  • Creative Financial Staffing (CFS)
  • Palatine, IL

Job Description

Salary: $85,000 – $100,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Newly created Cost Accountant role due to company expansion—step into a high-impact position with room to grow

  • Strong benefits package including 6% 401(k) match, full healthcare, PTO, and all travel expenses covered
  • Modern, clean, well-maintained plant environment with access to cutting-edge ERP systems (Made2Manage)
  • Family-owned culture with the support of a larger parent company—collaborative team, people-first values
  • 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
