About David Males
As a Cost Analyst at Riddell with over 4 years of experience in manufacturing finance, I specialize in cost accounting, financial analysis, and standard costing to enhance strategic decision-making. My work focuses on conducting MTD/YTD variance analysis, improving Cost of Quality (COQ) reporting, and designing inventory financial reporting packages to increase operational transparency and reduce financial risks. At Riddell, I have contributed to implementing efficient E&O workflow processes that optimized warehouse operations and reduced large-scale inventory disposals. With advanced proficiency in SAP, Sage, and Microsoft Excel, I support month-end close activities, operational reporting, and cross-functional collaboration to drive improved financial outcomes.
