About MAVI

MAVI connects experienced South African accounting professionals with high-impact roles at US companies. We build long-term teams — not placement pipelines. When you join MAVI, you get stable work, global exposure, and compensation that reflects your true value.

Role Overview

100% Remote | USD-Equivalent Pay | Long-Term Role | US Client Exposure

You will own the full accounting function for US-based businesses — not execute tasks for someone else. This is a stable, long-term remote role with direct access to US CFOs and Controllers, built for experienced South African accounting professionals ready to work at a higher level.

SAIPA, SAICA, and CIMA-qualified candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

What You Will Own

  • Full-cycle accounting for US clients — AP, AR, GL, reconciliations, month-end close, and financial reporting
  • Month-end close process — owned end-to-end, with minimal supervision
  • Financial statements and management packs under US GAAP
  • General ledger accuracy across multiple US client accounts
  • Direct partnerships with US Controllers, CFOs, and business stakeholders
  • Process improvement, audit preparation, and compliance readiness

What We Are Looking For

  • 5+ years of accounting experience with exposure to US GAAP or international standards (IFRS background considered)
  • SAIPA, SAICA, CIMA, or equivalent qualification preferred
  • Proven ability to handle end-to-end accounting independently
  • ERP proficiency — QuickBooks, NetSuite, Xero, or similar
  • Strong English communication skills and comfort working with foreign clients
  • Availability for US time zone overlap (partial or full)

Why This Role Is Different

  • USD-equivalent compensation — not rand-based pay for international work
  • Long-term client partnerships — not short-term contracts or project work
  • Real ownership — you run the accounting function, not just execute tasks
  • Direct exposure to US founders, CFOs, and finance leaders at high-growth SMEs
  • Clear progression path to senior lead and managerial roles within MAVI
