Senior Cost Accountant

Salary: $85,000 – $100,000 per year

Are you someone who can break down complex numbers and turn them into real business decisions? We’re partnered with a growing manufacturer looking for a Senior Cost Accountant to take ownership of cost visibility and financial performance at a key production site.

What You’ll Be Doing:
  • Own the month-end close process for a manufacturing site, ensuring accurate reporting across materials, labor, and overhead
  • Dive into variances (PPV, material, labor, overhead) and drive real solutions, not just reporting
  • Partner with operations, procurement, and leadership to identify cost savings and efficiency gains
  • Improve and challenge costing structures, standards, and assumptions
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and long-term planning with strong financial modeling
  • Help guide strategic decisions through cost analysis, Cap Ex evaluation, and profitability insights
  • Build and maintain cost models, pricing inputs, and operational metrics
  • Drive continuous improvement across financial processes and reporting
What They’re Looking For:
  • 5–10 years in cost accounting or manufacturing finance
  • Strong experience in a plant or production environment
  • Hands‑on ownership of month-end close and variance analysis
  • ERP system experience
  • Advanced Excel skills
  • Someone who can work independently but also influence across teams
Benefits
  • Competitive compensation and performance‑based incentives
  • Generous time off to recharge
  • Retirement planning support
  • Clear paths for career growth and advancement
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Additional benefits to support what matters most, on and off the job
