Senior Financial Accountant – US Clients (Remote)

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

You will own the month-end close and full financial reporting function for US-based businesses -working directly alongside US Controllers and founders, not through layers of outsourcing. This is a stable, long-term remote role built for experienced South African accounting professionals who want real ownership and international impact.

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

The Opportunity

MAVI embeds experienced South African accounting professionals directly into US finance teams. This is not traditional outsourcing - you operate as a direct finance partner within growing US companies where your work genuinely influences business decisions.

We are looking for a Senior Financial Accountant to own month-end close and financial reporting for US-based SME clients in lean, fast-moving environments.

What You Will Own

• Full month-end close process under US GAAP - owned end-to-end
• Journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations
• General ledger accuracy and ongoing maintenance
• Financial statements, reporting schedules, and management packs
• Audit preparation and compliance support
• Direct collaboration with US Controllers, CFOs, and business stakeholders
• Process identification and improvement across the accounting function

What We Are Looking For

• 4-6+ years of accounting experience with exposure to US GAAP or international standards (IFRS background considered)
• SAIPA, SAICA, CIMA, or equivalent qualification preferred
• Strong month-end close ownership with minimal supervision
• Experience in SME, fast-paced, or client-facing environments
• ERP proficiency - NetSuite preferred; QuickBooks or Xero considered
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills
• Comfortable working with partial US time zone overlap
• Self-driven, detail-oriented, and ownership-minded

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 of the accounting function - not repetitive task execution
• Direct access to US founders, Controllers, and CFOs at high-growth SMEs
• Remote-first with genuine flexibility - work from anywhere in South Africa
• Clear growth path into senior lead and managerial roles within MAVI
