The Cost Accounting Manager is a hands-on manufacturing finance leader responsible for building, implementing, and managing the cost accounting and inventory accounting framework for URGO Medical North America's manufacturing operation. This role will establish the processes, controls, standard-costing methodology, ERP disciplines, reporting routines, and governance required to support startup, validation, operational ramp-up, and sustained growth.

Serving as the primary accounting business partner to Manufacturing Operations, the Cost Accounting Manager will translate plant activity into accurate financial information and actionable business insight. The role will work in close partnership with FP&A, providing the cost, inventory, production, variance, capacity, and operational data required for budgeting, forecasting, long-range planning, KPI development, scenario analysis, and management decision-making.

• Manage inventory accounting activities including reconciliations, reserves, excess and obsolete analysis, cycle-count and physical-inventory support, adjustments, and inventory reporting.
