  • Review statutory financial statements and regulatory reports, including submissions to the Transport Authority.
  • Lead budgeting, forecasting, and period‑end reporting for the post‑concession legal entity.

  • It is essential that you've worked for a Train Operating Company (TOC)
  • Fully qualified accountant – ACA, ACCA or CIMA
  • IFRS and UKGAAP reporting standards
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
