Job description

MAVI places experienced finance and accounting professionals into senior, high-ownership roles at high-growth US companies.

We maintain a deliberately high bar on both sides of the placement. The companies we partner with are venture-backed and private equity-backed businesses building modern finance organizations, and the professionals we represent are operators with a track record of owning the numbers rather than supporting them from a distance.

The roles we place are embedded positions within the finance function itself. Our professionals work alongside founders, CEOs, and senior leadership on the work that determines whether a business can close its books with confidence, satisfy its auditors, raise its next round, and scale.

Our team has built and scaled finance functions at companies including Lyft, Ramp, and SoftBank. We remain closely involved throughout the relationship, from role alignment and interview preparation through onboarding, placement, and long-term career development.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced Accounting Manager to lead the close, the accounting team, and day-to-day accounting operations of a high-growth US company, working remotely from Philippines.

You will be accountable for the quality, completeness, and timeliness of what the accounting team produces, not only for the work you prepare yourself. That means setting the close calendar, assigning ownership, reviewing outputs, and resolving issues before they reach a reporting deadline.

You will work directly with the Controller, CFO, or founders, presenting close results, material variances, and open risks. Where the close depends on last‑minute escalation or review standards vary from month to month, you will build the playbooks and controls that make it predictable.

Because you will be leading a team from outside the United States, the role calls for someone who operates with limited oversight, communicates proactively, and makes sound decisions with incomplete information.

What You'll Own

The Close and Financial Reporting

• The close. Own the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close across one or more entities, including the calendar, task ownership, and cycle time.
• Review. Review journal entries, reconciliations, consolidations, and financial statements for accuracy and completeness before they reach leadership.
• US GAAP application. Ensure consistent application of US GAAP across routine and judgment-heavy transactions, including ASC 606 and ASC 842.
• Multi-entity accounting. Oversee intercompany accounting and consolidation schedules across the group.

Accounting Operations

• The transactional cycle. Oversee the general ledger, AP, AR, payroll accounting, cash activity, and account reconciliations.
• Cash reporting. Maintain accurate cash reconciliation and give leadership a reliable view of position and movement.
• Business partnership. Partner with FP&A and department leaders on reporting packages, trends, and variance explanations.

Team, Controls, and Audit

• The accounting team. Manage, coach, and develop staff accountants, senior accountants, and leads; set priorities and monitor delivery against close timelines.
• Policies and controls. Establish and improve accounting policies, SOPs, internal controls, and documentation.
• Audit and tax. Coordinate external audits, tax requests, and compliance activities, including PBC preparation and resolution of findings.
• Automation. Standardize and automate recurring workflows so processes scale as the company grows.

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including close leadership or formal review responsibility
• Experience managing, mentoring, or reviewing the work of accountants
• Hands-on US GAAP close and reporting experience supporting US entities or clients; transferable PFRS or IFRS experience alone is not sufficient for this level
• Strong command of accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, intercompany accounting, reconciliations, and financial statement review
• Working knowledge of ASC 606 and ASC 842
• Experience in a multi-entity, multi-client, or high-growth environment
• Experience supporting an audit or review, including direct interaction with external auditors
• ERP experience with NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks Online, Xero, or a comparable system, alongside tools such as Ramp, Brex, Bill.com, Rippling, or FloQast
• Advanced Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets
• Experience working remotely with US-based leadership, with confident written and verbal English
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

Preferred

• Philippine CPA (PRC-licensed), US CPA, ACCA, or equivalent strongly preferred
• Big 4 or public accounting experience followed by industry experience
• Experience at a venture-backed or PE-backed US company, particularly Seed through Series C
• Involvement in an ERP implementation or close automation project

Who This Role Is For

This role suits an accounting professional who has moved beyond preparing the work and wants to own its quality.

You raise the standard of the people around you without creating unnecessary bureaucracy. You make a call when the information is incomplete, and when you exp... you arrive with a recommendation rather than only a problem.

Why Join Through MAVI

• Lead the close and the accounting team at a high-growth US company
• Work directly with Controllers, CFOs, and founders
• Build and improve an accounting function rather than simply maintain it
• Progress toward Assistant Controller and Controller opportunities through MAVI
• USD-denominated compensation aligned with experience and scope
• Receive MAVI's support throughout placement, onboarding, and the engagement that follows

Work Arrangement

This is a fully remote role. You will work directly with US-based leadership, auditors, and external partners, and you will be placed with a single client company for the duration of the engagement rather than rotated across accounts.

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. The rest of your schedule is arranged around your local working day.
