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 Staff Accountant to keep the books of a high-growth US company accurate and close-ready every month, working remotely from the Philippines.

You will handle core accounting work, from journal entries and reconciliations to AP, AR, and close support, working directly with the Senior Accountant or Controller. This is a hands-on role for someone who takes pride in clean, well‑documented work and wants to grow into owning the close.

What You'll Own

• Journal entries. Prepare recurring and adjusting entries, accruals, and prepaids with clear supporting documentation.
• Reconciliations. Reconcile bank, credit card, and balance sheet accounts each month, and resolve reconciling items rather than carrying them forward.
• AP and AR. Process vendor bills and customer invoices, track aging, and keep subledgers tied to the general ledger.
• Close support. Complete assigned close checklist tasks on schedule and flag issues early.
• Reporting support. Help prepare financial statement schedules and explain movements in the accounts you own.
• Audit and documentation. Maintain organized support for audits and tax filings, and help keep SOPs up to date.

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years of accounting experience, including month‑end close tasks and account reconciliations
• Experience supporting companies or clients in the US, UK, Canada, or Australia, whether through a BPO, an outsourced accounting firm, a shared services center, public accounting, or an in‑house role
• US GAAP experience, or strong PFRS experience with exposure to US clients or entities
• Solid accrual accounting fundamentals and attention to detail
• Experience with a major ERP or accounting system, such as QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Xero, or Sage Intacct
• Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills
• Strong written and spoken English for daily work with US teams
• Bachelor’s degree in Accountancy, Accounting, or a related field

Preferred

• Philippine CPA (PRC‑licensed), or US CPA, ACCA, or equivalent (completed or in progress)
• Experience using AI tools in accounting workflows, with the judgment to review and correct AI‑generated output
• Experience with tools such as Bill.com, Ramp, Gusto, or Expensify
• Experience at a venture‑backed or PE‑backed company, or in SaaS or e‑commerce

Who This Role Is For

An accountant who keeps the details right, asks questions early, and is ready to take on more of the close as their skills grow.

Why Join Through MAVI

• Work directly with US finance teams on a high‑growth company's books
• Full‑time, long‑term placement, with MAVI handling cross‑border contracts, compliance, and payroll
• Work to US GAAP with US systems and tools
• 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.
