Staff Accountant
Dayton, OH

Salary: $75,000 – $85,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• Get out of pure back-office accounting and into a role where your insights directly impact manufacturing operations
• Gain hands-on exposure to cost accounting, variance analysis, and real-time plant performance
• Work closely with operations leaders and gain visibility across multiple business units
• Join a stable, family-owned manufacturing organization with deep industry roots
• Broad exposure across aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial sectors
• Opportunity to build expertise in standard costing and product-level profitability
• Develop a strong foundation for future leadership roles in finance or operations
• Work in an environment that values practical problem-solving and collaboration

Key Responsibilities for the Cost Accountant:
• Execute monthly close processes including journal entries and balance sheet reconciliations
• Analyze plant variances to identify cost drivers and operational trends
• Establish and maintain costing for new and existing parts
• Support standard costing updates and annual cost roll processes
• Assist with internal controls and accounts payable functions

Qualifications for the Cost Accountant:
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field
• 1–5+ years of accounting experience (manufacturing preferred)
• Experience with cost accounting or inventory accounting is a plus
• Strong Excel and analytical skills
