Exciting Opportunity: Cost Accountant Wanted!

Are you passionate about finance and cost accounting? We are a fast-growing, innovative company looking for Cost Accountant to join our finance team. We are a company that cares about our employees and we show that by offering incredible growth opportunities, benefits galore, and a culture that welcomes questions, diversity, and innovation!

If you're proficient in Excel (VLOOKUPS, Pivot Tables, SUMIF) and have experience with Standard Costing, Excess & Obsolete (E&O) inventory, and Overhead calculations, we’d love to hear from you!

Key Responsibilities:

  • Financial Analysis & Costing: Analyze product and project costs, track material variances, and review labor efficiencies to ensure accurate cost allocation and reporting.
  • Inventory Oversight: Manage physical inventory reconciliations, maintain accurate inventory records, and assess slow-moving and obsolete stock for necessary adjustments.
  • Reporting & Reconciliation: Prepare journal entries and perform balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring financial accuracy and adherence to accounting standards.
  • Monthly & Quarterly Close: Contribute to timely month-end and quarter-end financial closes, compiling relevant data for accurate cost reporting.
  • Forecasting & Variance Analysis: Assist in financial forecasting, estimating costs, analyzing actual results versus projections, and explaining key variances to leadership.
  • Audit Support: Collaborate with internal and external auditors to ensure compliance with financial reporting and operational standards.
  • Cross-Department Collaboration: Work closely with teams across procurement, production, and finance to gather data and provide insights that drive smarter business decisions.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Educational Background: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or a related field is essential.
  • Technical Skills: Advanced proficiency in Excel, particularly VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, and SUMIF, with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
  • Experience: 2-3+ years in cost accounting, preferably within a manufacturing or industrial environment. Familiarity with SAP is a plus but not required.
  • Cost Accounting Expertise: Solid understanding of cost accounting principles, including Standard Costing, E&O inventory analysis, and Overhead cost allocation.
  • Detail-Oriented & Deadline-Driven: Ability to work under pressure, meet deadlines, and adapt to shifting priorities while maintaining high accuracy.
  • Team Player: Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with colleagues across departments.

Why You'll Love Working Here: This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward-thinking organization that values innovation and collaboration. We offer a dynamic work environment, a competitive salary, and ample room for career growth. Your contributions will directly impact the company’s financial success and decision-making processes.

If you're ready to advance your career in cost accounting, apply today and be part of an exciting journey!
