We’re looking for a Costing Accountant who goes beyond the numbers — someone who combines strong analytical skills with a deep understanding of manufacturing processes. This role plays a key part in ensuring accurate, transparent, and efficient cost control across our operations. You’ll partner closely with Production and Operations teams to enhance cost visibility, identify inefficiencies, and drive continuous improvement (MUDA elimination) through reliable costing data and insights.

What You’ll Do

1. Costing & Process Accuracy

  • Maintain and update accurate standard cost models for all SKUs, including BOMs, routing, and overhead absorption.
  • Conduct variance analysis (materials, yield, labor, and overhead) to identify root causes and corrective actions.
  • Ensure cost allocations reflect actual production processes and operational realities.
  • Continuously review and enhance cost accuracy within ERP systems.
  • Collaborate with Production and Engineering teams to ensure timely updates on BOM and routing changes.
  • Support budgeting and forecasting activities through accurate cost projections and analysis.
  • Prepare monthly cost performance reports (actual vs. standard vs. budget) with actionable insights.
  • Perform cost simulations and margin analyses for new product launches, contract manufacturing, and make-or-buy decisions.
  • Contribute to profitability analysis by SKU, production line, and customer segment.
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities through yield improvements, process optimization, and automation initiatives.
  • Participate in Kaizen and continuous improvement projects, ensuring financial benefits are tracked and reported.
  • Develop cost and performance dashboards that highlight waste areas and improvement opportunities.

4. Business Partnering

  • Work closely with Operations to align cost data with on‑ground realities.
  • Provide meaningful cost insights and recommendations that support efficiency and waste reduction.
  • Act as a bridge between Finance and Production to drive collaboration and operational alignment.
  • 5. Compliance, Audit & Reporting

  • Ensure inventory and WIP valuation comply with MFRS / IFRS and internal policies.
  • Maintain complete documentation for costing processes, revisions, and audit trails.
  • Support internal and external audit requirements by ensuring accuracy and transparency of cost data.
  • Mentor and guide junior finance team members in cost analysis and variance interpretation.
  • Foster a cost‑conscious mindset across departments, linking operational actions to profitability outcomes.
  • Who You Are

    Education :

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, Finance, Cost Accounting, or related field.
  • Professional certifications such as CIMA, ACCA, CPA, ICAEW, or MIA are highly preferred.
  • Experience :

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in manufacturing costing, production accounting, or factory finance.
  • Strong grasp of standard costing, variance analysis, and activity‑based costing principles.
  • Hands‑on experience with ERP systems (Infor LN or similar) and advanced Excel / Power BI skills.
  • Skills & Attributes :

  • Strong analytical mindset with practical problem‑solving abilities.
  • Excellent understanding of manufacturing workflows and cost drivers.
  • Collaborative communicator who works well across departments.
  • High integrity, attention to detail, and a strong sense of ownership.
  • Familiar with continuous improvement or Kaizen methodologies.
  • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

  • Standard cost accuracy within ±2% of actual.
  • Monthly costing reports submitted by Day 5 of month‑end close.
  • Variance investigation completed within 5 working days.
  • Verified cost savings achieved through MUDA reduction.
  • Measurable improvements in yield and productivity from cost insights.
  • Zero major costing‑related non‑compliance findings in audits.
  • Core Behavioral Competencies

  • Proactive Partner : Collaborates effectively and takes initiative.
  • Continuous Improver : Challenges inefficiencies and drives innovation.
  • Business‑Minded Accountant : Balances financial discipline with business practicality.
  • Ethical Steward : Upholds transparency and integrity in every action.
