Accountant

Join LemFi, a rapidly growing fintech company, as an Accountant. In this hands-on role, you will own core accounting activities, drive process improvements, and contribute to financial reporting. You will have real ownership, direct exposure to leadership, and the opportunity to shape the finance function as LemFi scales across multiple markets. This position is ideal for someone early in their career who is sharp, curious, and eager to grow.

• Own reconciliations, month-end close, and day-to-day accounting tasks, ensuring financial processes are outputting accurate, reliable results.
• Identify gaps in financial processes and take ownership of fixing them, looking for opportunities to automate repetitive tasks as the company grows.
• Work closely with the wider Finance team and stakeholders to ensure timely, accurate reporting that supports decision-making across the business.
• This is a hands-on role for someone early in their career who is sharp, curious, and genuinely wants to grow
• Proactive and solutions-focused: Able to identify issues, investigate root causes, and resolve problems independently you spot what's broken and fix it
• Comfortable in a scaling business: Thrives in environments where structures are still being built and refined, with the adaptability to respond as priorities change
• Genuinely curious about technology: Interested in how AI and automation can make finance better, whether that's experience from a current role or things you've explored in your own time
• Sharp and switched on: You pick things up fast, ask good questions, and don't need everything spelled out for you. Brain over box-ticking
• Detail-oriented and reliable: Committed to producing accurate financial information and maintaining high standards in a fast-paced environment
• Solid understanding of core accounting processes including reconciliations, month-end close, and how financial data flows
• Proactive, organised, and able to identify, investigate, and resolve issues with minimal oversight
• Exposure to automation tools, AI, or workflow improvement is a plus, even personal experimentation counts
• Newly qualified or up to 2 years post-qualification experience (ACA, ACCA, ICAEW, or equivalent) you're early in your career but you've got the fundamentals nailed
• A consulting or Big Four background is welcome, particularly if you're motivated to move into an environment with more ownership and pace
• Driven and adaptable you'd rather work somewhere you can grow and make an impact than coast in a comfortable but static role
• Comfortable with ambiguity you can prioritise and move without always being told what comes first
• Don’t meet every single requirement in the job ad? Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds often hesitate to apply if they don't check every box.
