Job Description & How to Apply Below
Most accounting leadership roles stop at the close. This one follows the numbers all the way from the field to the finished product.
We're partnering with a vertically integrated agriculture and food business that farms, harvests, cools, processes, and manufactures its own product. They're hiring a Director of Accounting Operations to own the financials across every stage of that chain, and to turn them into insight the operations team actually uses.
This is a hands‑on leadership seat for someone who knows that a bad yield assumption or an outdated BOM shows up in the margin, and who wants to get into the operation to find out why.
What you’ll own- The monthly, quarterly, and annual close across farming, harvesting, foods, and grower accounting
- Cost accounting end to end: standard costs, product costing, BOM governance, and allocation methods across field and plant operations
- Inventory accounting and controls, including agricultural inventories, crops in the ground, and realized crop costs
- Monthly variance analysis on yield, labor, materials, overhead absorption, scrap, and throughput, with root causes and fixes, not just numbers
- Business unit reporting and profitability analysis by commodity, product, customer, field, and facility
- Budgeting, forecasting, capex planning, and investment cases for automation and new products, working closely with the CFO and executive team
- ERP, reporting automation, and internal control improvements
- Leading and developing the accounting team
- 10+ years in accounting or finance in agriculture, food production, or manufacturing, with agricultural experience strongly preferred
- Real depth in standard costing, BOMs, inventory valuation, manufacturing variances, close, and audit support
- Strong GAAP and internal controls knowledge
- The ability to explain a variance to a farming or plant leader in plain English
- Strong ERP and Excel skills, with ERP implementation or reporting automation experience a plus
- Bachelor's in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. CPA, CMA, MBA, or Master's preferred
