Key responsibilities include managing and analyzing manufacturing costs, preparing and analyzing monthly financial reports, performing detailed cost and margin analysis, analyzing budget-to-actual and standard-to-actual variances, partnering closely with operations, production, purchasing, and leadership to understand cost drivers and improve financial performance, assisting with month-end close, reconciliations, journal entries, and financial reporting, monitoring inventory and manufacturing costs and assisting with maintaining accurate costing standards, supporting budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning activities, and identifying opportunities for cost reduction, process improvement, and margin enhancement.
