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 Senior Accountant to own the monthly close and core financial reporting of a high-growth US company, working remotely from Peru.

You will own a complete accounting workstream, from journal entries and reconciliations to the financial statements, working directly with the Controller and US finance leadership. Where the close relies on manual workarounds, you will be expected to improve it rather than repeat it.

What You'll Own

• The close. Own the month-end and year-end close for one or more entities, including deadlines and quality of output.
• Entries and reconciliations. Prepare journal entries, accruals, prepaids, and fixed asset schedules, and keep balance sheet reconciliations clean and current.
• Financial statements. Prepare the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow support under US GAAP, and explain material movements to leadership.
• Audit readiness. Maintain documentation and PBC schedules that an auditor can follow without a walkthrough.
• Process improvement. Improve close checklists, SOPs, and recurring workflows, including where AI and automation can help.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of accounting experience, including hands-on ownership of the month-end close
• US GAAP or IFRS experience, with substantial exposure to clients or entities in the US, UK, Canada, or Australia
• Solid accrual accounting fundamentals and experience preparing financial statement support
• Experience with a major ERP or accounting system, such as QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or Xero
• Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills
• 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 using AI tools in accounting workflows, with the judgment to review and correct AI-generated output
• Big 4 or public accounting experience, or experience serving US clients
• Experience at a venture-backed or PE-backed company, or in SaaS or e-commerce

Who This Role Is For

An accountant ready to own the close outright rather than one piece of it, who cares about why a number moved and raises issues before anyone else finds them.

Why Join Through MAVI

• Own a complete close 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
• Work to US GAAP with US auditors and US systems
• USD-denominated compensation aligned with experience and scope
• Progress toward Lead Accountant and Accounting Manager 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.
