• Provide financial support to cross-functional teams through cost analysis and reporting

• Support the annual manufacturing and supply chain budget process to ensure accurate standard costs and absorption

• Ensure compliance with corporate accounting policies and procedures

Qualifications for the Cost Accountant:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

• 2+ years of manufacturing cost accounting experience
  – OR – 2–3 years of strong G/L accounting experience with an interest in moving into cost accounting
