Accounting Manager (US GAAP) - Multi-Entity Close

Location: Remote (the United Arab Emirates)

About MAVI

MAVI places experienced finance and accounting professionals into senior, high-ownership roles at high-growth US companies. Founded in 2023 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 an Accounting Manager to lead a multi-entity close and raise the standard of the team around you at a high-growth US company, working remotely from the UAE.

You will own accounting quality across several entities, review the work of others, and become the trusted operational partner to US finance leadership.

What You'll Own

• The close. Lead the close calendar across entities, assign ownership, review outputs, and resolve issues before reporting deadlines.
• Review. Review journal entries, reconciliations, consolidations, and financial statements for accuracy and completeness.
• Multi-entity accounting. Own intercompany, eliminations, and foreign currency accounting across the group.
• The team. Coach accountants, improve review standards, and build repeatable close and control playbooks.
• Coordination. Coordinate audit, tax, payroll, AP, AR, and external service provider dependencies.
• Reporting. Present close results, risks, and material variances to Controllers, CFOs, or founders.

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including close leadership or review responsibility
• Hands-on US GAAP experience supporting US entities or clients
• Strong command of accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, intercompany accounting, and financial statement review
• Experience in a multi-entity, multi-client, or fast-growth environment
• Experience mentoring or reviewing the work of accountants
• Experience with a major ERP, such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or Microsoft Dynamics
• Strong written and spoken English, with the confidence to present results to US leadership
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or an equivalent professional qualification

Preferred

• ACCA, CA, US CPA, CMA, CIMA, or equivalent
• Experience using AI tools in accounting workflows, with the judgment to review and correct AI-generated output
• Consolidation and multi-currency experience
• Working knowledge of ASC 606 and ASC 842

Who This Role Is For

An accounting manager who wants the close to become faster and more predictable every month, and whose team makes fewer repeat errors because of how they review.

Why Join Through MAVI

• Lead a multi-entity close at a high-growth US company
• Full-time, long-term placement, with MAVI handling cross-border contracts, compliance, and payroll
• Work directly with Controllers, CFOs, and founders
• USD-denominated compensation aligned with experience and scope
