Inventory Accountant

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 Inventory Accountant to own inventory accounting, landed cost, and COGS at a US consumer goods company, working remotely from Ecuador.

You will own a defined set of close tasks, from journal entries and reconciliations to supporting schedules, with a Senior Accountant or Accounting Manager reviewing your work. The scope grows as quickly as your accuracy does.

What You'll Own

• Inventory roll-forward. Maintain the inventory roll-forward across warehouses, 3PLs, and in-transit stock.
• Landed cost. Capitalize freight, duties, and tariffs into landed cost accurately.
• Counts. Support cycle counts and physical counts, and resolve book-to-physical differences.
• Reserves. Calculate excess, obsolete, and shrink reserves with support an auditor accepts.
• Close tasks. Complete your close checklist on schedule, and document each task so a reviewer can follow it without asking.

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of accounting experience
• Hands-on experience with month-end close tasks, journal entries, and account reconciliations
• Experience with inventory accounting, including landed cost and reserves
• US GAAP experience, or strong IFRS (NIIF) experience with exposure to US clients or entities
• Experience with NetSuite, Cin7, Fishbowl, or Microsoft Dynamics
• Strong written and spoken English for daily work with US teams
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or an equivalent professional qualification

Preferred

• Contador Público Autorizado (CPA), US CPA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent (completed or in progress)
• Experience with 3PL or WMS data and multi-location inventory
• Experience using AI tools in accounting workflows, with the judgment to review and correct AI-generated output

Who This Role Is For

An early-career accountant who wants to learn US GAAP properly, takes review notes as a chance to improve, and would rather ask a good question than guess.

Why Join Through MAVI

• Own inventory accounting, landed cost, and COGS for a US consumer goods company, working directly with US finance leadership
• 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 Accountant opportunities through MAVI

Work Arrangement

This is a fully remote role with a single client company for the duration of the engagement. Full-time roles require a minimum of 4 hours of daily overlap with US Eastern Time (ET); part-time roles require a minimum of 2 hours.
