Senior Cost Accountant (Hybrid) Salary: $90K–$110K
Step into a high-impact Sr. Cost Accountant role where you’ll connect financial insights directly to manufacturing performance in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment. This hybrid opportunity offers visibility, cross-functional exposure, and the ability to truly see your impact.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out: • Hybrid work model offering flexibility and strong team collaboration • Ability to directly impact operations, production efficiency, and cost decisions • Highly cross-functional role partnering with operations, engineering, and supply chain • Exposure to acquisitions and integration work, expanding your experience • Medium-sized company—large enough for resources, small enough to make a visible impact • Strong benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO, parental leave, and more • Hands-on environment where you can drive process improvements and automation • Collaborative culture that encourages accountability, curiosity, and continuous learning
Key Responsibilities for the Sr. Cost Accountant: • Manage standard costing, BOM updates, and cost roll processes • Lead cost variance analysis (material, labor, overhead) and reporting • Support monthly close including journal entries, reconciliations, and inventory reporting • Oversee inventory accounting accuracy, including cycle counts and physical inventory • Partner cross-functionally to improve costing processes and reporting
Qualifications for the Sr. Cost Accountant: • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting • 4+ years of accounting experience, including 2+ years in cost accounting • Experience with manufacturing costing, inventory, and ERP systems • Advanced Excel skills required
