About The Role
Do you love bringing order to financial chaos, spotting patterns in the numbers, and keeping books so clean they’d make a CPA weep with joy?

SelfPublishing.com is a back-to-back-to-back Inc. 5000 company, and we’re on the hunt for a Senior Bookkeeper to join our growing team. Our mission is to transform lives through authorship—and behind every life-changing book we help launch, there’s a team that runs on clarity, accountability, and financial excellence. That’s where you come in.
We’re looking for someone who’s not just experienced in bookkeeping, but thrives on precision, consistency, and ownership. Someone who gets fired up about accurate reporting, reconciliations that actually reconcile, and systems that scale.
This is a full-time, in-person role based in Austin, TX, and you’ll work closely with our finance, operations, and leadership teams to ensure our financial foundation is rock-solid and always audit-ready.
What You’ll Be Doing
As our Senior Bookkeeper, you’ll play a central role in organizing, maintaining, and improving our financial systems. You’ll own the day-to-day bookkeeping tasks that keep our business running smoothly and empower our leadership to make smart, data-informed decisions.
You’ll take pride in keeping everything buttoned up—bank and credit card reconciliations, vendor payments, payroll prep, reporting, and more. You’ll also provide support for strategic financial planning and process improvement.
This is more than just crunching numbers—it’s about building trust, ensuring accuracy, and helping us grow with confidence.

Consistent, high-quality inbound leads with phenomenal support. Working with a team of other top 1% performers. High-income earning potential + great benefits. Selfpublishing.com checks all of those boxes and more.”
