  • The job is located in Trafford Park, Manchester, while the candidate is based in London with no indication of willingness to relocate, reducing practical fit.
  • The job requires experience with statutory accounts under FRS 102, while the candidate's experience is primarily IFRS, which may require some adjustment.
  • The candidate's industry experience is mainly in technology and health services, whereas the job is in food and beverage manufacturing, which may affect domain fit.
