• Opportunity to take ownership and shape the role as the business evolves
• Work closely with experienced leadership in a respected packaging company
• Long-tenured team with strong employee satisfaction and retention
• Exposure to key business drivers including margins, inventory, and capital projects
• Opportunity to contribute to system implementations and process improvements



Key Responsibilities for the Cost Accountant:
• Support month-end close and cost-related financial reporting
• Analyze gross margins, inventory valuation, and product costing
• Assist with capital project analysis and cost savings initiatives
• Prepare and analyze KPIs related to production and profitability
• Support audits and year-end physical inventory processes
• Assist with implementation of new reporting systems



Qualifications for the Cost Accountant:
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting
• 1–5 years of cost accounting experience
• Experience with Amtech/Imaginera (required)
• Strong understanding of inventory costing and financial analysis
