This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1131 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £75,100, and Investigo 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 2421 (Chartered and certified accountants, Qualified accountant role, but work is business partnering not accounting) or SOC 3534 (Financial accounts managers, Manages financial planning and cost base, but senior partnering role). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
