Description
Macrotec designs and manufactures high-temperature process equipment (incinerators, cremators, air pollution control systems) for clients across Africa and the Middle East.
We are looking for a Cost Accountant to own our finance function, reporting directly to the Managing Director.
What you will do
You will manage Macrotec's costing framework: building and maintaining product cost structures, analysing bills of materials, tracking project costs against budgets, and reporting on margins by product line and project. Beyond costing, you will run month-end close, prepare management reports, handle reconciliations, and manage our relationship with external auditors and tax advisors.
This is not a back-office number-crunching role. You will work closely with our engineering and project teams to understand what drives costs and where value is created.
What we are looking for
- BCom in Accounting, Cost and Management Accounting, or related qualification
- Experience with product costing, BOMs, or manufacturing cost analysis (preferred)
- Familiarity with an ERP system (we use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central)
- Analytical mindset with strong attention to detail
- Ability to work independently and communicate financial information clearly
