Berry People is a year-round, full-line, branded shipper of predominantly organic berries and avocados with a national sales and global sourcing presence. The company’s partners and key outside growers own important farming assets in Mexico, and we have diversified and direct base of national and regional customers who are looking to grow with us.
We have a new opportunity for a qualified, talented, and motivated individual to join our accounting team. This role requires rigorous organization and attention to detail, the ability to work effectively with co-workers as well as grower and buyer clients in the timely and accurate “end to end” processing of product transactions, from the analysis and resolution of sales claims through to the review and finalization of grower accounting and lot sales reporting. The right candidate will “hold the line,” as to oversight, and even design of, the overall transaction accounting process, holding all parties accountable for timely and accurate transaction closures.
