Reasoning

Why it fits

  • The candidate currently holds a Site Financial Controller role, closely matching the job title Financial Controller.
  • Strong experience in financial reporting, FP&A, budgeting, costing, and inventory control aligns well with the job's financial control and audit management tasks.
  • The candidate holds a CIMA qualification, which is one of the required certifications for the job.
  • The candidate has senior-level experience consistent with the job's seniority requirement.
  • The candidate has experience in manufacturing and building services, which is somewhat relevant to the food and beverage manufacturing industry of the job.

Watch-outs

  • The job requires experience with group consolidation and statutory accounts under FRS 102, which is not explicitly evidenced in the candidate's history.
  • The job requires leadership of a finance team and audit management, which the candidate's history does not clearly demonstrate at the group level.
  • The job location is Trafford Park, Manchester, while the candidate is based in Biggleswade, with no indication of willingness to relocate, reducing practical fit.
  • The job requires use of Dynamics 365 ERP, which the candidate has not demonstrated experience with.
