Full Charge Bookkeeper

Jennie Joiner with The Forum Group PNW is partnering with a long-established, family-owned agricultural operation in the Junction City area to find an experienced Full Charge Bookkeeper.

Here's what makes this one stand out: this is a salaried position working just 32 hours per week and it includes healthcare benefits! For an experienced bookkeeper who wants to continue doing meaningful, full-charge accounting work without committing to a traditional 40+ hour workweek, this is a pretty unique opportunity. You'll have ownership of the day-to-day bookkeeping and payroll function, plenty of independence, and the opportunity to become an important part of a stable, longstanding agricultural operation.

And if the idea of working somewhere surrounded by fields, equipment, and the day-to-day activity of a working farm sounds better than another corporate office building, even better!

What You'll Do

• Own full-cycle AP and AR
• Prepare journal entries and complete general ledger and bank reconciliations
• Review trial balances and assist with financial reporting
• Process in-house payroll, payroll taxes, quarterly/annual reporting, W-2s and 1099s
• Assist with annual budgeting and quarterly updates
• Maintain crop, bulk chemical and fuel inventory records
• Manage fixed asset changes and vehicle licensing/reporting
• Prepare accounting documentation for the CPA and financial institutions
• Handle new-hire paperwork and maintain employee records
• Partner with centralized HR and benefits resources
• Assist with safety training, commercial insurance and required agricultural reporting
• Keep the office organized and jump in on miscellaneous administrative or operational needs when they arise

What We're Looking For

• Approximately five years of full-cycle bookkeeping and payroll experience OR an associate degree in Accounting combined with applicable experience
• Strong AP, AR, journal entry, reconciliation and general ledger experience
• Hands-on payroll processing experience
• Solid understanding of general accounting principles
• Financial reporting experience
• Strong intermediate Excel skills
• Ability to learn industry-specific accounting and payroll systems
• Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills
• Someone comfortable working independently and taking ownership without a lot of supervision
• A flexible, roll-up-your-sleeves personality who doesn't mind responsibilities occasionally falling outside a traditional bookkeeping job description
• Genuine comfort working onsite at an active agricultural operation

This part-time schedule comes with healthcare benefits. Benefits include medical, dental and life insurance, with voluntary vision and additional life coverage. You'll also receive two weeks of PTO to start, a 401(k) with employer match following eligibility, and a small discretionary year-end bonus. The position is 100% onsite in the Junction City area. If you're an experienced full-charge bookkeeper who has been thinking, “I would love to find a professional accounting position where I could work fewer hours without giving up salary, benefits, stability, and meaningful responsibility,” this may be exactly what you've been looking for. And if you're perfectly comfortable occasionally trading your office shoes for muck boots, you'll fit right in! Reach out to Jennie Joiner directly to find out more or apply online today!
