Keep our operations sharp – and our numbers even sharper.

If you're a hands-on, process-minded Management Accountant ready to make a tangible impact – this is your chance to shape the future of finance at NP Aerospace.

We’re a global leader in advanced armour systems, working at the frontline of defence innovation. As part of our growing Finance team, you’ll play a critical role in delivering accurate financial insight, driving process improvement, and partnering across our business – especially within our Armour division.

You’ll lead on monthly management accounts, costing, and cash flow – while also helping to streamline financial controls and evolve finance into a more strategic partner. You’ll report directly to our Financial Controller and work closely with our Finance Director – so there’s real scope to influence, develop, and grow.

You’ll fit right in if you’re:

• Part- or fully-qualified (CIMA, ACCA, ACA or equivalent)
• Confident with Excel and thrive on balancing detail with big-picture insight
• Passionate about improving finance processes – not just keeping things ticking over
• Comfortable juggling monthly accounts, audits, and business partnering
• Positive, proactive and able to work with both technical and non-finance colleagues

We’re scaling up, not slowing down – and we want finance professionals who are excited by growth and transformation. We offer:

Hybrid working
Discretionary half-year bonus
25 days’ holiday + 8 bank holidays (+ holiday purchase scheme)
Flexible working hours (subject to business needs)
Pension (9% combined – 4% ER / 5% EE)
Life cover (3x salary)
BHSF cash healthcare plan
Two weeks’ paid leave for Reservists

What you'll be doing:
Financial Reporting & Analysis

• Deliver monthly management accounts, variance analysis, and group reporting
• Complete balance sheet reconciliations and manage accruals
• Own fixed asset registers and depreciation schedules
• Monitor cash flow and foreign exchange impacts
• Maintain standard and current costs for all item types
• Ensure robust controls and reporting across inventory

Compliance & Audit

• Support internal and external audit processes
• Prepare sales tax calculations for the UK and Canada
