About MAVI
MAVI places experienced finance and accounting professionals into senior, high-ownership roles at high-growth US companies. Founded in **** 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 a Controller to own the month-end close and core financial reporting at a US logistics company, working remotely from Mexico.
This is a leadership seat. You will be accountable for the area's policies, controls, and results, reporting to the CFO or VP of Finance, and you will be the person leadership and auditors turn to for a defensible answer.
The role sits close to the parts of the business that make a US logistics company different, so the accounting and analysis reflect how the sector actually works.
What You'll Own
The close.




Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, with accountability for the calendar, quality, and cycle time.
Financial statements.
Prepare the P&L;, balance sheet, and cash flow support under US GAAP, and explain material movements.
Audit.
Lead the annual audit or review, from PBC preparation through resolution of findings.
Carrier costs.
Accrue and reconcile carrier, fuel, and freight costs against shipments.
Lane margins.
Support revenue and margin reporting by lane, customer, or facility.
Policy and judgment.
Set accounting policies for the area, conclude on complex positions, and document them so they hold up in an audit.
Leadership partnership.
Present results and recommendations to the CFO, the executive team, and where needed the board.
What We're Looking For
10+ years of accounting experience
Experience leading an accounting function and presenting results to executive leadership
Solid accrual accounting fundamentals and experience preparing financial statement support
Experience accounting for freight, carrier, or warehouse operations
US GAAP experience, or strong NIF (Mexico) or IFRS experience with exposure to US clients or entities
Experience with QuickBooks Online, NetSuite,



Sage Intacct, or Xero
Strong written and spoken English for daily work with US teams
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or an equivalent professional qualification
Preferred
Contador Público Certificado (CPC), US CPA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent (completed or in progress)
Big 4 or public accounting experience, or experience serving US clients
Experience with TMS or WMS data
Experience using AI tools in accounting workflows, with the judgment to review and correct AI-generated output
Who This Role Is For
An accounting leader who wants to own a function outright: technically strong enough to reach a defensible conclusion without escalating it, and credible with a CEO, an auditor, and a junior accountant alike. Experience in logistics matters here: you will spend less time learning how the business makes money and more time improving how it is measured.
Why Join Through MAVI

USD-denominated compensation aligned with experience and scope

Work Arrangement
This is a fully remote role with a single client company for the duration of the engagement. Full-time roles require a minimum of 4 hours of daily overlap with US Eastern Time (ET); part-time roles require a minimum of 2 hours.
