Description:

Cost Accountant

Salary: $85,000 - $100,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Newly created Cost Accountant role due to company expansion-step into a high-impact position with room to grow

• Work closely with the Regional Controller and have full ownership over cost functions across two manufacturing sites

• Be a strategic partner to operations, engineering, and finance teams-your insights will directly shape cost structure and performance

• Strong benefits package including 6% 401(k) match, full healthcare, PTO, and all travel expenses covered

• Modern, clean, well-maintained plant environment with access to cutting-edge ERP systems (Made2Manage)

• Family-owned culture with the support of a larger parent company-collaborative team, people-first values

• Enjoy diversity in your day: manage costing, support ERP integration, and influence budgeting, controls, and reporting

Key Responsibilities for the Cost Accountant:

• Develop and maintain cost accounting systems and documentation across two manufacturing plants

• Analyze and reconcile inventory and cost data; compare standard vs. actual production costs as Cost Accountant

• Partner with plant ops to support cost control, budgeting, and process improvement

• Support ERP implementation and help standardize cost practices across locations

• Assist with journal entries, account reconciliations, and month-end close activities

Qualifications for the Cost Accountant:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA or CMA preferred

• 3+ years of cost accounting experience in a manufacturing environment

• Proficient in Excel; ERP system experience
