About the Company Our client is one of the fastest-growing brands in the meat industry and they are redefining responsible business.

The Opportunity The organization is entering a new phase of operational maturity and needs a sharp, hands‑on Accounting Manager to build the financial foundation that gets them there.

This is not a “maintain the status quo” role. You'll own the costing function, lead the transition from average to standard costing, and work cross‑functionally with ops and supply chain to bring real cost visibility and inventory discipline to a complex, perishable environment. You won't be on an island.

You'll have a collaborative Controller above you, visibility to the CFO, and a supportive accounting team around you. Confidence to step into ambiguity and assess how things work will be needed. What You'll Own Lead the transition from average costing to a standard costing methodology, including design, implementation, and governance Build and maintain standard costs across materials, labor, and overhead Develop variance reporting across price, usage, yield, and manufacturing variances Analyze yield, shrink, and spoilage and translate findings into actionable operational insights Partner with operations, procurement, and co‑manufacturers on BOM integrity, routing assumptions, and cost drivers Own SKU and channel‑level margin analysis, incorporating freight, processing, and waste factors Support COGS forecasting and budgeting, including commodity‑driven fluctuations Help drive the business off spreadsheets and into the ERP system, a meaningful lift and a high‑impact win Support month‑end close, journal entries, accruals, and balance‑sheet reconciliations Help build scalable internal controls and prepare for the company’s first financial audit in 2026 Mentor junior team members as the accounting function grows Who You Are You've built things before.
