Wallop is looking for an Accounting Manager to help our Finance team ensure the financial integrity of our operations and projects.
As Wallop’s Accounting Manager, you’ll be central to our financial operations - keeping our finance books accurate, our projects on track, and our team empowered with the insights they need to succeed.

Beyond the numbers, you’ll streamline systems and workflows (QBO, Salesforce, Forecast), mentor our Accounting Clerk, collaborate with Project Managers, and report to our Director of Finance. This is a unique opportunity to build processes, and have a real impact in a people-oriented, collaborative workplace.
To thrive in this role, you’ll bring hands-on accounting expertise, managerial accounting skills, fluency with QBO, plus the communication and leadership ability to turn numbers into actionable guidance.
