AP Accountant with US Experience

Description

At MezTal, we are looking for an AP Accountant who can own the accounts payable process end to end, apply accounting judgment, and actively participate in invoice review, follow-up, and capital-related accounting activities.

This is not a transactional AP role.

Accuracy, ownership, and follow-through are more important than volume.

What You Will Do

Accounts Payable Ownership

- Own the AP process from invoice receipt through payment.
- Review and validate invoices for accuracy, completeness, and proper approval.
- Follow up with internal stakeholders to resolve missing documentation or approvals.
- Process invoices using AP systems and accounting platforms.
- Support weekly payment runs (ACH, wires, checks).
- Reconcile AP balances and support accruals.

Accounting & Review Responsibilities

- Apply judgment when reviewing invoices, rather than simply posting transactions.
- Support month-end and quarter-end close activities.
- Assist with account reconciliations and basic financial analysis.
- Participate in internal controls and audit support activities.

Capital & Project-Related Exposure

- Review invoices related to capital improvements and projects.
- Validate supporting documentation and approvals.
- Assist in determining whether costs should be expensed or capitalized.
- Track project-related activity and support budget monitoring.

You do not need deep CAPEX experience, but you must be comfortable reviewing, questioning, and learning capital-related transactions.

Who This Role Is For

- AP professionals with 3+ years of experience who want broader accounting exposure.
- Senior AP profiles who prefer low volume, high responsibility environments.
- Candidates who are detail-oriented, organized, and proactive.
- Professionals comfortable working independently and following up with multiple stakeholders.
- Candidates with strong English who can communicate clearly with U.S.-based teams.

Who This Role Is NOT For

- Candidates seeking high-volume, repetitive invoice processing roles.
- AP clerks or junior AP profiles with limited accounting exposure.
- Professionals who prefer strictly task-based work without ownership or analysis.

Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
- 3+ years of experience in Accounts Payable
- 3+ years of experience in Accounting roles.
- Strong attention to detail and sense of ownership.
- Ability to apply accounting logic and ask the right questions.
- Advanced English proficiency is required, as the role involves daily interaction with U.S.-based managers and team.
- Availability to work in a hybrid manner at our offices in Guadalajara, Mexico at Midtown Jalisco.
