Great journeys start with Trainline 🚄

We’re Europe’s leading independent rail platform, helping millions of travellers find and book the best-value rail and coach journeys across our app, website and partner channels.

Our job is to make the green travel choice the best choice. By building a better train travel experience, we help more people choose rail - creating a positive impact for customers, our business and the planet.

We’re a team of more than 1,000 Trainliners from over 50 nationalities, working across London, Paris, Barcelona, Milan, Edinburgh and Madrid. Now is a brilliant time to join us and help shape the future of travel.

Introducing the Trainline Finance Team 👋

The Finance team at Trainline is the engine behind sound financial decision-making, providing the insight, rigour, and commercial challenge that keeps the business on course. We work closely with teams across the organisation to translate numbers into clear, actionable narratives - supporting everything from day-to-day cost management to long-term strategic planning. As a Management Accountant, you will be a vital part of this, owning financial reporting and control across a portfolio of Group overhead cost areas including Marketing and Corporate Functions.

This is a role with real breadth and genuine business impact. You will be the go-to finance partner for a range of senior stakeholders and budget holders, helping them understand performance, identify risks and opportunities, and make confident decisions. Working closely with FP&A, Financial Control, and Finance Leadership, you will contribute to both the accuracy of management reporting and the ongoing improvement of Finance processes - while also playing an active role in the development of junior colleagues within the team.

In this role as the Management Accountant, you will...🚄

- Own monthly reporting and analysis for your designated overhead cost areas, delivering insightful commentary on variances, risks, and opportunities against budget and forecast, with outputs prepared to Finance Leadership and Board reporting standards

- Act as a trusted Finance Business Partner to budget holders and senior stakeholders across Marketing and Corporate Functions, supporting financial performance, challenging assumptions, and providing clear, timely decision support

- Take ownership of your balance sheet areas - including accruals, prepayments, month-end journals, and reconciliations - ensuring completeness, accuracy, and appropriate supporting documentation at all times

- Play an active role in annual budget, quarterly forecast, and reforecast cycles, working collaboratively with stakeholders to build well-considered and robust financial plans

- Partner closely with FP&A and Financial Control to ensure consistency and integrity across management reporting, statutory reporting, and forecasting outputs

- Drive continuous improvement across Finance processes, identifying opportunities to simplify, standardise, automate, and enhance reporting, controls, and financial insight

- Support business cases, investment appraisals, and ad hoc financial analysis, helping stakeholders understand their performance picture and make well-informed decisions

- Coach and support junior team members, reviewing their work where appropriate and contributing actively to their development and growth

We’d love to hear from you if you have...🔍

- A professional accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent), combined with well-rounded experience in management accounting, month-end reporting, and balance sheet control

- Strong analytical capability, with the ability to interpret complex financial data and present it clearly and meaningfully to both finance and non-finance audiences

- A commercially curious mindset - comfortable developing a deep understanding of cost drivers, operational activities, and business priorities to deliver financial insight that genuinely informs decisions

- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage effectively with senior stakeholders and constructively challenge assumptions with confidence

- A proactive, ownership-driven approach with a demonstrable track record of identifying and implementing process improvements and automation opportunities

- Strong Excel skills and comfort working with large datasets and finance systems; experience with FP&A or BI tools would be a helpful bonus

- The ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment, bringing strong attention to detail and sound organisational skills throughout

- Ideally, some experience mentoring or supporting junior colleagues - though a genuine interest in developing others and contributing to team culture is just as valuable

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
