Key Responsibilities :

  • Lead the cost accounting function, including standard costing, variance analysis, and inventory valuation.
  • Partner with manufacturing and supply chain to analyze production costs, material usage, labor, and overhead; identify trends, inefficiencies, and cost-reduction opportunities.
  • Prepare monthly and quarterly financial statements, including detailed P&L review

  • Solid foundation in U.S. GAAP, inventory accounting, and financial reporting standards.
  • Key Competencies :

  • Deep knowledge of manufacturing operations, product costing, and standard cost systems.
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to transform data into strategic insight.
  • Meticulous attention to detail and high degree of ownership over financial accuracy.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and confidence to challenge assumptions or explain variances to non-financial stakeholders.
  • Ability to prioritize, multitask, and manage tight deadlines in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment.
