Senior Cost Accountant

Are you a highly curious, hands-on analyst who loves diving deep into cost drivers on the manufacturing floor?

Do you prefer the fast-paced, real-world data of a plant environment over traditional balance sheet analysis?

We are seeking a Dedicated Cost & Manufacturing Analyst to be the on-site expert, focusing purely on operational costing, profitability analysis, and supporting the sales and production teams.

Advantages

This is an excellent opportunity to partner with the business!

As the Senior Cost Accountant, you will work closely with the Owners, Production teams and partner with inter-departmental leaders to impact their bottom line!

Being offered are :

Competitive base salary

Health & Dental benefits

3 weeks vacation

Opportunity to be a business partner and have a voice within the organization

Responsibilities

Manufacturing Floor Deep Dive : Spend significant time in the plant to understand and record actual time, quantities, and operational flow at the part-level detail.

Average Costing Expert : Manage and maintain the specific average costing methodology, moving beyond standard costing assumptions.

Cost Analysis & Reporting : Analyze production data (time, materials, overhead) collected via Epicor and AI modules to generate accurate burn rates and detailed cost profiles.

Profitability Insight : Identify exactly where the company is making (or losing) money—by product, by process, and by customer.

Pricing & Quoting Support : Provide accurate labor rates, material rates, and comprehensive cost reports to directly support pricing strategies for new customer bids.

Continuous Improvement : Act as a "real digger" who is relentlessly curious about improving data accuracy and uncovering opportunities for operational efficiency.

Qualifications

Experience in a Manufacturing / Plant Environment is a MUST. You must be comfortable and willing to work on the shop floor.

A strong passion for Cost Accounting and operations; background in General Accounting or Financial Reporting is not the priority.

Proven ability to work with and validate complex inventory and production data systems (experience with Epicor is a plus).

Experience with Manufacturing variance analysis

Profile : We are seeking someone highly curious, energetic, and a true problem-solver—someone who won't take data at face value and loves to "dig" for the truth.

Strong analytical skills with an ability to translate complex cost data into clear, actionable reports.
