About the role
About the company
Picture this: 60+ locations across Mexico City, a product people are genuinely obsessed with, and a leadership team that moves fast and builds smart. This is a consumer brand in full-scale growth mode — the kind of place where the decisions you make today will still be visible in the business five years from now. They're not a corporate machine. They're a founder-led operation with real traction, real numbers, and a real need for someone who can own the financial backbone of the business.
Why this role is exciting
Most finance roles at this level are about maintaining. This one is about building. You'll be the person who puts structure where there's momentum — the experienced hand in the room who makes sure the business is growing right, not just growing fast. You'll report directly to the CEO, work closely with a Head of Finance counterpart in Asia, and lead a team of three accountants who need a great mentor as much as they need a great manager.
If you've ever wanted a seat at the table where real growth decisions get made — this is it.
What you'll own
- Accounting operations end to end: books, local cash management, reporting, compliance, and local regulatory requirements — all clean, all current, all audit-ready at any given moment
- Team leadership: manage and grow a team of three accountants; be the person who raises their game
- Financial truth: build and maintain sources of truth for revenue, costs, and all key metrics — so leadership always knows exactly where the business stands
- Scalable processes: design the finance infrastructure that can keep up as the company keeps opening doors
What success looks like
In six months, the numbers are clean and everyone knows it. Reports are reliable. The team is stronger. And when an auditor walks in, you're ready — not scrambling.
Requirements
Who they're looking for
- Senior finance professional with strong accounting fundamentals
- Someone who has worked in startups, lean teams, or low-bureaucracy environments — you know how to build, not just maintain
- A natural mentor who leads by doing and raises the people around them
- Comfortable reporting directly to a founder/CEO and operating with autonomy
- Mexico City-based
