Framing The Search Assignment

Position: Head of Accounting

Client: A $2b citrus cooperative in California

The Challenge

A 130-year-old citrus cooperative in California required a Head of Accounting to lead the consolidation of two companies onto one ERP platform, drive process improvement, and increase efficiency through automation.

The challenge was finding a candidate with a balance of strong technical accounting and transformational leadership experience to enhance the capabilities of a diverse 30-member team across general accounting, audit, tax, and claims.

The Solution

3P Partners headhunted and placed a highly qualified, local candidate selected for his demonstrated creative problem-solving during the case study portion of the interview process.

The successful candidate has a Big 4 audit background and spent the last seven years at a $7b revenue business where he became an SAP SME. He also has a track record of training his staff to increase efficiency through AP automation and improving accounting workflows.
