Accountant

At Premier ProduceOne, we’re not just distributing produce - we’re fueling Ohio’s kitchens, connecting local farms to top chefs, and delivering unmatched flavor statewide from our state-of-the-art facilities in Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati/Dayton. Since our roots in 1948 and our 2013 merger, we’ve grown into Ohio’s go-to source for fresh produce, specialty gourmet items, imported delicacies, cheeses, organics, and more. Our mission? Consistently deliver superior quality, service, and variety while creating a workplace where team members thrive and grow.

We’re looking for a sharp, detail-oriented Accountant who’s ready to dive into the exciting, high-volume world of perishable goods distribution. If you love solving puzzles, thrive in a collaborative environment, and want your work to directly support operations that keep fresh food moving from farm to table, this is your spot.

What You’ll Do – Make an Immediate Impact Every Day

• Own the accuracy of our financial heartbeat: Prepare and post general ledger entries, reconcile accounts, and keep everything balanced in a fast-moving environment.
• Drive the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process, ensuring timely, spot-on financial closes that power smart business decisions.
• Craft internal financial statements and insightful management reports that help leadership see the big picture.
• Handle accounts payable/receivable transactions with precision, chasing down discrepancies like a detective to keep cash flowing smoothly.
• Master inventory in motion: Track movements, shrink, adjustments, and reconcile between accounting systems and warehouse reality, critical when every day counts against spoilage.
• Dig into product costing: Analyze freight, packaging, handling, and margins to uncover opportunities that protect profitability in a competitive industry.
• Collaborate cross-functionally, partner with operations, procurement, and logistics teams to validate purchasing, sales, and pricing data that keeps us competitive.
• Support audits by organizing documentation like a pro and ensure full compliance with GAAP, internal controls, and regulatory standards.
• Bring fresh ideas: Spot process improvements in workflows and deliver ad hoc analyses that help the Controller and leadership make bold moves.

Who You Are – The Ideal Teammate

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (required).
• 2–5 years of accounting experience - bonus points if you’ve worked in distribution, food & beverage, or produce (we know the perishables world is unique!).
• Excel wizard ERP power user (you live in spreadsheets and systems like most people live in apps).
• Solid grasp of inventory accounting, cost tracking, and reconciliation; perishables add urgency, and you handle it with calm confidence.
• Proactive problem-solver who enjoys partnering across teams and turning data into actionable insights.
• Comfortable in a dynamic setting: Frequent sitting/standing/walking, occasional exposure to warehouse elements or weather, and flexibility for nights/weekends when business demands it (we move fresh product around the clock!).

Physical Demands and Work Environment

• Frequent sitting, standing and walking
• Occasionally required to climb, bend, kneel or lift up to 25 lbs.
• Potential exposure to outside elements and inclement weather conditions
• 24/7 Operations, flexible work schedule may include nights and weekends as needed
