Senior Plant Accountant

CFS
Oak Brook, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 10/14/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/12/2026
Ready to take ownership of a manufacturing operation’s financial performance while partnering directly with plant leadership? This is an excellent opportunity for an accounting professional who enjoys cost accounting, operational analysis, and driving business decisions through financial insight.

Salary: $80,000- $100,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Play a highly visible role influencing financial and operational decisions across multiple manufacturing facilities
  • Gain hands-on exposure to cost accounting, inventory management, budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting
  • Partner directly with production and operations leaders to identify efficiencies and cost-saving opportunities
  • Work in a dynamic manufacturing environment where your analysis drives real business impact
  • Broaden your experience with standard costing, inventory controls, and plant financial operations
  • Contribute to strategic planning through budgeting and forecasting initiatives
  • Opportunity to travel to manufacturing sites and develop strong cross-functional leadership relationships
  • Join a role with a blend of accounting, operations, and business partnership responsibilities

Key Responsibilities For The Senior Accountant

  • Prepare and review monthly financial statements and reporting packages
  • Analyze manufacturing costs, margins, and operational variances
  • Manage general ledger activities, account reconciliations, and month-end close processes
  • Maintain and analyze standard costs and manufacturing cost structures
  • Monitor inventory accuracy through reconciliations and cycle count reporting
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, audits, tax compliance, and internal controls

Qualifications For The Senior Accountant

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
  • 3–5 years of progressive accounting experience
  • Manufacturing accounting experience preferred
  • Strong Excel skills with experience analyzing large datasets and financial models
  • Knowledge of U.S. GAAP and standard costing in a manufacturing environment
  • Experience with ERP/accounting systems; IQMS experience is a plus
  • Ability to travel up to 50% to manufacturing locations
