Job description

Staff Cost Accountant | Manufacturing

Dallas–Fort Worth, TX | 100% Onsite | Full-Time

Own the Numbers. Understand the Business. Make an Impact.

Great accounting goes beyond balancing the books. It's about understanding what drives the numbers, identifying opportunities, and helping a business operate smarter.

We're looking for a sharp, analytical Staff Cost Accountant who wants to be close to the action in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

This is an opportunity to build meaningful experience at the intersection of accounting, manufacturing operations, and financial performance. You'll work with the numbers behind production, inventory, and profitability while collaborating with teams across the business.

If you enjoy digging into the details, solving problems, and seeing the real-world impact of your work, this role deserves your attention.

What You'll Own

• Cost Accounting: Maintain and analyze standard costs, including materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead.

• Manufacturing Insights: Investigate production variances, identify cost drivers, and help improve financial visibility.

• Inventory Accuracy: Reconcile raw materials, work-in-process (WIP), and finished goods while supporting cycle counts and inventory audits.

• Financial Close: Prepare journal entries, reconcile general ledger accounts, and contribute to an accurate, timely month-end close.

• Inventory Analysis: Monitor scrap, inventory turnover, obsolescence, and potential write-offs.

• Production Costing: Maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), manufacturing routings, and standard cost updates.

• Operational Partnership: Work alongside accounting, engineering, and manufacturing teams to resolve discrepancies and strengthen processes.

• Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve cost controls, reporting accuracy, and operational efficiency.

What You Bring

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a closely related field — required.

• 2–5 years of accounting experience, including hands-on cost accounting experience in a manufacturing environment.

• Solid understanding of standard costing, manufacturing variances, and inventory accounting.

• Experience working with BOMs, routings, WIP, and inventory reconciliations.

• Experience supporting month-end close, journal entries, and general ledger reconciliations.

• Strong Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookups, and financial analysis.

• Experience using an ERP system within a manufacturing environment.

• A naturally analytical mindset, strong attention to detail, and the confidence to ask questions and solve problems.

• Ability to work onsite five days per week in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

What Will Set You Apart

• Oracle ERP experience, particularly costing and inventory modules.

• Experience calculating labor and overhead rates and developing standard costs.

• Exposure to inventory audits, cycle counting, scrap reporting, and inventory valuation.

• Experience partnering directly with manufacturing or operations teams.

• An interest in understanding the why behind the numbers, not just reporting them.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This isn't a role where you'll spend your days simply entering numbers into spreadsheets.

You'll gain hands-on exposure to the financial mechanics of manufacturing, build relationships across operations, and develop a deeper understanding of how production decisions impact profitability.

It's an opportunity to sharpen your technical accounting skills, expand your operational knowledge, and make a measurable contribution to the business.

The Bottom Line

We're looking for someone who is curious, detail-driven, and ready to grow. Someone who can connect the numbers to the bigger picture and take pride in getting the details right.
