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

​Radcliffe-on-Trent is a village and civil parish in the Rushcliffe borough of Nottinghamshire, England. The population of the civil parish at the Census 2011 was 8,205, falling slightly at the Census 2021 to 8,144.

Radcliffe has a population of about 8,000. It is to the east of Nottingham, close to but not part of the Greater Nottingham built-up area. However, the Greater Nottingham Partnership sees the whole of Rushcliffe as part of the conurbation.

The village lies on the south bank and cliff overlooking the River Trent. The "Rad" part of its name is a corruption of the Old English for red, in reference to the dark red colour of the cliffs, which are formed of Triassic red shale with gypsum banding.

Nearby places are Shelford, East Bridgford, Holme Pierrepont and Stoke Bardolph.
