MAVI partners with high-growth US startups and SMEs, embedding experienced accounting professionals directly within their finance teams. This is not a traditional accounting manager role, you will own accounting operations for US clients, set the standard your team works to, and act as the senior accounting voice in the relationship.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Accounting Manager, you will own end-to-end accounting operations for US clients, lead a team of accountants and managers, and work as a peer to US Controllers and CFOs rather than a reporting line beneath them.

This is a senior seat with genuine authority. You will hold final review before numbers reach the client, decide how the work gets done across your accounts, and carry the accounting relationship when it matters through the close, through the audit, and through the conversations where a judgement has to be defended.

What You Will Own

Own end-to-end accounting (Record-to-Report) across multiple US clients or entities
Lead, mentor, and develop a team of accountants, and set the standard their work is held to
Own the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close cycles, with accountability for the calendar and cycle time
Hold final review over financial statements under US GAAP before they reach the client, and stand behind them
Own technical accounting positions — revenue recognition, accruals, and capitalisation — and document the judgements behind them
Establish and enforce accounting policies, internal controls, and close procedures across your accounts
Act as the senior US client contact, building relationships at Controller and CFO level




Own audit readiness and manage auditor interactions through to resolution of findings
Lead ERP implementations, migrations, and process automation rather than incremental workflow fixes
Build the close checklists, SOPs, and documentation that let the function run without depending on any single individual
Advise US finance leadership on accounting risks and the implications of business decisions

What We're Looking For

8+ years of accounting experience with deep US GAAP expertise
Demonstrated ownership of a full close cycle and financial statements on an independent basis
Proven team management experience, including reviewing and developing other accountants
Experience managing an audit, including direct interaction with external auditors through to resolution
Experience with multi-entity or multi-client accounting and consolidation preferred
ERP experience (NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, Toast, or similar), including implementation or migration exposure
CA / CPA / ACCA (or equivalent) strongly preferred
Excellent English communication, with the confidence to defend a conclusion in front of senior stakeholders
Ability to work with US time zone overlap

Why Join MAVI

Own accounting for some of the most exciting US companies, with authority to match
Build and lead high-performing accounting teams
Fast-track career path to Controller, Head of Accounting, and Head of Finance roles
Lead ERP transformations, audits, and control build-outs rather than supporting them
Flexible work from home with global impact
Compensation in USD
