Cost Accountant
Salary: $75,000–$90,000
Why This Role Stands Out
This is an opportunity to join a growing manufacturing organization that is investing in its future and looking for a Cost Accountant who can do more than maintain spreadsheets.
You’ll step into a highly visible role where you’ll partner with operations, accounting, and leadership to improve costing accuracy, strengthen reporting, and uncover opportunities to drive profitability. The company is growing through acquisition and expansion, creating strong long-term career prospects for someone who wants to make a meaningful impact.
What makes this opportunity compelling:
- Growing organization with strong financial backing
- High visibility across accounting and operations
- Opportunity to improve processes and influence decision-making
- Hands-on exposure to manufacturing operations
- Clear path toward future leadership opportunities
- Collaborative, team-oriented culture
What You’ll Do:
Own Cost Accounting & Margin Analysis
Analyze product costs, monitor variances, and provide insights that help leadership understand profitability and improve business performance.
Improve Processes & Systems
Evaluate existing costing and inventory processes, identify inefficiencies, and develop improvements that drive greater accuracy and operational effectiveness.
Partner with Operations
Spend time on the manufacturing floor to understand workflows, production challenges, and cost drivers. Work closely with cross-functional teams to align financial reporting with operational reality.
Manage Inventory Analysis
Support inventory valuation, physical inventory processes, and inventory reporting to ensure financial accuracy and control.
Drive Reporting & Decision Support
Create meaningful analyses and reports that help leaders make informed business decisions regarding costs, pricing, and operational performance.
Leverage Advanced Excel Skills
Work extensively with complex spreadsheets, data analysis, and reporting tools to support costing, inventory, and financial initiatives.
What You Bring:
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
- 4+ years of accounting experience
- Cost accounting experience in a manufacturing environment
- Advanced Excel skills and strong data analysis capabilities
- Understanding of:
- Costing methodologies
- Inventory accounting
- Variance analysis
- Margin reporting
- Strong attention to detail and problem-solving abilities
- ERP experience is a plus
Who Thrives Here:
- Accountants who enjoy digging into data and finding answers
- Professionals who want exposure to both finance and operations
- Problem-solvers who challenge existing processes and seek improvements
- Self-starters who take ownership of their work
- Individuals who enjoy working independently while collaborating across departments
What Sets You Apart:
- Strong analytical mindset
- Positive, solutions-oriented attitude
- Ability to identify root causes and implement improvements
- Curiosity to understand how products, processes, and financials connect
- Grit, initiative, and willingness to roll up your sleeves
- Strong communication skills with operational and financial teams
Bottom Line:
This is more than a traditional Cost Accountant role. It’s an opportunity to become a key business partner who helps improve processes, strengthen costing accuracy, and drive profitability.
If you’re looking for a role where your analysis influences decisions, your ideas improve operations, and your career has room to grow, this opportunity delivers.
