Senior Accountant, Lemfi

• Qualified ACA, ACCA or CIMA accountant with at least four to five years of post-qualification experience
• Background in a Big Four firm (ideally with fintech or financial services clients) or direct experience within a fintech or regulated financial services business
• Hands-on experience with statutory reporting, regulatory submissions and stakeholder management in a regulated environment - experience dealing with the Central Bank of Ireland or an equivalent regulator is a strong plus
• Proficient in NetSuite and Excel; comfortable interrogating large, complex data sets and drawing commercial conclusions from them
• Confident using AI tools to automate reconciliations, streamline processing and improve reporting speed - and rigorous about verifying outputs before relying on them
• Proven ability to work independently, prioritise under pressure and hit the ground running in a fast-paced environment with limited hand-holding
• Strong communicator who can translate complex financial information into plain language for senior management and board-level audiences

Desirable

• LemFi Europe is a fast-growing fintech authorised in Dublin and expanding across Europe, building the financial infrastructure that serves people the world has historically overlooked
• Our Finance function sits at the heart of that ambition - and this Senior Accountant role is the linchpin of our Irish entity's financial operations
• Reporting directly to the Head of Finance, you will own month-end, statutory reporting, tax and regulatory submissions end to end, and act as deputy when cover is needed
• You will work with real complexity - high volumes of data, direct exposure to the Central Bank of Ireland, and a leadership team that expects commercial insight, not just numbers. There is no legacy mess to untangle: you will build processes from scratch and make them yours
• Own the full month-end close process, producing accurate management accounts and board packs that give senior leadership a clear commercial picture every single time
• Prepare statutory accounts, tax filings and regulatory submissions to the Central Bank of Ireland, managing external auditors, tax authorities and regulators without hand-holding
• Act as deputy to the Head of Finance, stepping up to lead the function during periods of absence or when the Head of Finance is supporting the wider group
• Drive forecasting, budgeting and variance analysis, turning high volumes of raw financial data into concise, decision-ready insight for management
• Manage high-volume reconciliations and continuously improve the processes behind them, using AI tools and NetSuite automation to cut manual effort and reduce error
• Build and maintain cross-functional relationships with operations, tax and planning teams, acting as a trusted finance partner across the business
• Use AI purposefully to streamline reporting, summarise data and support commercial storytelling - while critically interrogating every output before it leaves your desk
