Senior Cost Accountant (Hybrid)
Salary: $90K–$110K

Step into a high-impact Sr. Cost Accountant role where you’ll connect financial insights directly to manufacturing performance in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment. This hybrid opportunity offers visibility, cross-functional exposure, and the ability to truly see your impact.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• Hybrid work model offering flexibility and strong team collaboration
• Ability to directly impact operations, production efficiency, and cost decisions
• Highly cross-functional role partnering with operations, engineering, and supply chain
• Exposure to acquisitions and integration work, expanding your experience
• Medium-sized company—large enough for resources, small enough to make a visible impact
• Strong benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO, parental leave, and more
• Hands-on environment where you can drive process improvements and automation
• Collaborative culture that encourages accountability, curiosity, and continuous learning


Key Responsibilities for the Sr. Cost Accountant:
• Manage standard costing, BOM updates, and cost roll processes
• Lead cost variance analysis (material, labor, overhead) and reporting
• Support monthly close including journal entries, reconciliations, and inventory reporting
• Oversee inventory accounting accuracy, including cycle counts and physical inventory
• Partner cross-functionally to improve costing processes and reporting


Qualifications for the Sr. Cost Accountant:
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting
• 4+ years of accounting experience, including 2+ years in cost accounting
• Experience with manufacturing costing, inventory, and ERP systems
• Advanced Excel skills required
