Senior Accountant at Lemfi to build scalable accounting and financial control processes for a fast-growing fintech company.
Responsibilities
- LemFi's finance function is being built for scale while the company grows fast across the globe. As a Senior Accountant reporting to the Head of Finance, you'll help lay the foundations: scalable accounting processes, stronger financial controls, and reporting that lands accurately and on time across every entity.
- This is a hands-on role for someone who likes building in a fast-moving fintech. You'll pair real technical accounting depth with a practical, problem-solving instinct, working across teams and with external partners to build a finance operation that is lean, reliable, and ready to scale.
Requirements
- Relevant accounting experience, ideally in a fast-growth business: fintech, tech, or somewhere similarly dynamic.
- ACA, ACCA, ICAEW, or an equivalent accounting qualification.
- You've prepared statutory and non-statutory financial statements as well as monthly management accounts.
- You've supported or led audits and worked directly with external auditors and financial partners.
- A strong grip on accounting standards and financial controls, and the judgement to apply them in practice.
- Confident working with financial data and building reporting processes that scale.
- Proactive and organised. You find issues, dig into the root cause, and resolve them with minimal oversight.
Nice to have
- NetSuite experience.
- Familiarity with Tableau or Looker.
Conditions
- Love shouldn’t be expensive, yet those working hardest for their families often face predatory fees and banking exclusion. We're changing this.
- At LemFi, you won’t be just a cog in a machine. Whether designing products, scaling operations, or telling our story, you’ll tackle complex challenges with real, immediate impact. Your work goes beyond metrics - it puts money back in families’ pockets and offers access to the previously excluded. Join us to make a meaningful difference, where high performance is a lifeline for millions. You can connect with us on LinkedIn and Instagram and if you haven't already, download the app on the App Store or Google Play .
Other
- LemFi (Series B) is building the go-to financial app for the Global South.
- Moving to a new country shouldn’t mean starting from zero. That's why our team of 400+ spanning 20+ countries is building a financial ecosystem that helps immigrants stay connected to home, build stability, and create wealth regardless of where they are from or where they live.
- What began as fast, affordable remittances is now evolving into a complete platform for multi-currency accounts, payments, credit, and long-term financial growth.
- With millions of users across the globe, we process over $1B in monthly transactions to 30+ countries, proving that borders shouldn't limit financial opportunity.
- Build scalable accounting and financial control processes that keep up with LemFi's growth, not ones you'll outgrow in a quarter.
- Own the month-end close for your entities and deliver accurate management accounts on time, every time.
- Prepare entity-level financial statements in line with applicable GAAP, and get every filing in on schedule.
- Run point on audits. Work directly with external auditors, tax advisors and financial partners to keep them clean.
- Strengthen internal controls, reporting systems and documentation so compliance and efficiency move together.
- Partner with the data team to turn financial reporting into real visibility, using tools like Tableau and Looker.
- Work across finance, data and business teams to line up accounting outputs with FP&A and what the business actually needs.
