Job Title: Senior Cost Analyst

Position Type: Full Time/Permanent Position

Recruiter Contact: Sal Fiorillo - Sal.Fiorillo@Roberthalf

Reference: SF0013213047

This is a great opportunity to join a well-run manufacturing finance team where processes are streamlined, leadership is supportive, and work/life balance is genuinely respected. You’ll partner closely with operations and leadership while playing a key role in cost analysis, profitability, and decision support.

What You’ll Be Doing

+ Own and analyze manufacturing cost accounting, including standard vs. actuals and variance analysis

+ Prepare profit center P& Ls, product mix analysis, and margin reporting

+ Support month-end close with journal entries and ad-hoc financial analysis

+ Provide detailed costing and financial insight for new product development and investment decisions

+ Lead the annual standard cost roll, ensuring accurate allocation across products

+ Partner with leadership on pricing strategy, efficiency improvements, and benchmarking

+ Support manufacturing operations across inventory, purchasing, and physical inventory

+ Collaborate with corporate finance and help adapt or enhance cost accounting systems

Why This Role Stands Out

+ Down-to-earth Controller and VP of Finance with a true team-first mindset

+ Tight-knit, collaborative finance group where everyone pitches in

+ Excellent work/life balance with generous PTO and a company shutdown between Christmas & New Year’s

+ Extremely organized and standardized processes

+ Strong internal promotion track (recent analyst promoted to Senior just after one year)

+ High visibility role with frequent exposure to the GM and business leaders

Requirements

+ 3–5+ years of experience in cost accounting, accounting, finance, or analysis within manufacturing

+ Candidates from public accounting with manufacturing exposure are welcome

+ Strong ERP experience and solid Microsoft Excel skills

+ Someone hands-on, analytical, and eager to grow with the business
