A niche industrial technology company—a global leader in its segment is looking for a Senior Accountant for Mexico. This role will build the Mexican subsidiary’s finance function from the inside out: group-level financial closes, percentage-of-completion revenue recognition, tax compliance, VAT refund management, and an accounting transition project that you will lead.

This role is for you if:

• You have C1-level English proficiency and use it daily with international teams.

Do not apply if:

• Your experience is exclusively in tax accounting or at an external accounting firm without direct reporting in English.
• You do not have a C1 level of English for meetings and reporting to the UK Finance Director.
• You have not independently run monthly closes under international standards.
• You lack hands-on experience using an ERP for bookkeeping and financial reporting.

What we offer:

• On-site position in Querétaro, with occasional international travel.
• Competitive compensation, commensurate with experience.
