About the opportunity

We're partnering with a growing, internationally-oriented company that is strengthening its finance and accounting function in Mexico. The business operates across more than one market (including Brazil) and is looking for a hands-on finance professional to become the local anchor for its Mexican operation.

This is a role for someone who enjoys owning the numbers end-to-end — combining strong technical accounting knowledge with the judgment to spot risks early and the presence to be a trusted point of contact for the business, banks, auditors, and regulators alike.

What you'll do

• Own end-to-end local accounting for the Mexican entity: bookkeeping, tax, reporting, reconciliations, and treasury.

• Ensure full compliance with Mexican tax and accounting regulations and practices.

• Review and analyze financial statements, accounting records, reconciliations, cash flow, collections, invoicing, provisions, and revenue-related topics.

• Act as the trusted local finance point of contact for Mexico, coordinating with finance, operations, and commercial teams, as well as banks, external providers, auditors, and regulatory bodies.

• Lead and develop a small finance/accounting team.

• Proactively identify inconsistencies, risks, and financial red flags, and recommend corrective action.

• Operate and get the most out of the company's ERP environment (ideally Compaq and/or NetSuite).

• Contribute to process improvement, automation, and the implementation of stronger financial controls.

Must-haves

• 5+ years of experience in finance, accounting, controllership, or related roles.

• Solid experience in financial/accounting operations in Mexico — especially local accounting, tax, reporting, reconciliations, and treasury.

• Strong knowledge of Mexican tax and accounting practices.

• Strong analytical profile — able to identify inconsistencies, risks, and financial alerts.

• Clear, assertive communication with internal teams (finance, operations, commercial) and external stakeholders (banks, providers, auditors, regulators).

• Degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, Business Administration, or a related field.

• Availability to work in a hybrid model, with at least 2 days per week in the office.

Nice-to-haves
