MAVI vs. Beech Valley
Trusted by Top US Companies
How the Two Models Compare
Both connect you with vetted accounting talent. The difference is US-only consultants for projects versus a dedicated global accountant who becomes part of your team.
The Dedicated Global Talent Model (MAVI)
MAVI works the other way around. Instead of routing your books through an external team, you get one dedicated global accountant, selected for your business, who works inside your company like any other hire. They use your tools, run your close, and report to you. MAVI still handles the operational weight in the background, including contracts, compliance, and payments, so the hire stays easy to run. The result is the support structure of a managed service with the ownership and continuity of an in-house team member. You manage a hire, not a vendor.
The Remote-US Project Network (Beech Valley)
Beech Valley is a talent-matching network of US-based accounting professionals, many of them CPAs, placed into project and consulting engagements. A large share of its work serves CPA firms and companies needing help with busy season, audits, technical accounting, or other specialized short-term needs. The consultants are experienced and credentialed, but the network is US-only, so you are paying US market rates, and the model is oriented toward finite projects rather than an ongoing seat, with consultants rotating between clients as engagements begin and end.
Why Choose MAVI vs. Beech Valley
An Ongoing Team Member, Not a Project Consultant
Beech Valley is built around finite projects and seasonal engagements, with consultants who rotate between clients. MAVI gives you one dedicated accountant who joins your team and stays, closing your books every month and growing with the business. When the work is ongoing rather than a busy-season spike, a dedicated hire beats a rotating consultant.
Global Talent at a Lower Cost Base
Beech Valley's network is US-based, so you pay US market rates for every engagement. MAVI draws from a global talent network and delivers US-caliber accountants, many with Big 4 backgrounds and full US GAAP depth, at 50 to 70 percent less than a US-based equivalent. Same caliber of work, a fundamentally lower cost base.
Built for Companies Scaling a Finance Function
A large part of Beech Valley's model serves CPA firms and project-based consulting needs. MAVI is built for companies building and scaling their own finance function, from Series A startups to PE-backed mid-market. The roles, vetting, and onboarding assume you are the business, hiring a dedicated accountant for your own team.
Placement in as Fast as 5 Days
MAVI places pre-vetted talent in as fast as five days. A short discovery call, a candidate review, your pick, and they start integrating that week, ready to own your finance function rather than a bounded project scope.
Ownership That Stays Put
A project consultant delivers the engagement and moves on. A dedicated MAVI accountant, embedded in your team over time, learns the business and fixes what needs fixing: the reconciliation that runs late, the manual step nobody automated, the report that could be cleaner. That ownership stays with you rather than leaving when a project closes.
MAVI vs. Beech Valley: Side-by-Side
“We had a specific need and the way that [MAVI] laid out the three candidates and their skillsets – I think that was incredibly helpful to see what they had done, what level they’re at, and what their technical expertise is in certain tools in the office of the CFO.”
Fast-Growing Companies are Choosing MAVI over Beech Valley
Startups
For scaling companies that need an ongoing finance function without US full-time salaries, not a project consultant billed at US rates. A dedicated MAVI accountant owns your books month after month at a far lower cost base.
Mid-Market Companies
For PE-backed and growth-stage teams that need consistent reporting from someone embedded in the business. A dedicated MAVI accountant delivers continuity a rotating project consultant cannot, at 50 to 70 percent less than US rates.
Fractional CFO Firms
For fractional CFO practices that want dedicated, senior talent per client rather than US-priced consultants engaged project by project. MAVI gives each client a consistent global accountant integrated into their systems.
