  • Produce powerful financial reports and present them directly to management
  • Be audit-ready—supporting on inventory and costing
  • Ignite and lead continuous improvement projects to fuel cost savings and profitability

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field
  • 3+ years of hands-on cost accounting experience in a standard cost environment
  • Fluency in BOM set-up, landed cost calculations, variance analysis, and time studies
