Accounting & Finance Manager – Agribusiness & Group Holding

Client Overview

Our client is part of a diversified Indonesian business group with operations spanning modern agriculture, large-scale livestock, mining, and other industrial businesses.

The agricultural business operates highly structured, technology-driven livestock facilities across strategic regions in Indonesia. Its operations integrate automated farming systems, feedmill production, advanced biosecurity, livestock breeding, and data-driven production management.

The business is transforming traditional agriculture into a more structured and technology-enabled corporate model, with strong emphasis on operational efficiency, standardized processes, transparent asset management, and financial control.

Important Candidate Consideration: The agricultural operation is specifically focused on pig farming. Candidates should be comfortable working in and visiting pig-farming facilities and handling financial matters related to livestock production. This aspect of the business is an important consideration from the beginning of the recruitment process.

Beyond the agricultural business, the wider group also has significant operations in mining, mining contracting, and other diversified businesses. The finance organization therefore provides exposure to a broader multi-business environment rather than being limited to one industry.

Job Role

The Accounting & Finance Manager will lead accounting, financial control, cost management, audit, treasury, and financial governance for the group's agricultural and livestock operations.

The role requires a hands-on finance leader who understands the complexities of live-production environments and can translate operational data such as livestock growth, mortality, feed consumption, production costs, inventory, logistics, and site expenses into accurate financial reporting and actionable business insights.

You will work closely with the Corporate Finance Director and CFO while regularly engaging with farm management, feedmill operations, external auditors, tax authorities, suppliers, Directors, and international stakeholders.

Importantly, this position is designed with broader group exposure and career progression in mind. Depending on performance, business priorities, and organizational needs, the successful candidate may be given responsibility for finance functions within other businesses or subsidiaries of the group, including mining, holding-company finance, or other operating businesses.

The company is therefore looking for someone who is not only capable of managing agricultural finance but is also flexible and ready to take on broader financial leadership responsibilities across different business environments.
