Senior Cost Accountant

$115k - $135k

Creative Financial Staffing

Title: Senior Cost Accountant


Salary: $115K-$135K


Location: West Boylston, MA


Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

  • Join a reputable manufacturing company specializing in complex aerospace, defense, submarine, and precision-engineered products

  • Play an integral role in project accounting, with roughly 50% of responsibilities dedicated to percentage-of-completion revenue recognition

  • Collaborate closely with senior finance leadership and manufacturing operations on key financial initiatives

  • Develop a deeper understanding of contract manufacturing, production costs, and project profitability

  • Help drive improvements in financial processes, cost analysis, and operational reporting

  • Position yourself for continued professional growth within an evolving accounting and finance department

Senior Cost Accountant Key Responsibilities:
  • Oversee cost accounting and financial tracking for specialized manufacturing contracts and projects

  • Calculate and record percentage-of-completion revenue under ASC 606 guidelines

  • Evaluate WIP balances, direct labor, material costs, and production-related variances

  • Work alongside production teams to assess project spending, margins, and overall financial performance

  • Analyze financial statements and ensure accurate recognition of manufacturing costs and revenue

  • Contribute to monthly closing activities, general ledger reconciliations, and financial reporting

  • Recommend enhancements to accounting procedures, cost controls, and reporting efficiencies

Qualifications of the Senior Cost Accountant:
  • Minimum 5 years of accounting experience, with at least 3 years focused on manufacturing or cost accounting

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting required

  • Demonstrated knowledge of job costing, contract accounting, or project-based manufacturing environments

  • Familiarity with ASC 606 and hands-on percentage-of-completion revenue recognition highly desirable

  • Strong foundation in GAAP, financial statement analysis, and manufacturing accounting practices

  • Experience supporting aerospace, defense, industrial manufacturing, or custom production operations preferred

  • Excellent problem-solving abilities, strong Excel proficiency, and confidence working across accounting and operational teams
