About MAVI
MAVI places experienced finance and accounting professionals into senior, high-ownership roles at high-growth US companies.
We maintain a deliberately high bar on both sides of the placement. The companies we partner with are venture-backed and private equity-backed businesses building modern finance organizations, and the professionals we represent are operators with a track record of owning the numbers rather than supporting them from a distance.
The roles we place are embedded positions within the finance function itself. Our professionals work alongside founders, CEOs, and senior leadership on the work that determines whether a business can close its books with confidence, satisfy its auditors, raise its next round, and scale.
Our team has built and scaled finance functions at companies including Lyft, Ramp, and SoftBank. We remain closely involved throughout the relationship, from role alignment and interview preparation through onboarding, placement, and long-term career development.
The Role
We are seeking an accomplished Head of Accounting to lead the accounting organization of a high-growth US company, working remotely from Mexico.
This is the leadership seat for accounting as a whole. You will set the standards, structure, and roadmap for the function, and lead the managers and specialists who run the close, revenue accounting, and accounting operations day to day. Where the company is preparing for its next stage — a larger audit, a first-time SOX-style control environment, an acquisition, or a new international entity — you will make sure the accounting function is ready before it is tested.
You will report to the CFO or CEO and act as the senior accounting voice with auditors, the board's audit committee, investors, and department leaders. A significant part of the role is deciding what the function should become over the next 12 to 24 months, and then building it.
Because you will lead a team from outside the United States, the role
