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.
