Typical work may include developing and monitoring budgets, reviewing standard and actual costs, evaluating inventory valuation, investigating cost variances, and supporting month-end and year-end close. Managers may also improve internal controls, coordinate audits, build forecasts, and partner with operations, supply chain, and finance teams to identify opportunities for efficiency.
