Support the year‑end standard cost roll‑up process, including related analysis and documentation. Monitor and analyze variances between actual production costs and standard costs, identifying root causes and drivers. Support preparation of the annual operating budget, quarterly forecasts, and financial performance metrics aligned with production plans. Assist with period‑end close and reporting, including preparation of cost‑related journal entries, general ledger reconciliations, and variance commentary at the cost center level. Maintain perpetual inventory reporting and support physical inventory counts to ensure accurate inventory valuation. Develop complex financial analyses and trends, including sales performance, expense analysis, and identification of business improvement opportunities. Analyze production costs and recommend cost‑saving initiatives to enhance profitability. Partner with production and operations teams to support continuous improvement initiatives and efficiency projects. Collaborate with accounting and financial planning teams on financial close activities and support internal and external audits. Perform ad‑hoc analyses, special projects, and provide cross‑functional support as needed. What we require: Minimum of three years of relevant experience in financial and operational analysis and reporting. Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or a related field.
