My client is a manufacturing business based in Tewkesbury, looking to take on an Interim Cost Accountant for a period of 3-4 months.

Reporting to the Financial Controller, the role focuses on the continued development of Oracle-based inventory and costing processes in order to improve inventory valuation and gross margin analysis, to provide robust financial information and accounting control, and to provide effective, efficient analysis and support to Manufacturing and Operations.

Responsibilities:

To perform the existing monthly Excel-based inventory valuation as part of the month-end process to gain an understanding of the process "as is" and to identify opportunities for transition to Oracle processing;

Work with the Financial Controller and wider team to:
