Job description

At MAVI, we’re building the future of global finance talent. We connect exceptional finance and accounting professionals from around the world with high-impact roles at top U.S. startups and established firms. Our network empowers professionals to work globally, earn premium compensation, and make a direct business impact—without borders.

Joining the MAVI Network means becoming part of a curated global ecosystem of finance leaders, innovators, and problem-solvers—not just applying for another job.

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Senior Accountant to take ownership of end-to-end accounting for U.S.-based clients.

You’ll be a hands‑on leader who can own the books, close the month, and guide a small accounting team with precision and confidence. In this role, you’ll act as a strategic partner to CFOs and founders of fast‑growing U.S. companies—helping them maintain financial excellence and scale effectively.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of global finance, technology, and impact.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead end-to-end accounting operations, including AP, AR, GL, reconciliations, month-end close, and reporting
  • Prepare, review, and finalize financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP
  • Manage and mentor a small team of accountants, ensuring accuracy and timely delivery
  • Partner with client finance leaders to identify insights and drive process improvements
  • Ensure accuracy, compliance, and efficiency across all accounting workflows
  • Utilize modern accounting tools such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, or Xero to streamline operations
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with FP&A, Tax, and Operations teams to support comprehensive financial management

What You’ll Bring

  • 5–8 years of progressive accounting experience with exposure to U.S. accounting and reporting standards
  • Strong background in end-to-end accounting, reconciliations, and financial statement preparation
  • Deep understanding of U.S. GAAP and the ability to independently manage the month-end close
  • Experience in outsourced accounting, shared services, or client-facing environments
  • Hands‑on experience with tools such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, Bill.com, or Xero
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills
  • A proactive, ownership-driven mindset with strong attention to detail
  • Why Join MAVI

  • High-Impact Work : Partner directly with U.S. CFOs, founders, and finance leaders.
  • Premium Compensation : Competitive pay that reflects your global expertise.
  • Global Exposure : Collaborate with venture-backed startups and established companies across the U.S.
  • Career Growth : Access continuous learning, leadership opportunities, and visibility within the MAVI network.
  • Elite Community : Join a vetted network of top finance professionals shaping the future of work.
