Senior Cost Accountant
Manufacturing · Great Lakes

Our client, a reputable US-based manufacturer, is seeking a Senior Cost Accountant to join its finance team in Des Plaines, IL. This role is critical in ensuring the accuracy of inventory-related financial data, driving efficiency in inventory utilization, and supporting the integrity of monthly financial reporting. This is much more than a traditional accounting position. The company is seeking someone who understands the bigger picture—someone who can partner with Operations and Supply Chain, translate data into actionable business insights, and help drive cost reduction and margin improvement initiatives. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, analytical, and wants to play a key role in inventory optimization while supporting a fast-moving, growing finance organization. This is a rare opportunity to join a lean, low-red-tape environment that offers true autonomy, a strong work-life balance, and a clear pathway for career growth and promotion.
