Senior Cost Accountant (Hybrid)

Salary: $90K–$110K

Step into a high-impact Sr. Cost Accountant role where you’ll connect financial insights directly to manufacturing performance in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment. This hybrid opportunity offers visibility, cross-functional exposure, and the ability to truly see your impact.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Hybrid work model offering flexibility and strong team collaboration
  • Ability to directly impact operations, production efficiency, and cost decisions
  • Highly cross-functional role partnering with operations, engineering, and supply chain
  • Exposure to acquisitions and integration work, expanding your experience
  • Medium-sized company—large enough for resources, small enough to make a visible impact
  • Strong benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO, parental leave, and more
  • Hands-on environment where you can drive process improvements and automation
  • Collaborative culture that encourages accountability, curiosity, and continuous learning

Key Responsibilities For The Sr. Cost Accountant

  • Manage standard costing, BOM updates, and cost roll processes
  • Lead cost variance analysis (material, labor, overhead) and reporting
  • Support monthly close including journal entries, reconciliations, and inventory reporting
  • Oversee inventory accounting accuracy, including cycle counts and physical inventory
  • Partner cross-functionally to improve costing processes and reporting

Qualifications For The Sr. Cost Accountant

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting
  • 4 years of accounting experience, including 2 years in cost accounting
  • Experience with manufacturing costing, inventory, and ERP systems
  • Advanced Excel skills required
