Job Description:

A growing manufacturing and materials organization is seeking an experienced Cost Accounting Manager to support its finance and operations teams during a critical year-end and budgeting period. This is a hybrid contract role based in Denver, CO, with the potential to transition into a permanent position for the right individual. This position will play a key role in supporting month-end close, inventory accounting, and standard costing across multiple manufacturing operations. You’ll collaborate with both finance and operations leadership to ensure accuracy in cost reporting and to provide analytical insights supporting the upcoming annual budget. The ideal candidate is hands-on, analytical, and collaborative – comfortable working independently while partnering closely with leadership to develop effective solutions.

Job Responsibility:

  • Support month-end and year-end close (journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and inventory valuation)
  • Assist in the budgeting process, validating standard costs and running cost-per-unit or cost-per-lb scenario analyses
  • Partner with finance and operations to review BOMs, SKUs, and production variances
  • Analyze cost drivers and provide insight into efficiency and margin improvements
  • Prepare clear, concise reports summarizing plant-level and corporate cost data for management
  • Identify opportunities to improve close timelines, costing accuracy, and reporting processes

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
  • 5+ years of progressive cost or manufacturing accounting experience
  • Strong understanding of standard costing, variance analysis, and inventory accounting
  • ERP experience required (NetSuite preferred)
  • Intermediate Excel skills (pivot tables, vlookups, scenario analysis)
  • Excellent communication skills
  • able to collaborate effectively with both accounting and non-finance teams

Nice to have:

  • CPA or CMA certification is a plus
  • Experience in manufacturing or industrial environments strongly preferred
What we offer:
  • Opportunity to make an immediate impact during a critical reporting and budgeting cycle
  • Exposure to a dynamic, growing organization with long-term potential
  • Collaborative team environment and hands-on executive visibility
