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.

* 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
