Restaurant Accounting Workaholic for Growth Position

Looking for a passionate high-energy accounting/operations dynamo to join fast growing 100% Grass-Fed New Zealand Restaurant QSR Chain.

Our company is a New Zealand–born company specializing in distributing 100% live-grass-fed TURNER NEW ZEALAND FARMS BRAND beef & lamb, TURNER NEW ZEALAND OCEANS Greenlip Mussels, TURNER NEW ZEALAND NUTRITION supplements, and our new chain of NOEL’S KIWI KITCHEN Quick Service Restaurants. Our US finance and operations office is located in Irvine, California. Our business continues to grow, we are looking for a passionate, high-energy, positive-thinking new team member to join our winning culture, who has a good understanding of accounting, who brings energy, initiative, and a strong work ethic to our fast-moving environment. We are looking for an unusually driven individual who genuinely considers themselves a workaholic and wants the opportunity to grow into a significant leadership position within the corporation with significant financial compensation upside tied to performance. At TURNER, the word “workaholic” is intentional. We are looking for someone who is highly focused on the company, committed to its success, and willing to dedicate substantial time and energy to learning and growing the business. The right candidate will not approach this as a conventional 9-to-5 position. This opportunity is best suited for someone who willingly remains engaged with the business for approximately 12 to 16 hours per day, depending on current priorities, projects, customer needs, international communications, and operational demands. This is not intended for someone seeking predictable hours, limited responsibilities, or a strict separation between work and personal time. It is intended for an ambitious individual who wants work to be a major focus of life and who believes that taking care of the business allows the business to take care of its people.

Remaining focused on the company and its success throughout the day.

• Thinking proactively about customers, products, operations, and growth.
• Being available 24/7 when legitimate business needs require attention.
• Following through until important matters are fully resolved.

• Continuously looking for ways to grow revenue, improve operations, reduce costs, and strengthen relationships.
