What I'm looking for
I'm a finance and accounting professional with full professional proficiency in English and Spanish, with 15+ years of experience across Big 4 audit (PwC), multinational corporate finance (Nike Mexico), and consulting. I've owned SG&A financial planning for a ~$25–30M USD budget within a ~$700M USD revenue operation, and built everything from budgeting frameworks to GRC compliance programs from scratch. I combine deep technical finance skills with hands-on experience in ERP systems and AI-powered reporting tools. I'm based in Guadalajara, Mexico, fully remote-ready, and looking for a Finance or Accounting Manager role with a North American company where I can make a real impact.
