Job Description & How to Apply Below

Build the financial backbone of a company that builds the machines that power the future for clean energy and space exploration.

The Cost Accounting Manager will own cost accounting, and revenue recognition for a project-based, custom manufacturing — partnering closely with operations, project management, and leadership to keep margins visible.

What you'll own
  • Month-end close for cost accounting
  • Percentage-of-Completion revenue recognition
  • Project financials: cost-to-complete, margin analysis, forecast updates
  • Unbilled revenue and deferred revenue
  • Standard cost updates and variance analysis across labor, material, and overhead
  • Balance sheet reconciliations
  • Budget and forecast cycles at the project and company level
  • Managing a team of Accountants and Cost Accountants reporting to you
  • Audit support and US GAAP / IFRS compliance for revenue and contract accounting
What you bring
  • 7+ years in accounting or finance, with real depth in cost accounting and margin analysis
  • Strong POC / ASC 606 revenue recognition experience
  • Background in a project-based or long-term-contract environment — engineered products, capital equipment, aerospace, defense, or similar
  • Advanced Excel and financial modeling
  • Bachelor's in Accounting, Finance, or related field
Why this one is worth a look
  • The work is genuinely interesting with products that power the future
  • Real stability: publicly traded $1.5B+ company, 50+ years in market, with a diversified product line
  • Significant room to grow inside the company — this isn't a top-out seat
