Job Description



SENIOR COST ACCOUNTANT
Looking for a cost accounting role where your analysis directly influences manufacturing performance and profitability? This opportunity offers strong operational exposure and the chance to partner across the business while owning key cost and inventory accounting processes.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:



  • High-impact role with direct visibility to Operations, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Finance leadership

  • Opportunity to influence cost reduction, profitability, and operational decision-making

  • Hands-on ownership of costing, inventory, manufacturing variances, and operational reporting

  • Exposure to SAP and opportunities to improve reporting, systems, and processes

  • Join a well-established manufacturing organization in the Greater Pittsburgh area


Target Compensation: $95,000 - $110,000

Key Responsibilities for the Senior Cost Accountant:



  • Manage and analyze standard costs, BOMs, routings, product costing, and manufacturing cost structures

  • Analyze material, labor, overhead, scrap, yield, and production variances to identify trends and improvement opportunities

  • Oversee inventory valuation, reserves, reconciliations, cycle counts, and physical inventory processes

  • Support month-end close, forecasting, budgeting, profitability analysis, and operational financial reporting

  • Partner with Operations, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Finance on cost savings, productivity initiatives, and business decisions


Qualifications for the Senior Cost Accountant:



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

  • 5+ years of cost accounting experience in a manufacturing environment preferred

  • Strong knowledge of standard costing, inventory accounting, manufacturing variances, and financial controls

  • Manufacturing ERP experience, with SAP and SAP S/4HANA strongly preferred; intermediate to advanced Excel skills
