Job description

Position Overview We are seeking a Finance and Accounting Associate or Senior Associate who combines strong accounting fundamentals, financial analysis skills, and a practical interest in AI and automation.
You will take ownership of client accounting and monthly closes, turn financial data into useful analysis, and improve the systems and workflows behind the work. You should be comfortable moving from reconciling an account and preparing an adjusting entry to building a forecast or using AI to streamline a recurring process.
This is a hands on, client facing role. You will work directly with clients and collaborate with our Accounting and Analytics teams, Managers, and Partners. We are looking for someone who can take messy financial information, resolve discrepancies, and deliver accurate, well supported results with limited day to day supervision.

Key Responsibilities

• Independently manage monthly closes for assigned clients, from transaction review through financial statement preparation.
• Maintain accurate accounting records in QuickBooks Online and other client systems.
• Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, payment processors, and other balance sheet accounts.
• Prepare and support adjusting entries, including accruals, prepayments, depreciation, and payroll related entries.
• Review accounts payable and receivable, investigate discrepancies, and follow up on outstanding items.
• Prepare P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statements with clear supporting schedules.
• Maintain organized workpapers and communicate unresolved issues or accounting judgments that require review.

Financial Planning and Analysis

• Build and maintain budgets, forecasts, and cash flow projections using top down and bottom up approaches.
• Prepare budget versus actual analyses and explain the drivers of financial performance.
• Analyze client specific metrics, including revenue growth, margins, burn rate, runway, MRR, customer acquisition cost, and lifetime value, where relevant.
• Develop reports and dashboards that help clients understand their businesses.
• Gather, clean, and reconcile financial and operational data across multiple sources.

AI Automation and Process Improvement

• Use AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT to assist with data analysis, reconciliations, workpaper preparation, research, and reporting.
• Validate AI generated outputs against source records and accounting principles, taking responsibility for the accuracy of the final work.
• Identify repetitive tasks and build practical, repeatable workflows that reduce manual effort and improve consistency.
• Help connect information across accounting systems, spreadsheets, reporting tools, and client platforms.
• Document successful workflows so they can be maintained and used across the team.
• Handle client information responsibly and follow firm requirements when using AI and other tools.

Client Collaboration

• Work directly with clients to understand their operations, obtain information, and resolve open questions.
• Manage deadlines and communicate progress across multiple client engagements.
• Translate financial findings into clear explanations and actionable observations.
• Work with Managers and Partners on complex issues while independently moving routine work forward.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or a related field.
• Typically three or more years of relevant accounting and finance experience, with demonstrated ability to independently complete a monthly close.
• Solid knowledge of US GAAP fundamentals, financial statements, reconciliations, and adjusting entries.
• Hands on experience with QuickBooks Online.
• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills, including formulas, pivot tables, lookups, and financial modeling.
• Experience preparing budgets, forecasts, or financial analyses.
• Practical experience using AI tools in accounting, finance, or data workflows, with the ability to explain how you checked the results.
• A proactive approach to learning new systems and improving how work gets done.
• Attention to detail and persistence when working through incomplete records, messy data, or ambiguous questions.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and communicate clearly with clients and colleagues.
• Advanced English and fluent Spanish, with clear written and verbal communication in both.

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting US based clients or early to mid stage startups.
• Experience with Power BI, Tableau, or similar reporting tools.
• Familiarity with automation platforms, APIs, or AI assisted coding.
• Experience with crypto accounting or businesses with complex transaction flows.
• Examples of workflows or tools you have built that improved accuracy, reduced manual work, or accelerated a close.

What We Offer

• Direct exposure to a range of clients, industries, and business models.
• The opportunity to own meaningful client work and help shape how our firm uses AI in finance and accounting.
• Close collaboration with experienced finance and accounting professionals across our Mexico and New York teams.
• Opportunities for professional development across accounting, FP&A, and automation.
• Monthly gross compensation of MXN $25,000 to $45,000, depending on experience.
• Annual year end bonus equivalent to 15 days of pay.
• Medical insurance starting in your third month.
• 80% remote work, with periodic in person sessions in Mexico City.
