Accounts Payable Associate
LemFi · London
Ambition has no passport. That belief is why LemFi 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 is the financial engine for people the world wasn't built to serve - powering cross-border payments, multi-currency accounts, savings, and credit across 21 countries. Our Finance team sits at the centre of all of it, and the AP function is what keeps the engine running cleanly behind the scenes.
As an Accounts Payable Associate you'll own the end-to-end processing of vendor payments across our UK, US, Canada, Ireland, Norway, Nigeria, and other entities - working across multiple currencies, GL codes, tax jurisdictions, and approval chains. You'll work closely with the wider Finance, Growth, and Operations teams, and you'll have real scope to improve the processes you inherit, not just execute them.
What you'll build and own
Process and control vendor invoices across multiple entities and currencies in Tipalti and NetSuite - accurately, on time, every time
Perform first-line GL coding, cost-centre allocation, and tax coding (VAT, reverse charge, RCS), flagging anomalies before they become problems
Run and support payment cycles - validating bank details, currency, and approval sign-off - and manage the AP inbox with clear, prompt communication to vendors and internal stakeholders
Own the monthly AP close: accruals, aged payables review, and reconciliations, with discrepancies surfaced and resolved, not buried
Maintain vendor master data (bank details, tax status, W-9/W-8 forms) with tight controls, and support audit requests with clean, well-organised evidence
Spot recurring miscoding, duplicate invoices, and process gaps - then help fix them, contributing to automation initiatives (including n8n workflows and NetSuite automation) that reduce manual effort for the whole team
Support bank statement uploads and reconciliations for the Reporting team, ensuring transactions post correctly and discrepancies are flagged fast
Your experience
1-3 years in an Accounts Payable, Finance Operations, or transactional finance role
Hands-on experience with an AP or ERP system; NetSuite and/or Tipalti strongly preferred
Comfortable processing across multiple currencies and entities; exposure to a multi-jurisdiction or group structure is a real advantage
Working knowledge of VAT and sales tax concepts - reverse charge, non-deductible VAT, or equivalent
Strong Excel skills: lookups, pivot tables, data cleanup, and reconciliation work
Detail-oriented and control-conscious, with the ability to prioritise a high volume of transactions and meet payment deadlines without dropping the ball
Clear written communicator who can liaise confidently with vendors and internal stakeholders
Nice to have
Experience in a fintech, payments, or regulated financial services environment
Exposure to automation tools (e.g. n8n) or light scripting for finance workflows
Experience supporting external audit requests (KPMG, Crowe, BKL, or similar)
