Standard Costing Analyst Casper’s Ice Cream | Richmond, Utah (remote considered) | Full-TimeAbout UsIn 1925, Casper Merrill made the original Ice Cream Nut Sundae on a Stick in a ten-gallon milk can and sold it at the local 4th of July celebration. People wanted more! Today, FatBoy is AMERICA’S #1 BEST SELLING ICE CREAM SANDWICH, along with a growing portfolio of premium ice cream novelties and our Jolly Llama brand of dairy-free and gluten-free treats. Today, we’re still headquartered in Richmond, Utah, where it all began over a century ago.
The Opportunity: We went live on Microsoft Business Central and standard costing in 2026. Now we need someone to take our costing analysis to the next level.

  • Review new items, BOMs, and routings before they create problems.
  • Build and roll annual product standards and support inventory revaluation.
  • Provide cost-driver inputs for budgets and forecasts, and support SKU profitability, pricing, and make-vs-buy decisions.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
