Cost Accountant

Salary: $66,000–$95,000

Bonus: Up to 6% annually

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Our client is a long‑established, highly stable specialty manufacturing organization with exceptional employee longevity and strong organizational stability.
  • This role is a high‑impact Cost Accounting position supporting inventory, production operations, and month‑end close — offering strong visibility to leadership.
  • Excellent opportunities for advancement — individuals in this role have historically moved up quickly due to performance and company commitment to developing talent.
  • Strong benefits package, including very high employer‑paid medical coverage, paid time off, and additional personal time.
  • Supportive, collaborative culture where accounting frequently partners with production, and team members are known for stepping in to help one another.

Key Responsibilities For The Cost Accountant

  • Manage and monitor inventory, perform cycle counts, and collaborate with production teams on cost accuracy.
  • Perform month‑end close, including GL balancing, allocations, and timely reporting.
  • Investigate and analyze production variances and cost fluctuations; support material cost accuracy.
  • Provide backup support across accounting functions including AP/AR, production accounting, and rental tracking.
  • Utilize advanced Excel skills (SUMIFS, pivot tables, VLOOKUP, concatenation) and work within the company’s ERP system.

Qualifications For The Cost Accountant

  • Manufacturing cost accounting experience required.
  • Strong Excel skills including SUMIFS, pivot tables, VLOOKUP, concatenation, and advanced formulas.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting preferred; relevant experience also valued.
