This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2421 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £49,200, and C5 Capital 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 3533 (Financial and accounting technicians, Title 'Financial controller' is in index for 3533 without qualification requirement) or SOC 1131 (Financial managers and directors, Role manages financial operations but not primarily people/budget management). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
