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 in
