  • Analyze variances, job profitability, and manufacturing performance, collaborating with Production to identify root causes and drive improvements.
  • Support cost rolls, BOM analysis, standard cost updates, and investigate cost issues with Production, Engineering, and Purchasing.
  • Strengthen financial processes, track manufacturing variances, and support accurate reporting across the business.
  • Perform month-end close activities, including journal entries, overhead analysis, accruals, and balance sheet reconciliations.
  • Lead on-site cost accounting process improvements and cross-functional projects to enhance operational efficiency and product costing.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or related field.
  • 3 years of hands-on accounting experience in a manufacturing or product-based company.
  • Proficient in core accounting processes: preparing and posting journal entries, reconciling accounts, and assisting with month-end close.
  • Experience preparing or interpreting trial balances and financial statements.
  • Knowledge of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
  • Strong Excel skills.

What Will Set You Apart

  • Demonstrated ability to independently manage workload, ask the right questions, and deliver accurate results.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to communicate or present information, both written and verbally, effectively with all levels of the organization.
  • Analytical, detail-oriented, and excited to apply your accounting skills in a hands-on, collaborative manufacturing environment.
  • Experience with SAP ERP systems is a plus.
