a hard requirement
\n
Bachelor's degree completed by start date; Accounting, Finance, Business, or related field preferred
\n
Comfortable with Excel and Google Workspace; QuickBooks experience is a plus, not a requirement
\n
Accurate with numbers and detail-oriented with documents
\n
Available to work full-time onsite in Los Angeles, Monday–Friday
\n
\n
Nice to Have
\n
Prior front-desk, bookkeeping, or AP/AR experience (internships count)
\n
Familiarity with construction, real estate, or architecture terminology
\n
\n
Details
\n
Full-time, onsite at 446 S La Brea Ave, Los Angeles, CA
\n
Monday–Friday, standard business hours
\n
Compensation: $18.50 per hour
\n
\n
Work Authorization
\n
Applicants must have work authorization in place at the time of hire. We are not able to sponsor employment visas now or in the future. (accept OPT)
