Finance Business Partner Accounting + FP&A

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 a Finance Business Partner to connect the accounting numbers with the people who run the business at a high-growth US company, working remotely from Philippines.

You will partner with department heads on their budgets, forecasts, and spend, and make sure what they plan ties back to what is actually recorded. A strong accounting foundation is what makes the role work: you will support the close for your areas, so your analysis starts from numbers you understand and trust.

What You'll Own

Business Partnering and FP&A

• Budget owners. Act as the finance partner to department heads, helping them plan, track, and explain their spend and headcount.
• Budget and forecast. Build and maintain departmental budgets and the rolling forecast, and feed them into the company plan.
• Variance analysis. Explain budget-versus-actual results each month, with clear root causes and recommended actions.
• Reporting and KPIs. Build reporting packages and dashboards that give leadership a reliable view of performance.

Accounting Support

• Close support. Prepare accruals, prepaids, and reclasses for your areas, and review department-level P&L coding before the close is finalized.
• Spend control. Work with AP and procurement on vendor spend, approvals, and cost allocation.
• Data integrity. Reconcile planning data to the general ledger so forecasts and actuals stay consistent.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience across accounting and FP&A, with a solid accounting foundation
• Experience building budgets, forecasts, and budget-versus-actual analysis
• Working knowledge of accrual accounting and the month-end close under US GAAP or PFRS or IFRS
• Strong financial modeling skills in Excel or Google Sheets
• Experience working directly with non-finance stakeholders and explaining numbers in plain terms
• Experience with a major ERP or accounting system, such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks Online, or Xero
• Strong written and spoken English for daily work with US teams
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or a related field, or an equivalent professional qualification

Preferred

• Philippine CPA (PRC-licensed), US CPA, ACCA, or equivalent (completed or in progress)
• Experience using AI tools in finance workflows, with the judgment to review and correct AI-generated output
• Experience with planning or BI tools such as Adaptive, Pigment, Mosaic, Power BI, or Looker
• SaaS or recurring-revenue experience, including ARR and unit economics
• Experience at a venture-backed or PE-backed company

Who This Role Is For

A finance professional who is equally at home in the general ledger and in a budget review, and who would rather help a department head make a better decision than simply report what they spent.

Why Join Through MAVI

• Partner directly with department heads and finance leadership at a high-growth US company
• Build a combined accounting and FP&A profile, the foundation for senior finance roles
• Full-time, long-term placement, with MAVI handling cross-border contracts, compliance, and payroll
• USD-denominated compensation aligned with experience and scope
• Progress toward Senior Finance Manager, FP&A Manager, and Finance Manager opportunities through MAVI
