A great Cost Accountant does far more than produce reports.
You understand what the numbers are telling the business. You spot trends, identify opportunities to reduce costs and help operational teams make better decisions.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a collaborative team where continuous improvement is encouraged and your ideas will be valued.
What you will be doing
You will take ownership of product costing and manufacturing finance, providing accurate financial information that supports both operational and strategic decisions. Your responsibilities will include:
- Developing and maintaining accurate standard costing models
- Analysing manufacturing costs including labour, materials and overheads
- Reviewing product costing and profitability
- Supporting the costing of new products and engineering changes
- Investigating manufacturing variances and recommending improvements
- Producing daily, weekly and monthly manufacturing cost reports
- Monitoring inventory valuation, stock accuracy and manufacturing overheads
- Analysing production performance, labour utilisation and operational efficiency
- Supporting month end and year end reporting
- Assisting with budgeting, forecasting and capital expenditure planning
- Producing KPI reports and financial analysis for senior management
- Identifying opportunities to reduce costs and improve profitability
- Supporting continuous improvement initiatives and financial reporting enhancements
- Working with cross functional teams to improve business performance
- Supporting internal and external audits while ensuring financial compliance
