Love manufacturing finance, clean spreadsheets, and figuring out why the numbers moved? This could be a great one.
A national consumer product manufacturer is hiring a Cost Accountant for its Springfield, MA facility. This is a hands-on plant finance role where you’ll be the go-to accounting person on-site, partnering with operations and corporate finance to keep costs, inventory, and performance on track.
You’ll dig into:
- Cost accounting, standard costs, and variance analysis
- Month-end close, journal entries, and reconciliations
- Inventory, labor, material, and overhead reporting
- Budgeting, forecasting, and plant-level P&L support
- Financial analysis that helps operations make better decisions
We’re looking for someone with:
- 3 years of cost accounting, plant accounting, or financial analysis experience

- Strong Excel skills — pivots, lookups, modeling, the good stuff
- ERP experience, with NetSuite a plus
- A practical, curious, “I’ll figure it out” mindset
This is a great fit for someone who wants visibility, ownership, and a role where the finance work actually connects to what’s happening on the plant floor.
