Full job description

We are seeking an experienced Senior Cost Accountant to own the product costing, inventory valuation, and gross margin reporting functions that provide the financial intelligence behind every unit we build and every service we deliver. You will report directly to the Corporate Controller and work cross-functionally with Operations, Supply Chain, and FP&A to ensure that standard costs are accurate, variances are understood, and the close process runs on time. This is a role for someone who digs into the numbers, builds scalable costing frameworks, and thrives in a manufacturing and SaaS environment where the product mix is complex and the pace is fast. If you’re driven by precision, excited by operational finance, and want to contribute to a team being built for scale, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

Product & Service Costing

Maintain and update standard costs in the ERP, ensuring bills of materials are accurate and include appropriate overhead allocations
Prepare estimates for new and proposed product costs, including hardware configurations and service plan structures
Own Service and Software plan costing, ensuring cost structures reflect actual delivery economics
Design, update, and implement production and labour cost models on a continuous improvement basis

Inventory & Variance Analysis

Oversee inventory costing and variance analysis, including purchase price variance, usage variance, and labour efficiency variance
Help coordinate inventory counts — annually or more frequently as needed — and reconcile results to the general ledger
Reconcile and maintain control over Finished Goods inventory across all locations, ensuring accurate valuation at all times
Post inventory, WIP, and COS entries in the ERP in alignment with the month-end close schedule

Gross Margin Reporting

Support the monthly preparation and review of the Gross Margin report by unit sales, providing analysis that connects cost movements to margin outcomes
Analyze actual manufacturing costs and prepare periodic reports comparing standard versus actual production costs
Partner with FP&A on the Monthly Service Cost Review and Production Labor Review, providing costing data and variance commentary

Month-End Close Support

Complete assigned account reconciliations on schedule, including complex reconciliations for inventory, WIP, warranty reserves, and cost accruals
Prepare accrual and reclassification journal entries as required within the close cycle
Deliver reconciliations to a reviewable standard for the Controller, flagging issues before close day
Support the Controller’s cost accounting close tasks, including supplementary cost reports for warranty, software, and professional fees

Controls, Process Improvement & Audit Support

Develop, maintain, monitor, and implement financial controls and procedures to ensure accurate cost reporting
Develop efficient accounting and finance procedures for costing, inventory, and margin analysis, maintaining a high level of accuracy
Identify opportunities to reduce manual steps in the costing and close process — bring proposals to the Controller, not just observations
Assist in the annual audit by preparing working papers related to inventory, cost of goods sold, and standard costing, and by supporting auditors with data collection
Support initiatives to improve overall company systems and procedures, including Epicor costing and inventory module enhancements
Ensure cost accounting processes comply with internal controls and relevant accounting standards

What We Are Looking For

Required

5+ years of experience in cost accounting, manufacturing accounting, or a related financial reporting role
Demonstrated experience in a manufacturing or hardware+SaaS environment — you understand inventory, WIP, COS, and overhead absorption
Proven ability to build and maintain standard costing models and analyse variances at a component and labour level
Strong attention to detail — costing errors flow directly into gross margin and you own that accuracy
Proficiency in Excel and ERP-based costing and inventory modules; Epicor experience is a strong asset
Ability to manage competing priorities and month-end deadlines in a structured, autonomous way
Clear written and verbal communication skills — you will present variance analysis to Operations and FP&A stakeholders

Preferred

Professional experience in the manufacturing and/or technology industries
Post-secondary completion in a financial discipline; CPA designation or progress toward designation considered an asset
Experience working in a multi-entity environment with intercompany inventory movements
Familiarity with Epicor BAQ reporting or comparable ERP query and reporting tools

The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here

Willing to take initiative and be proactive — able to determine next steps and problem-solve with limited direction
Demonstrated ability to quickly adapt with a high degree of accuracy to work with complex data in an environment of ever-changing deadlines, priorities, and requirements
Proven ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and partner with Operations, Supply Chain, and FP&A on financial projects
