Accounting Manager

About MAVI

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 an 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 and timeliness of what the team produces, not only the work you prepare yourself. You will work directly with the Controller, CFO, or founders, presenting close results, material variances, and open risks.

What You'll Own

• The close. Own the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close, including the calendar, task ownership, and cycle time.
• Review. Review journal entries, reconciliations, and financial statements before they reach leadership, applying US GAAP consistently.
• Accounting operations. Oversee the general ledger, AP, AR, payroll accounting, and cash reconciliation.
• The team. Manage and coach accountants, set priorities, and hold delivery to close timelines.
• Controls and audit. Maintain accounting policies, SOPs, and internal controls, and coordinate audits and tax requests with external firms.
• Business partnership. Give FP&A and department leaders clear reporting and variance explanations.

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of 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
• Strong command of accruals, reconciliations, and financial statement review
• Experience supporting an audit or review
• Experience with a major ERP or accounting system, such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks Online, or Xero
• Strong written and spoken English, with the confidence to present results to US leadership
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or an equivalent professional qualification

Preferred

• Philippine CPA (PRC-licensed), US CPA, ACCA, or equivalent
• Experience using AI tools in accounting workflows, with the judgment to review and correct AI-generated output
• Multi-entity, intercompany, or consolidation experience
• Working knowledge of ASC 606 and ASC 842
• Experience at a venture-backed or PE-backed US company

Who This Role Is For

An accounting professional who has moved beyond preparing the work and wants to own its quality, and who escalates 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
• Full-time, long-term placement, with MAVI handling cross-border contracts, compliance, and payroll
• Work directly with Controllers, CFOs, and founders
• USD-denominated compensation aligned with experience and scope
• Progress toward Assistant Controller and Controller opportunities through MAVI
