Cost Accountant
A cost accountant is a financial professional who helps businesses understand and manage the costs involved in producing goods or delivering services. Their main goal? To make sure every penny spent is accounted for—and ideally, optimized.
Here’s what they typically do:
Analyze production costs like materials, labor, and overhead
Develop budgets and forecast future expenses
Identify inefficiencies and suggest cost-saving strategies
Support pricing decisions by calculating the true cost of products or services
Prepare internal financial reports to guide management decisions
Unlike financial accountants, who focus on external reporting (like tax filings or investor reports), cost accountants work behind the scenes to help companies run more efficiently
The London Borough of Hackney (/ˈhækni/ ⓘ HAK-nee) is a London borough in Inner London, England. The historical and administrative heart of Hackney is Mare Street, which lies 5 miles (8 km) north-east of Charing Cross. The borough is named after Hackney, its principal district. Southern and eastern parts of the borough are popularly regarded as being part of east London that spans some of the traditional East End of London with the northwest belonging to north London. Its population is estimated to be 281,120.
The London Plan issued by the Greater London Authority assigns whole boroughs to sub-regions for statutory monitoring, engagement and resource allocation purposes. The most recent (2011) iteration of this plan assigns Hackney to the 'East' sub-region,[2] while the 2008 and 2004 versions assigned the borough to "North" and "East" sub-regions respectively. The modern borough was formed in 1965 by the merger of the Metropolitan Borough of Hackney with the much smaller Metropolitan Boroughs of Stoke Newington and Shoreditch.
Hackney is bounded by Islington to the west, Haringey to the north, Waltham Forest to the north-east, Newham to the east, Tower Hamlets to the south-east and the City of London to the south-west. Hackney was one of the host boroughs of the London Olympics in 2012, with several of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park venues falling within its boundaries.
