Why Hire Finance & Accounting Talent in Latin America

Latin America has become a preferred region for CFOs who want nearshore finance talent that works in US time zones while maintaining strong technical capability.

Nearshore Time-Zone Alignment

One of the biggest advantages of hiring finance and accounting talent in Latin America is full or near-full US time-zone overlap, dramatically improving execution speed for finance teams operating under tight deadlines. This timezone alignment enables real-time collaboration during close, same-day turnaround on reporting and analysis, and easier communication with US-based stakeholders.

Growing Experienced Talent Pool

Latin America has a growing base of finance and accounting professionals across countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, and Argentina. Collectively, the region supports hundreds of thousands of finance professionals, many with experience working for US companies and multinational organizations. This ecosystem continues to mature as more global companies establish nearshore finance operations.

Strong Accounting and Reporting Expertise

Finance professionals in Latin America are commonly trained in:
  • US GAAP and IFRS
  • Month-end and year-end close
  • Financial reporting and audit preparation
  • Revenue recognition and accrual accounting
  • FP&A, budgeting, and forecasting
Many have prior experience working with US controllers, auditors, and finance leaders, and possess ex-Big 4 credentials.

Balanced Cost and Collaboration

Hiring finance and accounting talent in Latin America typically results in 30–70% cost savings compared to US-based roles. The nearshore advantage also delivers higher productivity, faster turnaround, and reduced communication friction, often improving overall ROI.

Cultural and Business Compatibility

Latin American finance professionals are known for strong relationship-building, adaptability, and collaboration. Combined with English proficiency and US business exposure, this creates a working dynamic that feels closer to onshore teams.
