Job Description

?? Cost & Management Accountant -- Powering Precision in Industrial Performance
Some professionals analyse data. Others transform it into the driving force behind operational efficiency and profit. If you're a sharp, analytical finance professional who thrives in a high-performance, industrial environment, this is your opportunity to make a measurable impact where it counts.
An industry leader is seeking a Cost & Management Accountant to take ownership of financial analysis, cost management, and project costing across large-scale operations. If you hold a BCom Honours (with CIMA as a strong advantage) and have 6 years' experience, including at least 3 years in costing, this role is built for you.
You'll:

• Manage project costing and cost analysis across multiple industrial projects.
• Monitor and control budgets, forecasts, and financial performance metrics.
• Prepare detailed management accounts and variance reports.
• Provide cost breakdowns, margin analysis, and financial modelling for strategic decisions.
• Identify inefficiencies and propose cost optimisation opportunities.
• Collaborate with operational, site, and project managers to align financial goals.
• Maintain integrity across financial systems and reporting structures.
• Support the implementation of improved costing methodologies and controls.

? Your Professional Foundation

• BCom Honours in Accounting or Finance (essential).
• CIMA qualification (beneficial).
• 6 years' experience, with at least 3 years in costing or project-based accounting.
• Strong background in cost control, financial analysis, and project reporting.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and Excel modelling skills.
• Experience within a hardcore industrial or construction environment.
• A confident communicator with strong business acumen and attention to detail.

? Why This Role Stands Out
This is an opportunity to be at the financial core of an industry where precision and performance meet grit and execution. You'll work with professionals who understand that the smallest cost decision can impact the biggest projects -- and you'll be the one shaping those outcomes.
