  • Creative Financial Staffing (CFS)
  • Palatine, IL

  • Modern, clean, well-maintained plant environment with access to cutting-edge ERP systems (Made2Manage)

  • Enjoy diversity in your day: manage costing, support ERP integration, and influence budgeting, controls, and reporting

Key Responsibilities For The Cost Accountant

  • Develop and maintain cost accounting systems and documentation across two manufacturing plants
  • Analyze and reconcile inventory and cost data; compare standard vs. actual production costs as Cost Accountant
  • Partner with plant ops to support cost control, budgeting, and process improvement
  • Support ERP implementation and help standardize cost practices across locations
  • Assist with journal entries, account reconciliations, and month-end close activities

Qualifications For The Cost Accountant
