Job description

We’re hiring a full-time Cost Accountant to join Babco Foods. This is not a routine accounting role. We are looking for someone who can deeply understand pricing, margins, profitability, promotions, operational costs, and market dynamics, and help drive strategic business decisions across a fast-growing international food distribution business.


Location: India (remote)

Required Collaboration Hours: Mon-Fri 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. US Eastern Time

Experience: 7–15 years


What This Role Requires

  • You understand how pricing impacts sales, profitability, and market competitiveness
  • You can analyze large operational and financial variables simultaneously
  • You think commercially — not just from an accounting perspective
  • You can independently build models, identify risks, and recommend actions
  • You are comfortable working directly with executive leadership on high-impact initiatives


Core Responsibilities

  • Own pricing analysis across products, customers, markets, logistics, and distribution channels
  • Track and analyze profitability drivers including freight, warehousing, packaging, sourcing, duties, and operational costs
  • Build financial models and scenario analyses to support pricing decisions and growth initiatives
  • Develop margin optimization strategies while ensuring sales competitiveness and affordability
  • Create and monitor product-level, customer-level, and channel-level profitability reporting
  • Partner with leadership and sales teams to develop promotional strategies and pricing initiatives
  • Identify cost leakages, margin risks, and operational inefficiencies
  • Support future expansion initiatives through forecasting, modeling, and financial analysis


Hard Requirements

  • 7+ years of cost accounting and profitability analysis experience in manufacturing, distribution, FMCG, food, or related industries
  • CMA (India) or equivalent professional qualification required
  • Strong expertise in pricing analysis, cost allocation, and profitability modeling
  • Advanced Excel and financial modeling capabilities
  • Ability to understand operational workflows and convert them into financial insights
  • Strong analytical thinking and high attention to detail
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision


Strong Plus

  • Experience in food distribution, FMCG, manufacturing, or import/export industries
  • Exposure to Middle East and international markets
  • Understanding of global logistics and supply chain cost structures
  • Experience working with ERP systems and operational reporting
  • Commercial or strategic finance experience beyond traditional accounting


Important

  • No agencies
  • This is an ownership role - not a task-execution role
  • This is a high-impact strategic position working directly with executive leadership


About Us

Babco Foods is a US-based, family-owned, food distribution company expanding aggressively into international markets.


We are building systems, processes, and operational infrastructure for the next stage of growth — and this role will directly influence pricing strategy, profitability, and business expansion decisions.


If you want to work on real business problems with real operational impact, this is the role.


To Apply

Send your resume + a brief description of the most commercially impactful pricing or profitability project you’ve worked on.
