• Influence profitability and cost-improvement initiatives through data-driven insights and reporting.
• Work in a complex manufacturing environment that offers strong career development and advancement opportunities.
• Competitive compensation, comprehensive healthcare benefits, 401(k) with employer contributions, tuition assistance, and professional development support.
Target Compensation: up to $130,000
Key Responsibilities for the Cost Accountant:
• Manage manufacturing cost accounting, including standard costing, BOMs, routings, work orders, and overhead absorption.
• Perform inventory reconciliations, cycle count analysis, inventory valuation reviews, and E&O reserve calculations.
• Support month-end close activities, journal entries, account reconciliations, and financial reporting.
• Analyze manufacturing variances including PPV, labor, material usage, and overhead absorption to identify cost drivers and improvement opportunities.
• Maintain product costing, burden rates, cost rolls, and profitability reporting within the ERP system.
Qualifications for the Cost Accountant:
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field.
• 7+ years of accounting experience within manufacturing and costing environments.
