At Just Ingredients – a health and wellness e-commerce company – we believe that nourishing your body with real ingredients is essential for living a healthy and fulfilling life. That's why our products are made using carefully selected, whole-food ingredients. And our people are just as real as our ingredients – authentic, collaborative, and dedicated to fostering a workplace that inspires individuals and teams to reach their full potential.

We're looking for a detail-oriented Senior Cost Accountant who actually enjoys getting into the weeds of product cost – ingredient costs, formulation changes, fulfillment and freight, all of it. You'll own the true cost picture behind our products, from raw ingredients through a shipped order, and turn that into reporting our leadership team can actually use to make decisions. You should be comfortable evaluating cost-plus pricing from our co-manufacturing partners – not just accepting the numbers they send, but understanding what's actually driving them.

This isn't a role where you run one report and move on – you'll be digging into variances, flagging what's off, and helping us get sharper on margin as we scale. If you like clean numbers, hate unexplained variances, and want real visibility into how a fast-growing CPG brand actually makes money, this is your kind of role.

• Own and manage product costing end-to-end, including raw materials, assembly, and toll blending costs.
• Create and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) for our products, ensuring accurate and timely costs are reflected across the product line.
• Keep BOMs current as formulations, suppliers, assembly steps, or toll blending arrangements change, so cost data never falls out of sync with what we're actually producing.

• Analyze ingredients, production, labor, and fulfillment costs to ensure accurate cost allocation across our product lines.
• Prepare detailed, easy-to-use cost reports for leadership, translating the numbers into insights they can act on.
• Partner with Product Development on costing for new formulations and SKUs before launch.
• Review and validate cost-plus pricing from co-manufacturing partners, ensuring pricing structures are accurate, fair, and properly reflected in our cost of goods.

• Support the budgeting and forecasting process with accurate cost data, trend analysis, and margin projections.
• Identify cost trends early and flag them before they become a problem in the P&L.

• Monitor and reconcile inventory records, ensuring accuracy in costing and valuation across raw ingredients, work-in-process, and finished goods.
• Own the accuracy of cost of goods sold (COGS) reporting, including freight and fulfillment costs specific to our e-commerce model.

• Maintain and improve our cost accounting systems and processes in Net Suite, ensuring they scale as the business grows.
• Identify opportunities to streamline cost accounting workflows and reduce manual work through better system use.

• Conduct variance analysis between actual and budgeted costs, digging into the "why" behind the numbers, not just reporting the gap.
• Provide management with clear, actionable recommendations based on variance findings.

• Assist in preparing monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports related…
