They are used to working with managers, colleagues and external stakeholders, and can adjust their communication style depending on the audience and urgency of the issue. The candidate is particularly strong in financial reporting and general ledger management, and tends to approach problems by understanding the detail first before deciding on a practical next step. They have also had exposure to professional services, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a role where they can broaden their responsibilities. In their next move, more exposure to complex work is an important consideration. They are comfortable in busy environments and prefer roles where priorities are communicated clearly. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
