Staff Accountant

About Turn

Turn is a venture-backed B2B software company built for the realities of high-volume hiring. Our platform runs pre-employment background checks and continuous monitoring, and integrates directly into the systems employers already hire with — so teams in hospitality, staffing, construction, healthcare, and real estate can screen candidates fast without giving up compliance. We’re a small, fully remote team that moves quickly and ships real things.

About the Role

We're growing our Finance team and looking for a sharp, analytical Staff Accountant based in Mexico City. You'll own core day-to-day accounting, reconciliations, journal entries, and record-keeping, while partnering closely with our US-based finance function. This is a hands-on role with real scope to shape processes as we scale, ideal for an accountant who is as comfortable in a bank reconciliation as they are in a pivot table. This position reports directly to our VP of Finance.

Type: Full-time independent contractor (honorarios) · Experienced hire (mid career; not entry-level)

What You'll Do

• Advanced Excel and strong comfort working with large datasets / database tools

• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail

• Hands-on experience with accounting software, bank reconciliations, and accounting record-keeping

• Advanced English (written and verbal) since you'll interact with US teams daily

• Adaptability - you're energized by a fast-paced, ever-changing environment and can juggle multiple priorities independently

Nice to Have

• Experience at a U.S. startup, scale-up, or other fast-moving/high-growth company

• Exposure to US GAAP (no prior US accounting knowledge required, we'll train)

• Experience with QuickBooks, QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, SAP, or similar ERP/accounting platforms

• Familiarity with SQL, Power BI, or other data/BI tools a plus

Why Turn

• Real ownership and visibility from day one on a small, senior team
