Cost Accountant / Sr. Cost Accountant

$100k - $130k

Creative Financial Staffing

Cost Accountant - Manufacturing | Global, Growth-Oriented Company
Salary: $100,000 - $130,000 base + 10% bonus
Work Model: On-site | Eden Prairie, MN


Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
This is a key role within a mid-sized global manufacturing company that continues to expand its presence in the market. The position offers strong exposure to both operations and finance, making it an ideal next step for a cost accountant looking to deepen expertise-or for a talented G/L accountant ready to pivot into cost accounting.


You'll be part of a collaborative finance team and work closely with operations leadership, providing valuable insights that directly support decision-making. The company fosters a culture of development and growth, with opportunities to broaden responsibilities as the business scales globally.


Key Responsibilities for the Cost Accountant:

  • Partner with operations leaders on manufacturing and supply chain expense analysis and variance explanations

  • Develop and maintain cost accounting systems, documentation, and records

  • Participate in product setup, costing, and new product introductions

  • Assist with cycle counts and verification of inventory on hand

  • Provide financial support to cross-functional teams through cost analysis and reporting

  • Support the annual manufacturing and supply chain budget process to ensure accurate standard costs and absorption

  • Ensure compliance with corporate accounting policies and procedures

Qualifications for the Cost Accountant:
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

  • 2+ years of manufacturing cost accounting experience
    - OR - 2-3 years of strong G/L accounting experience with an interest in moving into cost accounting

  • Strong analytical skills and a mindset for continuous improvement

  • ERP experience preferred (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, etc.)

  • Proficiency in Excel
