Job Overview If you’re a mid-career cost accountant and ready for real ownership, real visibility, and the opportunity to influence how a manufacturing business thinks about cost, this is the role where it happens. The Flexan group, part of Ingersoll Rand, is seeking a Cost Accountant with manufacturing experience who brings strong analytical capability and sound accounting fundamentals—someone who can move seamlessly between the discipline of accounting and the deeper analysis that drives smarter operational decisions.

Beyond execution, the role plays a key part in strengthening costing processes, improving data integrity, and enhancing reporting and internal controls that help move the organization forward.
