A little about APB

The Association of Professional Builders is a business coaching company for custom home builders. We provide on demand training and systems via our membership and have a private mentoring level where we work one on one with builders world-wide.

The work we do matters and every day we are changing lives. Our members are thriving (despite what you might have heard about the industry lately) which has allowed us to expand our operations even further.

We have a small team of 17 people across three countries and we’re growing safely and securely every day. We’re proud to have recently earned our certification from Great Place To Work Australia after an independent review of our team.

Why is this position available? Our bookkeeping has been managed by the wife of Co-founder Russ Stephens since the company started. Now, with the systems and processes in place, the time is right for this role to be taken over by a dedicated bookkeeper.

We value culture and attitude over everything else and protect our team from anyone who doesn’t act according to our core values.

Our core values

• We always do the right thing, even when no one else is looking.
• We celebrate the wins.
