• Practical knowledge of standard costing and variance analysis, ideally in a manufacturing, distribution, or inventory-driven environment.
• Proficiency with ERP platforms and accounting software systems, with the ability to work comfortably across multiple financial applications.
• Experience supporting accounts payable, invoicing, reconciliations, and payroll-related accounting tasks.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to review costing results, identify inconsistencies, and follow through on issues.
