The Role
We are seeking a Senior Accountant to support ERP and accounting system migrations for high-growth US companies, working remotely from Colombia.
This is not primarily a software configuration role. It is a hands-on accounting and financial data migration role: you will move historical financial information from legacy platforms into a modern ERP, and your work will decide whether each migration is accurate, complete, and ready for go-live.
What You'll Own
- Data extraction. Extract historical financial data from systems such as QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Xero, and Sage.
- Mapping. Clean and map data to the new chart of accounts, entities, and reporting structure, including vendors, customers, and departments.
- Uploads. Prepare and execute journal entry, trial balance, and historical transaction uploads, and load bills, invoices, and supporting schedules.
- Reconciliation. Reconcile cash, AR, AP, deferred revenue, prepaids, and other key accounts between the legacy system and the new ERP.
- Go-live readiness. Compare opening and closing balances and resolve every discrepancy before go-live.
- Documentation. Document migration processes and contribute to SOPs and reusable workflows, including where AI and automation can help.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of hands-on accounting experience across general ledger, AP, AR, reconciliations, close, and reporting
- Fluency in US GAAP and direct experience working with US companies or US accounting teams
- Strong reconciliation experience, including investigating and resolving complex discrepancies
- Proficiency in at least one major accounting platform, such as QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Xero, or Sage
- Exceptional attention to detail and high standards for financial data accuracy
- 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 (Tarjeta Profesional), US CPA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent (completed or in progress)
- Direct experience with ERP or accounting system migrations
- Background in a CPA firm, bookkeeping firm, outsourced accounting company, or ERP implementation environment
- Familiarity with SaaS accounting concepts such as ASC 606, deferred revenue, ARR, and MRR
- Experience with large transaction volumes or multi-entity accounting
Who This Role Is For
An accountant who takes full ownership of the numbers: when a balance does not match, you find the root cause and fix it, and you move with urgency without giving up accuracy.

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.
