About The Position

Jennie Joiner with The Forum Group PNW is partnering with a long-established, family-owned agricultural operation in the Junction City area to recruit a Full Charge Bookkeeper / Farm Office Administrator. This is a unique opportunity for an experienced full-charge bookkeeper who enjoys working independently, taking ownership of their responsibilities, and being part of a hands-on agricultural environment. The position offers a 32-hour workweek, ideally spread across five days, with some flexibility around daily start and end times. The majority of the position is spent in a clean, comfortable onsite office, but this is not a traditional corporate office environment. The office is located directly on an active farm, and approximately 3% of the position requires being outside and around the operation.
