Financial Analyst

Location: Querétaro, Mexico

Employment Type: Full-time, temporary assignment

Assignment Duration: Six months

International Paper is seeking a responsible, highly organised and proactive Financial Analyst to support the continuity of its administrative and financial operations during a six-month temporary assignment.

The successful candidate will receive a structured handover of several essential processes and will be expected to learn them quickly, document key information and execute recurring activities with accuracy and progressively greater autonomy.

This opportunity is particularly suitable for an early-career professional who has recently completed an internship or gained initial experience in finance, accounting or administration. We also welcome applications from professionals returning to the workforce who are ready to resume a fast-paced, deadline-driven role.

Success in this position will require intellectual curiosity, humility, sound judgement and a genuine willingness to learn. We are looking for someone who asks thoughtful questions, responds constructively to feedback and takes ownership of commitments through completion.

Key Responsibilities

• Corporate Services Invoicing Administer and record invoices related to corporate services, including vehicle leasing, fleet maintenance, domestic and international courier services, printing services and mobile telephone services. Review invoices and supporting documentation for completeness and accuracy before submitting them for payment. Maintain reliable controls over invoices received, pending approval, rejected, accrued and paid. Investigate discrepancies and coordinate the necessary corrections with suppliers and internal stakeholders.
• Purchase Requisitions and Orders Create purchase requisitions in SAP and monitor the corresponding approval workflow. Follow up on the creation and status of corporate purchase orders. Prepare and update accruals related to corporate services. Confirm the appropriate receipt of goods or services and support the administrative closure of transactions. Escalate delayed approvals, rejected requests, discrepancies and potential payment risks promptly.
• Supplier and Payment Administration Monitor the invoicing and payment of office rent and maintenance, utilities, telecommunications, records storage, administrative services and courier services. Request missing documentation, account statements and payment clarifications from suppliers. Coordinate effectively with Procurement, Accounts Payable and other internal functions. Maintain clear evidence of requests, approvals, services received, payments and outstanding actions.
• Corporate Card Programme Process new card requests, replacements, blocks and cancellations. Coordinate changes to authorised credit limits. Follow up on disputed transactions and employee enquiries. Prepare and validate payment layouts in accordance with the established calendar. Maintain updated records of cardholders, limits, transactions and pending actions.
• SAP Concur Administration Process user registrations and terminations in SAP Concur. Provide guidance and training to employees on the platform and applicable expense procedures. Review and approve expense reports within the assigned level of authority. Download expense reports and support related reconciliations, questions and exceptions. Follow up with employees to obtain corrections or missing supporting documentation.
• Operational Continuity and Knowledge Transfer Participate actively in the transfer of responsibilities before the temporary coverage begins. Document procedures, deadlines, controls, contacts, decision criteria and relevant exceptions. Learn assigned processes quickly and apply the knowledge with accuracy. Raise questions, errors, risks and inconsistencies immediately. Maintain effective controls and traceability throughout the assignment. Prepare a complete and orderly handover of processes, documentation and outstanding actions at the end of the six-month period.

Candidate Profile

Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Accounting, Finance or a related discipline. Recently completed internship or up to approximately two years of experience in administrative, accounting or financial activities. Professionals returning to the workforce may also be considered if they demonstrate current knowledge, availability and readiness to operate in a deadline-driven environment.

Familiarity with SAP Concur, Accounts Payable, purchase requisitions, purchase orders, supplier administration or expense management would be advantageous.
