Director of Accounting

Director of Accounting Operations | Agriculture | Monterey County (onsite)

Ag accounting is its own discipline, and if you’ve built your career in it, you already know that. This role is for someone who understands what a crop in the ground is worth, why yields move margins, and how to explain both to a room full of operators.

Hoxton Circle is partnering with a well-established, growing agricultural company in the Monterey County area to hire its next Director of Accounting managing and overseeing grower accounting and cost accounting functions. This is a true leadership seat with scope across farming, harvesting, foods, and grower accounting.

The team is already strong, with managers who know their areas well, so the job is to lead them, sharpen how the function runs, and grow it alongside the business.

What you’ll own

• Close across multiple business units, from farming and harvesting through processing and foods
• Cost accounting, standard costing, BOMs, and inventory accounting, including crops-in-ground
• Variance and margin analysis that operations leaders actually use to make decisions
• Budgeting, forecasting, and audit coordination
• A team of about 8, with a Farming Controller and a Grower Accounting Manager reporting directly to you

What you bring

• Agriculture industry experience covering at least two of these three areas: cost or manufacturing accounting, farm accounting, or grower accounting
• People leadership experience. You might be a manager ready for a director seat, or a director looking for broader scope
• Strong ERP and Excel skills. Essbase, Tableau, or Power BI experience is a plus
• Curiosity about AI tools. The team is already using them

Why this one stands out

• A director title with a capable team already in place, so you’re building on a foundation rather than starting from scratch
• A collaborative culture where asking questions is encouraged
• Real work-life balance, with many working parents on the team
• A company that invests in its people through events, recognition, and open communication

Location and pay

Fully on-site in Monterey County, five days a week.

Base salary: $160,000 - $200,000.

Benefits: medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) (no relocation assistance)
