Senior FP&A (Core)

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.

About the role

We’re looking for a strong FP&A professional who has already built solid experience in planning and analysis and is ready to take on broader ownership.

You’ll work closely with finance and business leaders at a high-growth US company, helping shape the annual plan, rolling forecasts, management reporting, and the financial thinking behind key decisions.

This is a great fit for someone who enjoys being close to the business and wants to move beyond reporting into real planning, business partnering, and decision support.

What you’ll own

• Lead or support the annual budgeting and rolling forecast process
• Build and maintain driver-based financial models across P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow
• Run monthly actual vs budget and forecast variance analysis
• Partner with business teams to translate hiring, pricing, revenue, marketing, and operating assumptions into the financial plan
• Own or support cash-flow forecasting and scenario planning
• Prepare recurring management reporting, KPI dashboards, and performance commentary
• Partner with Sales, Marketing, Operations, Product, and other teams to understand business drivers
• Build business cases and scenarios around growth, hiring, pricing, investment, and expansion
• Present financial insights and recommendations to senior leadership
• Help improve planning tools, reporting processes, and overall FP&A discipline

Must-haves

• 5+ years of relevant finance experience, with strong recent FP&A exposure
• Hands-on experience owning or significantly contributing to budgeting and forecasting
• Strong financial modeling skills, ideally including 3-statement modeling
• Strong understanding of P&L, cash flow, working capital, and key business drivers
• Experience with variance analysis, management reporting, and executive-ready insights
• Comfortable working directly with non-finance stakeholders and senior leaders
• Strong written and spoken English

Nice to have

• Experience in a startup, scale-up, VC/PE-backed business
• SaaS, DTC/eCommerce, consumer, retail, CPG, marketplace, or tech-enabled business exposure
• Experience with board or investor reporting
• Fundraising or strategic finance exposure
• Experience with planning tools, automation, or finance systems

Why this role is exciting

You’ll have the chance to own more than reporting. You’ll be close to leadership, influence real business decisions, and continue growing toward broader FP&A and finance leadership roles.
