Reasoning

Why it fits

  • The candidate currently holds the title Financial Controller, matching the job title exactly.
  • Extensive experience in financial control, reporting, budgeting, and team leadership aligns well with job requirements.
  • Senior-level experience managing finance functions and working with senior leadership teams.
  • Experience in engineering services industry is relevant to the job's industry focus.
  • Candidate is open to hybrid work modes and is based in the UK, supporting practical fit.

Watch-outs

  • The job requires specific certification (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA) which is not explicitly confirmed for the candidate despite 'Certified Accountant' mention.
  • The candidate is located in Aberdeen, which is a significant distance from Manchester, reducing practical fit for hybrid on-site requirements.
  • The candidate's recent roles do not explicitly mention experience with group consolidation, statutory accounts under FRS 102, or Dynamics 365, which are key job skills.
  • The job is in food and beverage manufacturing, a sector less represented in the candidate's background, which is more focused on oil and gas and engineering services.
