• Broad exposure across aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial sectors
• Opportunity to build expertise in standard costing and product-level profitability
• Develop a strong foundation for future leadership roles in finance or operations
• Work in an environment that values practical problem-solving and collaboration
Key Responsibilities for the Cost Accountant:
• Execute monthly close processes including journal entries and balance sheet reconciliations

• Establish and maintain costing for new and existing parts
