## Description

We are seeking a Management Accountant to join our Finance team at Trainline. As a Management Accountant, you will be a vital part of the team, owning financial reporting and control across a portfolio of Group overhead cost areas including Marketing and Corporate Functions.

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. You will 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:

- Own monthly reporting and analysis for your designated overhead cost areas, delivering insightful commentary on variances, risks, and opportunities against budget and forecast

- Act as a trusted Finance Business Partner to budget holders and senior stakeholders across Marketing and Corporate Functions

- Take ownership of your balance sheet areas, including accruals, prepayments, month-end journals, and reconciliations

- Play an active role in annual budget, quarterly forecast, and reforecast cycles

- 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

- Coach and support junior team members

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

- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

- A proactive, ownership-driven approach

- Strong Excel skills and comfort working with large datasets and finance systems

- The ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment

- Ideally, some experience mentoring or supporting junior colleagues

Enjoy fantastic perks like private healthcare & dental insurance, a generous work from abroad policy, 2-for-1 share purchase plans, an EV Scheme to further reduce carbon emissions, extra festive time off, and excellent family-friendly benefits.
