Salary: $85,000–$125,000
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- This is a hands-on cost accounting role with a global manufacturing organization that operates in highly engineered, precision-based products used across industrial and advanced technology markets
- You’ll join a stable, well-supported plant accounting team where leadership is approachable, engaged, and committed to development rather than micromanagement

- The role supports a ~$20M plant P&L with a fast-paced month-end close environment designed for efficiency and strong process ownership

- Leadership has a strong track record of internal mobility, with managers who have grown significantly within the organization over time
- The company operates in high-demand, defense-related and industrial markets with consistent production cycles and strong long-term stability
- Own month-end close activities for a multi-plant manufacturing site including journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and financial reporting
- Perform inventory accounting including E&O analysis, NRV calculations, capitalized variances, and budget vs actual review
- Maintain and reconcile fixed assets, depreciation schedules, and prepaid accounts
- Partner with engineering and plant operations to ensure BOM accuracy and support cost integrity
- Assist with cycle counts, inventory control processes, and FIFO costing methodologies
- Support invoice vouching and three-way match processes as needed
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required
- 5 years of manufacturing cost accounting experience required
- Strong understanding of inventory accounting, accruals, and fixed asset accounting
- Experience with cost accounting in a manufacturing or job shop environment strongly preferred
- Strong Excel skills; exposure to BI tools or automation (Power BI, macros) is a plus
