Reasoning

Why it fits

  • Candidate currently holds the Financial Controller role, matching the job title exactly.
  • Candidate has ACCA certification, which is required for the job.
  • Candidate has about 6 years of relevant accounting experience including financial control and management reporting.
  • Candidate has senior-level experience consistent with the job's seniority.
  • Candidate has experience in financial services/funds which is somewhat relevant to the food and beverage manufacturing sector.

Watch-outs

  • Job requires hybrid work in Trafford Park, Manchester, while candidate is located in Hull with no indication of willingness to relocate, reducing practical fit.
  • Candidate lacks explicit experience with group consolidation and statutory accounts under FRS 102, which are key job tasks.
  • Candidate has no stated experience with Dynamics 365, the required tool for the job.
  • Candidate's industry experience is in funds and trusts, which is less directly relevant to food and beverage manufacturing.
