About the Opportunity

We’re partnering with a growing, PE-backed manufacturing organization headquartered in southeastern Connecticut that is looking to add a hands-on Senior Cost Accountant to its team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working in a dynamic, fast-paced production environment with the ability to influence cost processes, improve controls, and gain exposure to leadership and ownership. You’ll join a lean, high-visibility finance team supporting U.S. and global operations

+ Support month-end close and reporting requirements, ensuring accuracy and timeliness

+ Partner cross-functionally on capital project accounting and ROI analysis

+ Compile and present financial and KPI reports to leadership

+ Assist in process improvement initiatives across accounting and operations

+ Participate in external audits and provide supporting documentation

Required Qualifications

+ 3–5+ years of progressive accounting experience within manufacturing, construction, or related industry

+ Strong background in cost accounting and inventory management

+ Solid understanding of GAAP and month-end close procedures

+ Experience with Epicor ERP (or similar manufacturing ERP) is a plus!

Why This Role Stands Out

+ Hands-on visibility with the Controller and executive team

+ Backed by a respected private equity firm with aggressive growth plans

+ Opportunity to drive process improvement and build efficiencies

+ Collaborative culture and leadership open to new ideas

+ Path for continued career progression as the organization expands
