Senior Cost Accountant

$100k - $130k

Creative Financial Staffing

Senior Cost Accountant (Manufacturing & Financial Reporting)
Salary: $100-130K
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

  • Strong blend of cost accounting and general accounting responsibilities within a manufacturing environment
  • Exposure to both plant-level operations and broader corporate accounting functions
  • Involvement in standard costing, inventory valuation, and variance analysis tied directly to operational performance
  • Opportunity to support month-end close, financial reporting, and multi-entity accounting activities
  • Participation in ERP system improvements, process enhancements, and automation initiatives
  • Exposure to cross-functional projects and collaboration with both finance and operations teams
  • Stable organization with long-term growth potential and ongoing investment in systems and processes
Key Responsibilities:
  • Manage standard costing processes, including labor, overhead, material cost pools, and annual inventory revaluation
  • Perform variance analysis across material, labor, and overhead accounts, partnering with operations on cost drivers and improvements
  • Oversee inventory accounting activities, including cycle counts, physical inventory support, reserves, scrap tracking, and BOM/routing validation
  • Support month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes, including journal entries, reconciliations, and reporting deliverables
  • Assist with financial reporting, consolidations, and intercompany accounting across multiple entities
  • Support fixed asset accounting, budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis activities
  • Participate in ERP system improvements, process enhancements, and internal control support
  • Assist with audit support and ad hoc financial analysis as needed
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required
  • 5+ years of accounting experience with strong emphasis in manufacturing, cost accounting, and/or financial reporting
  • Strong experience with standard costing, inventory valuation, and variance analysis required
  • Experience with ERP systems (SAP, S/4HANA, Sage, or similar) strongly preferred
  • IFRS exposure is a plus
  • Solid understanding of month-end close and general ledger accounting processes
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work in a fast-paced environment
  • High attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities effectively
