Job description
Cost Accountant
We are seeking a detail-oriented Cost Accountant to join our established finance team. This is a vital, non-exempt role reporting directly to the Senior Cost Accountant, offering a great path for someone looking to deepen their expertise in project-based financial management. The Mission In this role, you won't just be crunching numbers; you'll be the financial "eyes and ears" for large-scale projects. You will ensure that labor, materials, and subcontractor costs are tracked with precision to keep projects profitable and transparent. Core Responsibilities: Project Analysis: Deep-dive into construction project costs, tracking variances in labor and materials. PM Partnership: Collaborate with Project Managers during monthly project reviews to ensure financial accuracy. Month-End Mastery: Assist with monthly job accruals and the Work in Progress (WIP) review process. Budgeting Support: Play a key role in the annual plant budgeting process and Capital Expenditure (CapEx) planning. Reporting: Generate insightful cost reports for the leadership team to guide decision-making. Financial Integrity: Support the month-end and year-end closing cycles to ensure bulletproof financial statements. What You Bring to the Table: The Foundation: An Associate's degree (or higher) in Accounting, or equivalent professional experience. The Experience: 1–5 years of "in the trenches" accounting experience (Payroll, AP, or AR). Industry Savvy: A solid grasp of cost accounting principles; experience in the construction or industrial sector is a significant advantage. Tech Stack: You are an Excel power user. If you have experience with Vista (Viewpoint), we definitely want to talk to you. Soft Skills: You are self-motivated, naturally curious, and able to communicate complex financial data to non-finance team members. Logistics & Travel: Base: This position is based out of our office in the Greater Springfield, MA area. Mobility: Approximately 10-15% travel is required to visit project sites or regional facilities.
