Senior Cost Accountant

Creative Financial Staffing

Looking to step into a high-impact cost accounting role where your analysis directly influences pricing, margins, and operational decisions? This is an opportunity to join a stable manufacturing organization with strong financial performance, modern ERP tools, and leadership that welcomes fresh ideas and process improvements.

  • Opportunity to improve and modernize standard costing processes
  • Benefit from organizational changes driven by leadership succession and new perspectives
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams that value data-driven decision-making
  • Enjoy a collaborative manufacturing environment with unique employee perks, including free cheese
  • Be part of a growing organization backed by private equity investment with a focus on long-term growth
Key Responsibilities for the Senior Cost Accountant:
  • Maintain and improve standard inventory costing processes
  • Perform variance analysis comparing actual, budgeted, and estimated costs
  • Analyze gross margins by product and provide insights to sales and leadership teams
  • Prepare and maintain Bill of Materials (BOMs)
  • Update labor and overhead rates to ensure accurate product costing
  • Leverage ERP to improve reporting, costing accuracy, and business insights
Qualifications for the Senior Cost Accountant:
  • 2+ years of manufacturing accounting or cost accounting experience
