Job Description



Cost Accountant
Springfield, MA | National Consumer Product Manufacturer


Love manufacturing finance, clean spreadsheets, and figuring out why the numbers moved ? This could be a great one.


A national consumer product manufacturer is hiring a Cost Accountant for its Springfield, MA facility. This is a hands-on plant finance role where you'll be the go-to accounting person on-site, partnering with operations and corporate finance to keep costs, inventory, and performance on track.


You'll dig into:

  • Cost accounting, standard costs, and variance analysis
  • Month-end close, journal entries, and reconciliations
  • Inventory, labor, material, and overhead reporting
  • Budgeting, forecasting, and plant-level P&L support
  • Financial analysis that helps operations make better decisions
We're looking for someone with:
  • 3+ years of cost accounting, plant accounting, or financial analysis experience
  • Manufacturing, food, CPG, or packaging experience preferred
  • Strong Excel skills - pivots, lookups, modeling, the good stuff
  • ERP experience, with NetSuite a plus
  • A practical, curious, "I'll figure it out" mindset

This is a great fit for someone who wants visibility, ownership, and a role where the finance work actually connects to what's happening on the plant floor.


Benefits include health, dental, vision, 401(k) match, PTO, holidays, tuition assistance, life/disability coverage, FSA, EAP, and more.


If you are interested in this or future opportunities in your area, please send a Word-Formatted resume to us and we will contact you when opportunities arise that match your geography and experience. All inquiries are kept confidential, and your information will not be shared without your prior approval.


All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to the individual's race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability, genetic information, status as a military veteran or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
