Staff Accountant

Dayton, OH

Salary: $75,000 – $85,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Get out of pure back-office accounting and into a role where your insights directly impact manufacturing operations
  • Gain hands-on exposure to cost accounting, variance analysis, and real-time plant performance
  • Work closely with operations leaders and gain visibility across multiple business units
  • Join a stable, family-owned manufacturing organization with deep industry roots
  • Broad exposure across aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial sectors
  • Opportunity to build expertise in standard costing and product-level profitability
  • Develop a strong foundation for future leadership roles in finance or operations
  • Work in an environment that values practical problem-solving and collaboration

Key Responsibilities For The Cost Accountant

  • Execute monthly close processes including journal entries and balance sheet reconciliations
  • Analyze plant variances to identify cost drivers and operational trends
  • Establish and maintain costing for new and existing parts
  • Support standard costing updates and annual cost roll processes
  • Assist with internal controls and accounts payable functions

Qualifications For The Cost Accountant

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field
