Opportunities
Staff Accountant
The Opportunity
The Pennybacker Company is seeking a Staff Accountant to join our growing outsourced accounting and CFO practice in Northwest Austin. This onsite position is available on either a full-time or part-time basis and is designed for early-career accounting professionals who want to accelerate their careers by working across multiple industries and business models, not just within a single company. Rather than specializing in tax preparation or performing repetitive accounting tasks, you'll work alongside experienced accountants who serve as trusted financial partners to business owners. You'll gain broad exposure to accounting, financial reporting, business operations, and advisory services while helping clients make better financial decisions.
Because you'll support a diverse portfolio of growing businesses, you'll develop technical accounting skills much faster than in many traditional corporate accounting roles.
Schedule
We believe exceptional accounting doesn't require sacrificing your personal life. Our typical work week is intentionally designed to meet client deadlines while providing employees with a consistent, predictable schedule.
Full-Time Hours
-
Monday: 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM
-
Tuesday – Thursday: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
-
Friday: 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Part-time schedules are available within these hours.
Our team values efficiency, preparation, and focused execution. That means our schedule is designed to support both excellent client outcomes and a meaningful work-life balance.
Why Join Pennybacker?
For more than 30 years, The Pennybacker Company has helped entrepreneurs and growing businesses transform financial information into meaningful business insight.
We provide accounting, analytics, and outsourced CFO services that enable business owners to make confident, informed decisions. Our clients rely on us not only for accurate financial reporting, but also for practical guidance that helps strengthen and grow their businesses.
Our team values curiosity, initiative, professionalism, and continuous learning. We believe exceptional accountants are more than recordkeepers, they are problem-solvers who understand how businesses operate and how financial information drives better decisions.
If you're looking for a role where you'll learn far more than processing transactions, you'll fit right in.
