Finance Manager

About Lorum Global payments are not broken. Incentives are. Clearing has been deprioritized inside balance sheet driven institutions whose models rely on lending and interest. When liquidity takes priority over settlement, payments slow and certainty drops. The same financial institutions that distort clearing as providers are disadvantaged as users. They are forced into fragmented setups, inconsistent rails, duplicated compliance and unpredictable timelines. Stablecoin shortcuts and treasury pooling treat symptoms at the surface, but almost no one is rebuilding the underlying infrastructure in each market.

We are rebuilding clearing as its own specialist function. We act as a clearing and transaction banking partner for regulated institutions, with treasury built into the core so liquidity, settlement and reconciliation sit in one controlled system. Our platform unifies global and local licenses, direct central bank clearing and access to domestic rails. We allow clients to open named customer accounts in every market we operate, collecting funds and paying out through a single network while retaining full ownership of their customer relationships. Market expansion becomes as simple as one correspondent relationship, not hundreds.

Why Lorum Joining Lorum means contributing to one of the most ambitious clearing infrastructure projects in global finance. You will help shape settlement systems that perform under real regulatory standards and institutional volumes. You will build for regulated institutions that rely on precision, predictable timelines and regulatory integrity. It is about working across currencies, markets and supervisory frameworks to deliver reliable, final settlement.

Role purpose We are hiring a Finance Manager based in London to lead Lorum’s UK finance operations and play a key role in global finance activities, working closely with our Singapore Finance Manager. Reporting to the Director of Finance, you will own the daily finances of the UK entity and contribute to Lorum’s global payroll, reporting, forecasting and financial control frameworks. The UK entity operates primarily as a cost centre for the wider business, so the role is more focused on clean, tightly controlled finance operations, payroll, payments and intercompany/recharge work than on UK regulatory reporting.

• You’ll be the primary finance point of contact for the UK, supporting local entity management, working with our external tax partner on annual filings and partnering with the global finance team on consolidation, FP oversee employee expenses.
• Work with our external tax partner to deliver UK annual statutory accounts, Corporation Tax and Companies House filings, and own routine VAT submissions.
• Support audit work, preparing schedules and responding to auditor queries. The UK entity is not currently expected to be audited, but you’ll be a strong contributor to audits at group level.

Global finance contribution Support the Director of Finance with group consolidation, global month end reporting, intercompany reconciliations and global payroll oversight. Lead transfer pricing and recharge accounting for the UK entity, applying intercompany policies, ensuring cost allocations are accurate, documented and consistently applied across the group. Contribute to global budgeting and forecasting cycles, including UK financial analysis, cost allocation and variance reporting. Help maintain Lorum’s global accounting and reporting systems, ensuring data integrity and alignment across regions. Assist in the development of global finance policies, procedures and controls.
