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 Director of Accounting to lead the accounting team and the accounting roadmap at a high-growth US 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.
What You'll Own
Accounting roadmap.
Set the accounting team's priorities for close speed, automation, and audit readiness.
Team structure.
Design the team's structure, roles, and hiring plan as the company scales.
Technical positions.
Conclude on technical positions with the Controller and auditors.
Scalable close.
Rebuild close processes so they hold up through the next stage of growth.
Cross-functional partnership.
Work with legal, people, and operations on contracts, compensation,



and spend controls.
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
Experience building or scaling an accounting team
US GAAP experience, or strong NIF (Mexico) or IFRS experience with exposure to US clients or entities
Experience with NetSuite, Sage Intacct, FloQast, or BlackLine
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)
Experience preparing a company for IPO readiness or a first audit
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.
Why Join Through MAVI
Own lead the accounting team and the accounting roadmap for a high-growth US company, working directly with US finance leadership
Full-time, long-term placement, with MAVI handling cross-border contracts, compliance, and payroll
USD-denominated compensation aligned with experience and scope
