Cost Accountant
Salary: $80k - $90k Base + Bonus

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Take a true business-partner role bridging Operations, Sales, and Finance
• Gain direct visibility into product and customer profitability—your insights will influence pricing decisions
• Work alongside a collaborative leadership team (Senior Financial Analyst + VP of Finance)
• Play a key role in margin improvement and cost-reduction initiatives
• Opportunity to shape processes, systems, and production standards
• Be hands-on with strategic initiatives, not just reporting
• High-impact position where your work directly affects company performance
• Exposure to both operational and financial decision-making

Key Responsibilities for the Cost Accountant:

• Lead monthly inventory counts and ensure accurate inventory reporting
• Close and validate production jobs and costing data
• Maintain and audit BOMs and routing structures
• Support new product costing and customer quote development
• Analyze product and customer profitability to guide pricing decisions
• Partner on cost reduction initiatives and production standard updates

Qualifications for the Cost Accountant:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
• 2+ years of manufacturing or cost accounting experience preferred
• Strong knowledge of standard costing and production variances
• Experience with BOMs, routers, and raw material costing
• Familiarity with work center or machine rate calculations
