  • Ability to influence reporting, controls, and automation efforts


What You’ll Do

  • Analyze variances and translate findings into actionable insights

  • Partner with operations to ensure accurate and timely financial data

  • Identify and implement process improvements across accounting workflows


What You Bring



  • 5+ years of cost accounting experience in manufacturing or distribution
