Cost Accounting Director

The Hiring Advisors
El Segundo, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 5/22/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/19/2026

🚨 Cost Accounting Pros in El Segundo — this one’s for you 🚨


We’re partnering with a growing company looking for an Inventory & Cost Accounting Manager who knows manufacturing or construction environments like the back of their Excel workbook.

This is not a “keep the seat warm” accounting role.


They need someone who can:

  • Build inventory & manufacturing accounting processes from scratch
  • Own standard costing, variance analysis, inventory controls & ERP workflows
  • Partner with Ops, Supply Chain & Procurement without needing a translator
  • Spot inventory issues before they become “fun surprises” during close


Ideal background:

  • 6–10 years in cost/inventory accounting
  • Manufacturing and/or construction experience
  • ERP implementation exposure (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Dynamics, etc.)
  • Strong process improvement mindset
  • CPA/CMA = bonus points


Translation:

They want someone who can survive month-end close and a factory walkthrough in the same week.


Important Info:

  • Onsite in El Segundo area
  • Compensation = $175,000 - $225,000
  • High-visibility opportunity
  • Build-mode environment with real ownership

Salary : $175,000 - $225,000
