Senior Staff Accountant
North Austin | Fully In‑Office
Base Salary: $75,000–$80,000 + 10% annual bonus eligible
We're partnering with a well‑established financial services organization in North Austin to hire a Senior Staff Accountant to join their growing accounting team.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced Staff Accountant who enjoys a structured environment, takes ownership of their work, and is looking for long‑term stability with the opportunity to grow as systems and processes continue to evolve.
About the Company:
Our client is a stable, privately held organization operating in the specialty finance and asset management space. They support multiple operating entities and have a strong reputation for disciplined financial operations, long‑tenured leadership, and conservative growth.
