Senior Cost Accountant

$100k - $120k

Creative Financial Staffing

Title: Senior Cost Accountant


Salary: $100K-$120K


Location: Westminster, MA | Onsite


Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

  • Join an established precision manufacturing organization supporting aerospace, defense, submarine, and custom manufacturing projects
  • Take ownership of a critical accounting function with approximately 50% of the role focused on percentage-of-completion revenue recognition
  • Work directly with finance leadership and operations in a highly visible position
  • Gain exposure to complex manufacturing projects, job costing, financial reporting, and operational analysis
  • Make a meaningful impact by improving accounting processes, reporting accuracy, and project profitability
  • Opportunity for long-term career advancement as the accounting department continues to evolve
Senior Cost Accountant Key Responsibilities:
  • Manage job costing and project accounting for complex manufacturing programs
  • Perform percentage-of-completion revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606
  • Analyze work-in-process (WIP), labor utilization, project costs, and manufacturing variances
  • Partner with operations to monitor project budgets, profitability, and financial performance
  • Review financial statements and ensure accurate reporting of manufacturing and project activity
  • Support month-end close, account reconciliations, and financial reporting
  • Identify opportunities to streamline accounting processes and improve cost reporting
Qualifications of the Senior Cost Accountant:
  • 5+ years of accounting experience, including 3+ years in manufacturing cost accounting
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting required
  • Experience with job costing, project accounting, or job-shop manufacturing
  • Hands-on experience with percentage-of-completion accounting and ASC 606 strongly preferred
  • Solid understanding of financial statements, GAAP, and manufacturing accounting principles
  • Background in aerospace, defense, precision manufacturing, or custom manufacturing preferred
  • Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and ability to collaborate with finance and operations teams
