LaunchCode is seeking an experienced Accounting Manager to own Accounts Payable and serve as a core contributor to payroll processing and monthly close. The role owns the AP cycle end to end through Bill.com and QuickBooks, runs payroll on a hard biweekly cutoff, and maintains restricted-funding tracking so grant and donor dollars stay within their intended restrictions. Accuracy, timeliness, and clean documentation are the defining expectations, since this work feeds directly into month-end close, audit, and funder reporting. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, comfortable working inside deadline-driven cycles, and confident owning a process end-to-end without close supervision.

• Accounting & Month-End Close: Support monthly close across multiple legal entities - bank reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, and expense review.

• Vendor & Contract Support: Support vendor renewals, multi-installment contract tracking, and SOW/MSA review as it relates to invoicing.
