[Hiring] Accounting Manager @The LaunchCode Foundation

Role Description

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.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a closely related field
• 4+ years of progressive accounting experience, including direct ownership of both accounts payable and payroll
• Demonstrated experience with high-volume AP processing and full-cycle, multi-state payroll
• Proficiency with QuickBooks Online (or equivalent), Bill.com (or equivalent), and UKG (or an equivalent payroll platform)
• Strong attention to detail and comfort operating inside hard AP and payroll deadlines

Requirements

• Own the full AP cycle in Bill.com and QuickBooks - vendor invoices, contractor/SOW payments, corporate card (Navan) approvals, vendor onboarding, and AP aging review.
• Run biweekly, salary, and off-cycle payroll in UKG, including payroll splits and allocations, timesheet approvals, and UKG cost center maintenance.
• Administer 401(k) force-outs, quarter-end payroll close, W-2 corrections, garnishments, and bonus/stipend payouts.
• Support monthly close across multiple legal entities - bank reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, and expense review.
• Support vendor renewals, multi-installment contract tracking, and SOW/MSA review as it relates to invoicing.

Benefits

• 12 paid holidays and accrue 25 days of Paid Time Off per year
• 100% employer-funded medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums for employees and 75% employer-funded premiums for dependents
• 401k contribution match up to 6%, vesting after 6 months
• 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave
