Controller, Accounting, Financial Reporting

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 Soft Bank. We remain closely involved throughout the relationship, from role alignment and interview preparation through onboarding, placement, and long-term career development.

We are seeking an experienced Controller to own the accounting function of a high-growth US company, working remotely from LATAM.

This is the senior accounting seat in the business. You will be accountable for the integrity of the financial statements, the discipline of the close, the strength of the control environment, and the readiness of the company for its audit. Where the company has outgrown the processes that carried it this far — a close held together by one person's memory, a control environment that exists in principle rather than in practice, an intercompany process that produces a different answer each quarter — you will be the person who rebuilds them.

You will work directly with the CEO, the finance leadership, and the department heads whose decisions depend on your numbers. A significant part of the role is translating accounting information into something people outside finance can act on, and doing so before they ask.

Because you will be the most senior accounting person in the company and located outside the United States, the role calls for someone who operates well with autonomy, communicates proactively rather than on request, and holds both the technical detail and the operating picture without a layer above them to catch what falls through.

The close. Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, with full accountability for the calendar, the quality of the output, and the cycle time.

The financial statements. Own the preparation of the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement under US GAAP, and stand behind those numbers in front of leadership, auditors, and the board.

Final review. Hold final review authority over general ledger activity, journal entries, account reconciliations, and fixed assets.

Technical accounting. Research, document, and conclude on technical positions — revenue recognition, leases, equity, accruals, and capitalisation — and maintain the memoranda that support them.

Multi-entity accounting. Own consolidation across the group structure, including intercompany accounting, eliminations, and foreign currency translation.

Policies and controls. Establish and maintain accounting policies, internal controls, approval workflows, and reporting standards appropriate to the company's stage, and enforce them once established.

Documentation. Build and maintain the close checklist, process narratives, and SOPs that allow the function to operate without depending on any single individual.

Audit. Lead the annual audit or review end to end, including auditor management, PBC preparation, and resolution of findings through to close-out.

Tax coordination. Coordinate US federal, state, and…
