Overview

Cost Accountant – Manufacturing | Global, Growth-Oriented Company

Work Model: On-site | Eden Prairie, MN

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is a key role within a mid-sized global manufacturing company that continues to expand its presence in the market. The position offers strong exposure to both operations and finance, making it an ideal next step for a cost accountant looking to deepen expertise—or for a talented G/L accountant ready to pivot into cost accounting. You’ll be part of a collaborative finance team and work closely with operations leadership, providing valuable insights that directly support decision-making. The company fosters a culture of development and growth, with opportunities to broaden responsibilities as the business scales globally.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with operations leaders on manufacturing and supply chain expense analysis and variance explanations
• Develop and maintain cost accounting systems, documentation, and records
• Participate in product setup, costing, and new product introductions
• Assist with cycle counts and verification of inventory on hand
• 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

• 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
• Strong analytical skills and a mindset for continuous improvement
• ERP experience preferred (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, etc.)
• Proficiency in Excel
