MAVI partners with high-growth US startups and SMEs, embedding experienced accounting professionals directly within their finance teams. This is not a traditional accounting role you will run the close for US clients and lead the accountants alongside you in a fast-moving environment.

The Opportunity

As an Accounting Team Lead, you will run the day-to-day accounting operation for US clients, leading a small team of accountants and reporting to the client's Controller or finance lead.

This is a working leadership role. You will review the team's entries in the morning and prepare the difficult ones yourself in the afternoon. It suits someone ready to carry a team as well as their own work, and to be the person who fixes a broken process rather than working around it each month.

What You Will Own

- Run end-to-end accounting (Record-to-Report) for US clients on a defined close calendar
- Lead a small team of accountants assign the close work, hold the calendar, and deliver a complete close on schedule
- Provide first-line review over journal entries, reconciliations, and supporting schedules prepared by the team
- Mentor and develop junior accountants, and give the Controller an honest read on where each person stands
- Own the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close cycles, with accountability for cycle time and quality
- Prepare financial statements under US GAAP for Controller review, and answer for the numbers your team produced
- Own the balance sheet reconciliation process and drive ageing items to resolution rather than reporting them
- Act as a day-to-day US client contact, building strong working relationships with their finance team
- Coordinate audit deliverables,



prepare PBC items, and respond directly to auditor queries in your areas
- Operate and enforce the client's accounting policies and controls, and flag where a control is followed in form but not in substance
- Build the close checklists and SOPs that keep the close reproducible without depending on any single individual
- Drive process automation and workflow improvements that shorten the close

What We're Looking For

- 6+ years of accounting experience with strong US GAAP expertise
- Demonstrated ownership of a full close cycle end to end, rather than contribution to one part of it
- Experience reviewing, supervising, or mentoring other accountants
- Strong reconciliation discipline and the judgment to know when a balance does not look right
- Experience supporting an audit, including PBC preparation and direct auditor contact
- ERP experience (NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, Toast, or similar)
- Advanced Excel or Google Sheets, including comfort building schedules others can follow
- CA / CPA / ACCA (or equivalent) strongly preferred
- Excellent English communication, with the ability to explain an accounting outcome to a non-accountant
- Ability to work with US time zone overlap

Why Join MAVI?

- Run the close and lead a team for some of the most exciting US companies
- Build the accounting processes a growing company runs on rather than maintaining someone else's
- Gain exposure to audit, ERP work, and process design earlier than a comparable in-house role would offer
- Clear progression to Accounting Manager, Controller, and Head of Accounting roles
- Flexible remote work with general impact
- Compensation in USD
