SOC 1137 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £86,000, and Forvis Mazars in the UK is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified., Senior leadership of support function could be functional manager n.e.c.). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
