Do you want to make a delicious difference?

Planet A Foods is for people who want to change the future of food.

We are reinventing how the world produces food ingredients, replacing scarce and unsustainable raw materials with scalable, clean, and delicious alternatives. Our first product, a cocoa-free chocolate, is just the beginning. Our ambition is to build a new global champion in food ingredients.

At Planet A Foods, you'll join a bold, highly committed, international team of scientists, engineers, operators, and industry experts united by one goal: creating real, measurable planetary impact.

Accounting at Planet A Foods isn't a back-office function, it's a strategic discipline. As we scale from startup to global player, the integrity, speed and clarity of our numbers directly shape every bold bet we make. As an Accounting Transformation Lead, you will transform our finance function from a manual operation into an automated data engine that powers strategic decision-making. You will own our full accounting cycle while building the scalable infrastructure that allows Planet A Foods to grow efficiently and compliantly.

You will report directly to the CFO and work closely with our Lead FP&A, external tax advisors, and operational teams across the company. And you won't be figuring it out alone: your onboarding is structured and guaranteed through close collaboration with our external Freelance Accounting Lead and our tax advisors, so you get deep institutional knowledge and continuity from day one.
