The posting

Ambition has no passport. That belief is why LemFi https://lemfi.com/en-gb/careers exists. We're the financial engine for people the world wasn't built to serve, the millions who move countries to build something better and find the financial system hasn't caught up with them yet. We started with remittances: the money people send home to the people they love. Now we run multi-currency accounts, Savings, eSIMs and Credit. Because staying connected to home and building somewhere new are not two separate things. They never were.

ABOUT THE ROLE

LemFi's European business is built around a Central Bank of Ireland-authorised payment institution that began trading in 2026 and is the hub for our growth across the EU. As European Entity Controller, reporting to the Head of Finance Europe, you are the day-to-day finance lead for all our European entities - owning the close, the statutory accounts, the regulatory returns and the safeguarding work that keeps our CBI licence in good standing.

You will partner closely with the Head of Finance Europe and local leadership on board reporting, tax and business decisions, and with Group Finance on accounting policy, the close timetable and consolidation. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role in a fast-moving fintech: the kind of place where the work is real, the stakes are tangible and there is no one else to hand it to.

WHAT YOU'LL BUILD AND OWN

- Own the monthly European close - deliver accurate, on-time results for all European entities, aligned to Group timetables and accounting policies.

- Prepare and file statutory accounts - FRS 102 / IFRS under the Companies Act 2014, filed with the CRO on time, with a clean audit every year.

- Own CBI regulatory reporting - prepare own-funds and capital adequacy returns for review by the Head of Finance Europe, with no surprises.

- Meet daily safeguarding requirements - prepare the daily safeguarding calculation, review reconciliations, escalate breaches and support the annual safeguarding audit.

- Prepare board-level reporting - build board packs on performance, capital, safeguarding and regulatory matters for the local board and its committees.

- Partner with Group Finance and local leadership - align accounting policies, agree intercompany balances, support consolidation and feed into budgets and business decisions.

- Automate and scale the function - work with Finance Systems and Data to reduce manual effort in regulatory and close processes, and document procedures so the function is resilient.

YOUR EXPERIENCE

- ACA, ACCA or CPA Ireland qualified, with 7+ years of post-qualification experience in regulated financial services.

- Hands-on experience of CBI regulatory returns, own-funds calculations and safeguarding under the EU (Payment Services) Regulations 2018.

- Proven track record of Irish statutory accounts and clean audits in a CBI-regulated environment.

- Comfortable working closely with senior finance and safeguarding leads, and presenting to local and Group leadership.

- Experience with NetSuite or a comparable ERP, and confidence handling high volumes of multi-currency transactions including FX revaluation.

- Based in Ireland and ready to be a visible, senior finance presence for the European business.

NICE TO HAVE

- Big 4 or similar audit background.

- Payment institution or EMI experience, ideally in remittance or cross-border payments.

- Experience supporting a CBI authorisation or a newly authorised firm in its first years of trading.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
