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 Financial Controller to own accounting, financial control, and cash governance for a high-growth US company, working remotely from Colombia.

Alongside the integrity of the financial statements, you will own the controls over how money moves through the business: cash, spend approval, working capital, and entity compliance. You will report to the CFO or CEO and give leadership an accurate, forward-looking view of the company's financial position.

What You'll Own

Reporting and the Close

• The close and the financial statements. Own the close and the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement under US GAAP.
• Consolidation. Own multi-entity consolidation, intercompany accounting, and foreign currency translation.
• Management reporting. Deliver monthly management accounts and board-ready reporting with clear commentary on performance and risk.

Financial Control and Cash

• Control framework. Design and enforce delegation of authority, spend approval, segregation of duties, and payment controls.
• Cash and treasury. Own cash management, bank relationships, and the 13-week cash forecast.
• Working capital. Oversee AP, AR, collections, and payment runs.

Compliance and Team

• Audit and tax. Lead the annual audit and coordinate US tax compliance with external advisers.
• Entity compliance. Maintain statutory compliance for each legal entity, including covenant and investor reporting.
• The team. Lead the accounting and finance operations team, and manage external accounting, payroll, and tax partners.

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years of accounting and finance experience, including leading a team
• Ownership of the close, the financial statements, and the control environment of a company or business unit
• Familiarity with US GAAP or IFRS, with substantial exposure to US, UK, Canada, or Australia clients or entities
• Direct experience with cash management, treasury, and cash forecasting
• Experience designing and enforcing internal controls and approval workflows
• Experience leading an audit and coordinating tax compliance with external advisers
• Substantial experience with a major ERP, such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or Microsoft Dynamics
• Strong written and spoken English, with the confidence to present to executives, auditors, and banks
• 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
• Multi-entity and foreign currency experience
• Big 4 or public accounting experience followed by industry experience
• Experience with debt facilities, covenant reporting, or fundraising due diligence
• Experience at a venture-backed or PE-backed US company

Who This Role Is For

A finance leader who wants to own both the accuracy of the numbers and the controls around the money, and who is as comfortable challenging an unapproved payment as defending a technical position to an auditor.

Why Join Through MAVI

• Own accounting, financial control, and cash for a high-growth US company
• Work directly with CFOs, CEOs, and boards
• Full-time, long-term placement, with MAVI handling cross-border contracts, compliance, and payroll
• USD-denominated compensation aligned with experience and scope
• Progress toward Head of Finance and Fractional CFO 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.
