Staff Accountant at PURIS in Minneapolis, MN

Description

 At PURIS, we're dedicated to cultivating a better food system and making a positive impact. How do we do it? By transforming high-quality, USA-made ingredients into essential components for a wide range of everyday products. From cereals and snacks to protein beverages and beyond, our ingredients are powering a healthier future. This is more than just a job; it's an opportunity to be part of a growing food industry. You'll work with state-of-the-art engineering and work together with your peers to build a better food future.

The Minneapolis office is where PURIS comes together as one. As our corporate headquarters, this team partners across commercial, finance, supply chain, people, and operations. We are working closely not only to support and scale our manufacturing network, but also to collaborate with our trusted grower partners across peas and soy. Located in the heart of the Twin Cities, the office blends forward-thinking work with strong relationships across the food system, from farm to finished ingredient. For those who value partnership, cross-functional problem solving, and collective impact, Minneapolis is where individual contributions help move the entire PURIS ecosystem forward. 

Step into a role that blends solid accounting fundamentals with forward-looking finance. You’ll lead a variety of day-to-day accounting operations—think financial reporting, reconciliations, and recordkeeping—while also helping to build out FP&A projects that shape business strategy.

Perfect for someone coming out of public accounting, this is a chance to build industry experience and stretch into planning and analysis, all within a collaborative, fast-moving team. And unlike the grind you’re leaving behind, we value balance—offering a supportive environment where your life outside of work matters too.
