The posting

About Palmstreet:

Palmstreet https://palmstreet.app/ is a community-obsessed live shopping platform connecting over 2 million passionate collectors and sellers. Started in 2020, we have grown into one of the largest live shopping platforms in the US, featuring 1000+ daily live streams.

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 it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
