About Twin City Foods, Inc

Twin City Foods is a leading Frozen Vegetable Producer committed to delivering high-quality, nutritious, and sustainably sourced frozen vegetables to consumers worldwide. With a focus on innovation, quality assurance, and environmental responsibility, we have established ourselves as a key player in the frozen food industry.

Twin City Foods is a family-owned business navigating a period of significant operational and financial transformation. The company is actively investing in systems modernization - including Planful and AP/AR automation - and strengthening its financial infrastructure to support the next phase of growth. The Director of Accounting is the closest finance partner to the CFO and plays a central role in that effort.

What We Are Looking For:

The Accounting Director is the controllership leader for Twin City Foods. This role carries full accountability for the accounting function - from daily cash operations and the monthly close through cost accounting, external compliance, and other selling P&L analytics. The Director sets direction, reviews and approves the work, and maintains controls; the Controller (with the full accounting operations team) and Senior Cost Accountant own day-to-day execution.

This is a working leadership role with direct CFO access: senior enough to represent the accounting function to lenders, auditors, and operational leadership without an intermediary, and close enough to the details to catch problems before they compound. The Director is expected to engage directly and confidently across all levels of the organization.

Beyond traditional controllership, the Director owns the analytical P&L framework for other selling revenue and costs - outbound freight, customer-billed storage, brokerage, and cash discounts. These categories have historically operated as a loss, and the Director is expected to build the models, track the trends, surface the drivers, and work with Sales and Operations leadership to move them toward break-even and beyond.

The role is being created as a dedicated controllership leadership position within a finance team that is actively modernizing its systems, processes, and analytical capabilities. TCF is building toward a more defined management system - one with clear KPIs, structured accountability, and continuous improvement as an operating discipline - and this Director is expected to be a driver of that culture within Finance.

The right candidate will treat the current state as an opportunity to build, not a baseline to manage. Candidate will be energized by the challenge of building a more capable, more analytical, and more proactive accounting function - and will see the complexity and pace as an opportunity. Candidates who are frustrated by bureaucracy, manual processes, and underutilized data should apply.
