Description

Cost Accountant
Salary Range: $65,000–$80,000
Norcross, GA

Why This Opportunity Stands Out



  • Highly visible role partnering with operations, finance, and executive leadership

  • Opportunity to own job costing, inventory, overhead absorption, and margin analysis

  • Work alongside experienced CPA leaders in a collaborative manufacturing environment

  • Play a key role in improving profitability through cost analysis and process improvements

  • Gain exposure to forecasting, financial reporting, and strategic decision-making


Key Responsibilities



  • Monitor job margins by comparing actual costs to expected costs and investigate material, labor, and manufacturing overhead variances

  • Develop and maintain cost accounting systems to ensure accurate cost allocation, overhead recovery, and financial reporting

  • Monitor inventory levels, oversee inventory valuation, and support physical inventory counts and inventory analysis

  • Support month-end close, journal entries, forecasting, and financial reporting

  • Partner with operations and leadership to identify cost-saving opportunities and improve profitability


Qualifications



  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

  • 5+ years of accounting experience with a strong background in manufacturing cost accounting

  • Experience with job costing, inventory accounting, absorption accounting, and overhead recovery rates

  • Advanced Excel skills and ERP experience; SAP or Syspro experience is a plus

  • CPA or CMA (or active pursuit of either designation) is highly preferred


Why This Role?


This Cost Accountant opportunity is ideal for someone who has built their career in manufacturing and enjoys digging into job costs, inventory, and overhead to improve financial performance. The team is looking for a true Cost Accountant who understands the operational side of manufacturing and wants to make a measurable impact on the business.
