If you're looking for a cost accounting role where you'll have direct visibility into manufacturing operations, work cross-functionally with production and engineering teams, and be part of a close-knit group with long employee tenure, this could be a great fit. Join a company that creates a wide variety of products while offering stability, collaboration, and strong benefits.

  • Gain visibility across multiple departments and contribute to strategic quoting and cost-target initiatives.
  • Enjoy a comprehensive benefits package and supportive team environment.
  • Work for a company that manufactures a diverse range of unique products.

Key Responsibilities For The Cost Analyst

  • Coordinate and oversee physical inventory processes.
  • Maintain standard costs and review standard versus actual cost variances.
  • Conduct production floor walkthroughs to investigate variances, reporting issues, and cost build-ups.
  • Analyze bills of materials (BOMs) and raw material costs.
  • Partner with production, engineering, and procurement teams to develop cost estimates and establish cost targets.
  • Support general accounting activities and financial reporting processes.

Qualifications For The Cost Analyst
