Head of accounting

About MAVI 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 startups and SMEs 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.

Our professionals work alongside founders, CEOs, and senior leadership on the work that determines whether a business can close its books with confidence and satisfy its auditors. Our team has built and scaled finance functions at companies including Lyft, Ramp, and SoftBank. We remain closely involved throughout the relationship, from role alignment and interview preparation through onboarding, placement, and long-term career development.
