• Identify variances, gaps, and inconsistencies in current cost calculations and recommend practical adjustments.

• Support decision-making by preparing clear cost analysis findings, summaries, and recommendations for leadership.

• Incorporate updates to costing logic where production methods or operational steps have changed.

• Ensure the final model can be used effectively to evaluate manufacturing performance and support future pricing or planning discussions

• Strong experience in cost accounting within a manufacturing setting.
• Proven background in manufacturing cost analysis, including process and production-based costing.
• Ability to build, revise, and validate detailed cost models using operational and financial inputs.
• Solid understanding of labor, material, overhead, and variance analysis in a production environment.
