    • Ensure compliance with corporate accounting policies, GAAP, annual audit, and internal controls.

    Cost Accounting

    • Maintain accurate standard job costs, including labor, burden, and material rates.
    • Lead BOM/Routings and Jobs/Work Order reviews with engineering and operations.
    • Perform detailed manufacturing variance analysis (labor efficiency, scrap, purchasing price variance, overhead absorption).
    • Analyze machine utilization, job costing, and margin performance by product line, customer, or work center.

    • Develop and monitor KPIs such as OEE, scrap rates, labor productivity, throughput, and cost per machine hour.
    • Evaluate make-vs-buy decisions, quoting assumptions, and margin improvement opportunities.

    Budgeting & Forecasting

    • Lead the plants annual budgeting process and quarterly forecasts.
    • Develop cash flow projections and track working capital performance.
    • Prepare scenario analyses for production volumes, pricing changes, and operational initiatives.

    Systems & Process Improvement

    • Drive utilization and optimization of ERP/MRP systems (e.g., JobBOSS, Global Shop, etc.).
    • Improve accuracy and timeliness of shop floor data capture (labor reporting, scrap, routings).
    • Implement stronger controls around material movement, job closure, and WIP tracking.
    • Automate reporting and improve visibility into financial and operational performance.

    Required Qualifications

    • Bachelors degree in Accounting, Finance, or related discipline
    • 5+ years of experience in manufacturing accounting; precision metal parts, CNC machining, or fabrication strongly preferred.
    • Solid understanding of cost accounting, inventory accounting, and manufacturing variances.

    • Strong Excel skills; proficiency in ERP systems.
    • Ability to communicate complex financial issues clearly to non-financial stakeholders.
    • Demonstrated ability to drive process improvement and operational discipline.
