Staff Accountant - Manufacturing (Cost Accounting Focus)

Monroe, NC
$90,000 - $95,000 per year

Join a global manufacturing leader with a small, high-impact accounting team We are hiring a Staff Accountant with a strong background in cost accounting to support financial operations, month-end close, and reporting in a manufacturing environment. This role offers the chance to contribute directly to operations, collaborate with production teams, and provide meaningful insights-not just sit behind a desk.

What You'll Do
  • Month-End Close: Prepare journal entries, reconcile accounts (inventory, WIP, payables, accruals), and support corporate reporting (calendar-based close cycle, typically 3 days before and 2 days after month-end).
  • Cost Accounting: Maintain and analyze COGM and COGS; update daily and annual cost rolls; perform variance analysis against budget/standards; provide recommendations for improvements.
  • Inventory Management: Ensure accurate valuation of raw materials, WIP, and finished goods; analyze discrepancies; support annual physical inventory and reconciliation processes.
  • Reporting & Analysis: Prepare income statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, and plant productivity reports; deliver cost analysis and metrics to management; support forecasting and budgeting.
  • Compliance & Audits: Ensure adherence to GAAP/IFRS, internal controls, and corporate policies; assist with external audits (outside consultants, tax, sales, compliance).
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with operations and production teams to understand processes, uncover issues ("why are the numbers off?"), and provide proactive insights that drive improvement.
What We're Looking For
  • Education: Bachelor's in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
  • Experience: 3-5+ years in cost accounting within manufacturing (required). Internationally operated environment experience is a plus.
  • Technical Skills:
    • Advanced Excel (pivots, lookups, macros, not only formulas).
    • ERP systems: SAP, Oracle, JDE, OneStream, or similar.
    • Reporting tools: HFM, Business Objects, etc.
  • Mindset & Culture Fit:
    • Curious, problem-solving, and eager to ask "why."
    • Comfortable working both independently and alongside production teams.
    • Entrepreneurial approach to learning and continuous improvement.
    • Strong communicator, detail-oriented, and reliable under time pressure.
Why You'll Love It Here
  • Be part of a small but highly impactful team.
  • Exposure to global operations standards and workflows.
  • Salary range: $90,000 - $95,000/year.
  • Collaborative environment with leadership that values curiosity, ownership, and proactive thinking.
  • Remote flexibility during close.
