Cost Accountant

$120k - $150k

Creative Financial Staffing

Looking to take ownership of cost accounting in a hands-on manufacturing environment while partnering directly with leadership? This is a high-impact role where your insights will drive operational and financial decisions across multiple sites.




Cost Accountant

Salary: $120,000-$150,000/yr



Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• High visibility role partnering directly with the Controller and cross-functional leadership
• Opportunity to influence decision-making across multiple manufacturing sites
• Broad exposure to operations, FP&A, supply chain, and program management
• Hands-on ownership of cost accounting processes and inventory management
• Ability to drive process improvements and efficiency initiatives
• Strong analytical focus with opportunities to build reporting and tracking tools
• Work in an environment that values operational excellence and continuous improvement
• Exposure to government contracting and advanced cost accounting practices
• Opportunity to contribute to training initiatives and organizational development



Key Responsibilities for the Cost Accountant:

• Support monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes
• Perform inventory and cost of goods sold analysis and reconciliations
• Analyze manufacturing variances and labor productivity metrics
• Maintain and reconcile project cost ledger to the balance sheet
• Partner with cross-functional teams to resolve cost and inventory issues
• Develop reporting and analytics to track performance and identify improvements



Qualifications for the Cost Accountant:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
• 8+ years of experience, including 4+ in manufacturing accounting
• Strong Excel and ERP system experience (Costpoint preferred)
• Knowledge of project costing and government contracting (FAR, CAS preferred)
