Job description

MAVI places experienced finance and accounting professionals into senior, high-ownership roles at high-growth US companies. Founded in 2023 and backed by a $4 million seed round led by Harlem Capital, MAVI was recently featured in TechCrunch.

Our professionals join in-house finance teams in full-time, long-term roles, not short-term projects. The companies we work with range from venture- and PE-backed businesses to public companies and CFO advisory firms, including Athena Club, MotherDuck, and Within.

The work centers on judgment. As AI takes over more transactional accounting, the people who review the output, question it, and own the result matter more than ever. MAVI professionals work alongside US finance leaders, using AI tools to do more and applying the judgment to catch what those tools get wrong. At one client, an AR dashboard now used across the organization was built almost entirely by MAVI talent.

We stay involved throughout, from role alignment and interview preparation to onboarding and long-term career development.

The Role

We are seeking a Payroll Accountant to own payroll accounting and payroll reconciliations at a high-growth US company, working remotely from Argentina.

You will own a defined set of close tasks, from journal entries and reconciliations to supporting schedules, with a Senior Accountant or Accounting Manager reviewing your work. The scope grows as quickly as your accuracy does.

What You'll Own

• Payroll entries. Record payroll, benefits, and payroll taxes each cycle.
• Reconciliations. Reconcile payroll registers, benefits invoices, and tax liabilities to the GL.
• Accruals. Accrue bonuses, commissions, and PTO.
• Multi-state. Support multi-state payroll tax filings with the payroll provider.
• Close tasks. Complete your close checklist on schedule, and document each task so a reviewer can follow it without asking.

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of accounting experience
• Hands-on experience with month-end close tasks, journal entries, and account reconciliations
• Experience with payroll accounting and payroll tax reconciliations
• US GAAP experience, or strong Argentine GAAP (FACPCE) or IFRS experience with exposure to US clients or entities
• Experience with ADP, Gusto, Rippling, or Paylocity
• Strong written and spoken English for daily work with US teams
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or an equivalent professional qualification

Preferred

• Experience with multi-state or international payroll
• Experience using AI tools in accounting workflows, with the judgment to review and correct AI-generated output

Who This Role Is For

An early-career accountant who wants to learn US GAAP properly, takes review notes as a chance to improve, and would rather ask a good question than guess.

Why Join Through MAVI

• Own payroll accounting and payroll reconciliations for a high-growth US company, working directly with US finance leadership
• Full-time, long-term placement, with MAVI handling cross-border contracts, compliance, and payroll
• USD-denominated compensation aligned with experience and scope
• Progress toward Senior Accountant opportunities through MAVI

Work Arrangement

This is a fully remote role with a single client company for the duration of the engagement. Full-time roles require a minimum of 4 hours of daily overlap with US Eastern Time (ET); part-time roles require a minimum of 2 hours.
