1Question

Tell me about a time when you had to influence senior leadership on a financial decision

When our manufacturing division was considering a £800k equipment purchase, initial projections showed a 4-year payback period. I conducted deeper analysis revealing maintenance costs weren't factored in, extending payback to 6 years. I presented alternative leasing options to the board, demonstrating how a 3-year lease would reduce upfront costs by 65% and provide upgrade flexibility. The leadership team accepted my recommendation, ultimately saving £520k in initial capital expenditure while maintaining operational efficiency.
2Question

Describe a challenging forecasting situation you faced and how you resolved it

During a major product launch, our initial sales forecast was tracking 35% below projections after 2 months, threatening our annual targets. I implemented weekly rolling forecasts instead of monthly updates, incorporating real-time market feedback from the sales team. I also created scenario models showing best, worst and most likely outcomes. This approach identified seasonal patterns we'd missed and revealed that customer adoption was slower but more sustained than expected. The revised forecast proved 92% accurate and helped leadership adjust marketing spend effectively.
