Cost Accountant – Manufacturing | Global, Growth-Oriented Company

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
This is a key role within a mid-sized global manufacturing company that continues to expand its presence in the market. The position offers strong exposure to both operations and finance, making it an ideal next step for a cost accountant looking to deepen expertise—or for a talented G/L accountant ready to pivot into cost accounting.

  • Partner with operations leaders on manufacturing and supply chain expense analysis and variance explanations




  • Develop and maintain cost accounting systems, documentation, and records




  • Participate in product setup, costing, and new product introductions




  • Assist with cycle counts and verification of inventory on hand




  • Provide financial support to cross-functional teams through cost analysis and reporting




  • Support the annual manufacturing and supply chain budget process to ensure accurate standard costs and absorption




  • Ensure compliance with corporate accounting policies and procedures




Qualifications for the Cost Accountant:




  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field




  • 2+ years of manufacturing cost accounting experience
    – OR – 2–3 years of strong G/L accounting experience with an interest in moving into cost accounting




  • Strong analytical skills and a mindset for continuous improvement




  • ERP experience preferred (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, etc.)




  • Proficiency in Excel
