Reasoning

Why it fits

  • The candidate has extensive experience as a Financial Controller, matching the job title and responsibilities closely.
  • They have led finance functions and been part of executive management, aligning with the seniority required.
  • The candidate has strong skills in financial controls, reporting, and turnaround, relevant to the job's financial leadership tasks.
  • They have experience in manufacturing industries, which is somewhat related to the food and beverage manufacturing sector of the job.
  • The candidate is open to hybrid and on-site work modes, which fits the job's hybrid requirement.

Watch-outs

  • The candidate lacks the specific professional certifications (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) required by the job.
  • The candidate's recent roles do not mention experience with group consolidation, statutory accounts under FRS 102, or audit management explicitly.
  • The job is located in Trafford Park, Manchester, which is a significant distance from the candidate's location in Droitwich Spa, with no indication of willingness to relocate.
  • The candidate's industry experience is primarily in fabricated metal products and transportation equipment manufacturing, which is less directly relevant to the food and beverage manufacturing sector.
