Are you the kind of person who can spot a misplaced decimal faster than most people spot their morning coffee? Do you thrive on turning complex costing puzzles into neat, logical masterpieces? If so, we want YOU as our next Group Cost Accountant – the hero responsible for keeping costs sharp, accurate, and ready for decision-making across 9 entities in our manufacturing group.What You’ll Be Doing (aka Your Superpowers):

Mastermind standard costing across the group, building and maintaining standard costing models like a pro.
Team up with procurement, operations, and production to make sure every cent makes sense.
Prepare cost forecasts that are so good, you’ll have the Board hanging on your every spreadsheet.
Play a big role in the annual budgeting process (yes, your crystal ball will be needed).
Maintain pricing structures, from cost price to selling price, keeping our margins healthy and competitive.
Use SAP B1 daily – because it’s not just essential, it’s your playground.

What We’re Looking For:

BCom in Finance, Accounting, or similar.
CIMA studies in progress? Big advantage.
Manufacturing industry experience – you speak the language of machines and margins.
Strong personality – confident, energetic, and able to hold your own in a boardroom debate.
Analytical skills that could make Sherlock Holmes jealous.
Love for detail, but able to see the big picture (and the profit margins).

Why You’ll Love It Here:

You won’t just be crunching numbers – you’ll be influencing strategy.
Work closely with leadership on decisions that impact all 9 entities.
A dynamic, high-energy environment where your voice will be heard.

If your costing skills are sharp enough to cut through inefficiency, your personality big enough to fill a boardroom, and your SAP B1 skills second to none – we need to talk.For more information please contact:Bhaviksha Manilall
