Next, I would define the target operating model for invoicing, seller withholding, payments, accounting, and intercompany activity. I would then implement monthly close controls, reconcile historical transactions, and establish clear ownership with legal, engineering, payroll providers, and external tax advisers. What controls would you implement for CFDI issuance in a high-volume marketplace? I would define documented rules for invoice type, RFC validation, tax regimes, payment methods, cancellations, credit notes, global invoices, and payment complements. I would require automated validation before issuance, maintain exception queues for incomplete seller or buyer information, and test scenarios such as refunds and partial shipments. Each month, I would reconcile CFDIs issued and cancelled to platform transactions, payment records, and the general ledger. How would you manage ISR and IVA withholding obligations for marketplace sellers? I would begin by mapping seller types, available RFC and tax-regime data, transaction flows, and the relevant digital-platform withholding rules. I would create data-collection and validation controls so sellers with missing or invalid tax data receive the correct treatment. I would reconcile gross sales, fees, withholding calculations, seller payouts, receipts, and monthly SAT filings, with documented reviews before submission. Describe how you would support US GAAP consolidation while maintaining Mexican statutory books. I would maintain Mexican NIF and SAT electronic-accounting records as the statutory source while preparing a documented US GAAP reporting package for consolidation. This would include a mapped chart of accounts, recurring reconciliation procedures, intercompany balances, accounting-policy differences, and close deadlines aligned with the parent company. I would communicate material variances and technical accounting issues early to the Head of Finance and auditors. How do you work effectively with engineers when tax requirements affect product workflows? I translate tax rules into concise business requirements, acceptance criteria, examples, and explicit edge cases rather than relying on legal terminology alone. I prioritize requirements by compliance risk and transaction volume, participate in testing, and confirm that reporting and audit trails are available after launch. I also monitor regulatory changes and maintain a structured change-management process so product updates remain compliant over time. Opportunity details ## About this role. About Palmstreet: [Palmstreet](https://palmstreet.app/) is a community-obsessed live shopping platform connecting over 2 million passionate collectors and sellers.

Backed by leading Silicon Valley investors, we’re building the “World’s Online Main Street”—bringing authentic personal connections and the excitement of discovering one-of-a-kind products to online commerce. We launched in Mexico in September 2026. Mexico is our first international market and the template for our expansion across Latin America. The Opportunity Palmstreet is looking for a Contador Público Certificado (Senior Accountant) to be our first finance hire in Mexico. You will own everything that keeps Palmstreet compliant in Mexico: setting up our local entity, running Mexico tax compliance, and keeping the Mexican books. You will report to our Head of Finance and work closely with our engineering team and outside advisors. You will be the person SAT-facing questions come to. This is a hands-on role: you will both design the process and do the work. The position is fully remote, based anywhere in Mexico, with regular overlap with US Pacific time. Responsibilities Entity setup and structure * Lead incorporation of our Mexican subsidiary with outside counsel: entity type, notarial deed, Public Registry of Commerce, RFC, e.firma, Certificado de Sello Digital, tax domicile and Buzón Tributario. * Advise on the operating model between our US parent and the Mexican entity, including intercompany agreements and transfer pricing documentation. * Register with IMSS, INFONAVIT and state payroll tax as we hire locally; set up bank accounts and payment flows with our payments partners. * Manage the transition from the US entity’s current Mexico registrations to the local entity. Marketplace tax compliance * Own Palmstreet’s obligations as a digital platform that intermediates sales between third parties: ISR and IVA withholding on seller sales, monthly SAT information returns, and withholding receipts to sellers. * Own IVA on our platform and seller fees, including the foreign digital services rules for as long as the US entity bills Mexican users. * Define how we collect and validate seller tax data (RFC, tax regime, constancia de situación fiscal) and the withholding rates that apply when a seller has none. * File monthly provisional ISR and IVA payments, DIOT and the annual corporate return; manage the Buzón Tributario and any SAT requests, audits or clarifications. * Track tax reform each year (Paquete Económico, Miscelánea Fiscal) and turn changes into product and process requirements. CFDI and e-invoicing * Be the business owner of our CFDI integration with a provider such as Facturapi: invoice types, uses, payment methods, global invoices to público en general, payment complements, credit notes, cancellations and withholding CFDIs. * Write CFDI requirements with engineering, test edge cases (refunds, partial shipments, cancelled orders, sellers without RFC) and reconcile issued CFDIs to transactions every month. * Monitor SAT catalog and CFDI version changes and keep us current. Accounting and reporting * Keep the Mexican entity’s books under Mexican GAAP (NIF) and SAT electronic accounting (chart of accounts and monthly trial balance submissions). * Run the monthly close for Mexico: bank, payment processor, seller payout and withholding reconciliations. * Prepare US GAAP reporting packages for consolidation and support our US audit and board reporting. * Manage local payroll compliance (ISR withholding, IMSS, PTU profit sharing) as the team grows. * Build the Mexico compliance calendar and make sure nothing is filed late. Seller Payments, Accounts Payable and Other Duties * Oversee seller payment flows, transitioning them from manual to automated payouts * Own the AP processes for the business in Mexico, ensuring timely and accurate payments to vendors * Perform other duties as assigned to build processes to enable the scaling of the business in Mexico, working cross functionally as needed Qualifications * Based in Mexico with authorization to work locally. * Licenciatura en Contaduría Pública with cédula profesional; IMCP certification (Contador Público Certificado) strongly preferred. * 7+ years in Mexican tax and accounting, including time at a Big 4 or mid-size firm and at least 2 years in-house. * Hands-on experience with CFDI 4.0 at high volume and with electronic accounting submissions. * Working knowledge of the digital platform regime (withholding on platform sellers), IVA on digital services and transfer pricing. * Experience setting up a Mexican subsidiary for a foreign parent. * Professional working proficiency in English; you will write memos and present to a US-based Head of Finance weekly. * Comfortable in spreadsheets and working with engineers on system requirements. * Fluent with latest AI tools. Nice to have * Experience at a marketplace, e-commerce, fintech or payments company. * Registered with SAT as Contador Público Inscrito to sign a dictamen fiscal. * US GAAP reporting experience for a US-parent subsidiary. * Familiarity with expansion into other Latin American countries. Your Location: Mexico Why Join Us? * Build Mexico finance from day one and shape the playbook for every Latin American market after it. * Report directly to the CFO with real ownership of a critical function. * Join a fast-paced startup where ownership, initiative and results are recognized. * Work remotely from anywhere in Mexico.
