  • Analyze manufacturing variances, including material, labor, overhead, purchase price variance (PPV), and manufacturing absorption
  • Communicate cost drivers, operational impacts, and corrective action recommendations to leadership and cross-functional teams

  • Support inventory counts and production floor observations as needed

  • Minimum 2+ years of accounting experience within inventory or manufacturing environments
  • Strong understanding of standard costing methodologies and manufacturing variance analysis
  • Experience supporting month-end close and financial reporting activities
  • ERP system experience required, including Oracle EBS, SAP, JD Edwards, Microsoft Dynamics, or similar platforms
  • Ability to communicate financial insights effectively with both finance and operations teams
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills
  • Comfortable working in both office and plant floor environments
  • Ability to wear required PPE and follow all safety procedures and environmental policies

Preferred Experience
  • 2+ years of cost accounting experience within heavy manufacturing environments such as metal fabrication, machining, foundry, stamping, paper, or chemical manufacturing
  • Oracle EBS experience
  • Experience supporting lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, scrap reduction, or yield improvement initiatives
  • CMA certification or active progress toward certification
  • Experience supporting BOM maintenance, routing structures, and manufacturing process optimization
