About the Opportunity

A well‑established manufacturer is seeking a Cost Accounting Manager to lead cost accounting, inventory, WIP, and month‑end close activities. This organization is in growth mode, investing heavily in modernization and process optimization. They are looking for someone who can bring structure, efficiency, and fresh ideas to a hands‑on cost accounting function.

Identify opportunities to streamline, automate, or improve reporting and workflows

What We're Looking For

5+ years of cost accounting experience (senior cost accountant level or above)
Background in manufacturing or distribution required
Experience with Microsoft Navision and/or AS400 is a significant plus
Bachelor’s in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred

Why This Role Stands Out

Remote flexibility — onsite only during month‑end activities
High visibility with leadership and cross‑functional teams
Ability to modernize a function with many manual processes today
Stable business with long‑term growth plans
Opportunity to influence process, controls, and automation
Strong bonus potential, 10-15%
