INTRODUCING THE TRAINLINE FINANCE TEAM 👋
Trainline's Finance team sits at the heart of the business, keeping our financial operations running with accuracy, integrity, and confidence across our UK and international businesses. Within this team, the Financial Control function is responsible for the processes that underpin sound financial management - from month-end reporting to supplier payments - spanning nine Accounts Payable ledgers across the group. As Trainline continues to grow, the Accounts Payable function plays an increasingly important role in maintaining strong financial controls and healthy supplier relationships.
As an Accounts Payable Clerk, you will join a close-knit team of five, reporting to the Accounts Payable Manager. You will take ownership of day-to-day AP activity - from processing invoices and managing multi-currency payment runs to supporting process improvements and the Finance transformation programme. This is a role where your attention to detail and collaborative approach will make a real difference, and you will work closely with colleagues across all departments and offices, as well as with external suppliers and partners.

- Administer company-issued credit card expenditure and support the AP cashbook, ensuring all transactions are recorded correctly and in a timely manner
- Process weekly multi-currency payment runs for both supplier invoices and employee expenses, ensuring payments are made accurately and in line with Trainline's payment terms
- Investigate and resolve outstanding aged creditor items, proactively working to clear balances and maintain the integrity of the ledger
- Assist with AP month-end close procedures and support the Treasury team with any AP payment-related queries
- Support non-finance colleagues with the purchasing process, including guidance on raising and receipting purchase orders, helping to ensure smooth invoice processing across the business
- Manage incoming internal and external queries via the Accounts Payable mailbox, providing clear and timely responses to suppliers and stakeholders alike
- Identify and help implement process improvements within the AP function, contributing to Trainline's Finance transformation programme by testing new tools, streamlining workflows, and documenting best practices
