  • Statutory accounts (FRS 102)
    Role needs statutory accounts under FRS 102; profile mentions group accounts and statutory compliance (VAT, PAYE, CIS) but not FRS 102 or statutory accounts.
  • Covenant reporting
    Role needs covenant reporting; profile has no mention of covenants, so this is absent from the profile rather than shown missing.

Reasoning

Why it fits

  • Candidate has extensive recent experience as Group Financial Controller, closely matching the job title and responsibilities.
  • Strong skills in management accounting, group consolidation, cashflow forecasting, and team leadership align well with job requirements.
  • Experience with Microsoft Dynamics and SAP supports the job's requirement for Dynamics 365 familiarity.
  • Candidate has senior-level experience managing finance teams and reporting to international head offices, matching the seniority level.
  • Candidate has worked in related industries including construction and real estate, which provides relevant sector experience for a manufacturing/food and beverage environment.

Watch-outs

  • The job requires ACA, ACCA, or CIMA certification which the candidate does not have, potentially a concern though not a hard conflict.
  • The job is located in Trafford Park, Manchester, while the candidate is based in London with no stated willingness to relocate, reducing practical fit.
  • The candidate's industry experience is primarily construction and real estate, which is somewhat different from the food and beverage manufacturing sector of the job.
  • The job requires hybrid work mode in Manchester, which may be difficult for the candidate given current location and no explicit relocation or commuting indication.
