Accounting

In Mexico, accounting is not a private matter between a company and its accountant — it is transmitted to the tax authority. SAT receives electronic accounting records monthly, every invoice exists as a digital CFDI issued through SAT's own infrastructure, and information returns cross-check what your suppliers and customers reported about you. A discrepancy the company never noticed is a discrepancy SAT's systems already flagged. Careless books do not stay private; they become visible.

Payroll multiplies the interfaces: IMSS and INFONAVIT contributions, state payroll taxes that differ by entity, and profit-sharing (PTU) calculations that employees can and do challenge. For foreign-owned subsidiaries there is a second audience — the parent company's reporting standards — and the monthly close has to satisfy both without maintaining two versions of the truth.

We run accounting and compliance as one discipline: books kept to Mexican standards, filings submitted on SAT's calendar rather than the company's, and alerts raised before a mismatch becomes a requirement letter. The goal is unglamorous and valuable — a company whose numbers never make it interesting to the authorities.
