Senior Cost Accountant (Machine Shop / Manufacturing)

$80,000 - $105,000

Reports to: Controller
Status: Exempt

About the Role

We are hiring a Senior Cost Accountant to support a growing machine shop / manufacturing operation.

This is a hands-on role where accounting directly impacts production. You'll work closely with operations to track costs, improve visibility into the business, and help drive better decisions on the shop floor.

If you understand how inventory, job costing, and production all tie together - this is the role for you.

What You'll Be Doing

Manage general ledger activity and prepare journal entries
Reconcile key accounts including inventory, fixed assets, and accruals
Analyze job costs, production spend, and overhead allocation
Partner with production and operations to understand cost drivers
Support inventory processes including cycle counts and physical inventory
Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning
Track and report key performance indicators (KPIs) tied to production
Support audits and financial reporting
Identify and implement process improvements within accounting and operations

What We're Looking For

3+ years of accounting experience (manufacturing strongly preferred)
Experience with cost accounting, inventory, and job costing
Strong understanding of accrual accounting and GAAP
Experience working with ERP systems (SAGE, Synchro, or similar is a plus)
Strong Excel skills
Ability to work cross-functionally with operations and leadership
Detail-oriented with strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Self-starter who can take ownership and drive improvements

Why This Role Stands Out

Direct impact on production and shop performance
High visibility across operations and leadership
Opportunity to grow within a multi-site manufacturing environment
Not just a desk role - you'll be involved in the business

Work Environment

Industrial / machine shop setting
Exposure to noise, dust, and manufacturing activity
Regular interaction with production teams on the shop floor
