Job Description

Cubed Talent is proud to be partnering with a well-established manufacturing business in Shipley to recruit an Assistant Cost Accountant. This is a fantastic opportunity for a part-qualified accountant looking to broaden their experience in a structured, controls-focused finance environment.

Reporting to the Management Accountant, you'll play an integral role in the month-end reporting cycle, delivering accurate and timely financial information to support both finance and non-finance colleagues in making informed business decisions.

You'll also contribute to maintaining a strong control environment, working within SOX, CFAP and CEAP frameworks - making this an excellent role for someone keen to develop their compliance and cost accounting expertise.

The day to day will include:

  * Monitoring, querying and reporting of manual inventory adjustments

  * Developing and maintaining Inventory SOX controls and compliance testing

  * Updating bill of material costs and investigating costing queries

  * Variance analysis, standard cost updates and overseeing automated system ledger close

  * Preparing cost of sales and inventory journal provisions

  * Balance sheet reconciliations and supporting forecasts for cost of sales, margins and inventory levels

  * Assessing cost/benefit of Capex and efficiency proposals

  * Participating in the planning and execution of externally audited annual stock takes and WIP checks

  * Managing aged inventory write-offs and providing financial guidance on government-funded development projects

We're looking for a candidate with experience in a similar role, producing journals and working to tight reporting deadlines, ideally within a manufacturing environment with MRP or ERP systems but this is not essential. Strong double entry knowledge and a solid grasp of basic costing principles, along with good all round knowledge of financial accounting systems and procedures are all essential, as well as at least a level 4 AAT qualification.

Candidates studying towards a formal accountancy qualification (CIMA/ACCA) is desirable. Familiarity with US GAAP, IFRS or a SOX-controlled environment is also desirable and any involvement in systems or process improvement projects would be a bonus.

In return, you will be offered a salary of £37,816 (with pending pay award increase) plus annual bonus up to £2200 and benefits including:

  * Flexible start/finish times

  * 33 days leave

  * Health cash plan

  * Enhanced pension scheme

  * Free parking

  * Life assurance scheme

Our client offers a genuinely varied finance role with real exposure to cost accounting, inventory management and compliance within a well-run, established manufacturing business.
