What I'm looking for

I’m looking for Mexico-only remote work starting August 2026, where I can own GAAP month-end/quarterly close, strengthen reconciliations and SOX controls, and support audits with dependable zero-finding outcomes.

I’m a Senior Accountant with 26+ years of full-cycle GAAP accounting across hospitality, real estate, agriculture, media, and manufacturing. I independently manage month-end and quarterly close cycles, prepare journal entries and accruals, complete 15+ balance sheet reconciliations per period, and support external audits with zero findings over 5 consecutive years.

In my current Accounting Manager role, I lead month-end and quarterly close across 4 resort entities, consistently closing within 3 business days while maintaining zero-finding SOX compliance for 5 consecutive annual audits. I also oversee ~$500K monthly AP volume, run payroll and commission audits, and author SOPs to transfer knowledge to offshore teams—delivering full operational continuity with no audit findings during transitions.
