    Role needs group consolidation; candidate profile never mentions consolidation, only single-entity month-end and reporting work.

Reasoning

Why it fits

  • The candidate currently holds the title Financial Controller, matching the job title exactly.
  • The candidate is ACCA qualified, meeting the job's certification requirement.
  • The candidate has strong experience in financial reporting, management accounting, and financial control, aligning well with the job's core tasks.
  • The candidate has senior-level experience consistent with the job's seniority requirement.
  • The candidate is located in Leeds and the job is in Manchester, which is within reasonable commuting distance or possible relocation area.

Watch-outs

  • The candidate's industry experience is primarily in surveying/utility/contractor sectors, which is somewhat different from the job's food and beverage manufacturing and engineering services sectors.
  • The job requires experience with group consolidation, statutory accounts under FRS 102, audit management, and use of Dynamics 365, which are not explicitly evidenced in the candidate's profile.
  • The job is hybrid work mode based in Trafford Park, Manchester, which may require relocation or commuting that could be a practical challenge.
  • The candidate's work history does not explicitly show leadership of a finance team or experience with PE-backed reporting and ERP implementation, which are desirable for the role.
