The position also advises senior management on the accounting implications of strategic initiatives and mentors finance teams across the organization on reporting and accounting policy.

• Monitor accounting standard-setting and emerging issues, producing internal position papers and drafting/reviewing comment letters on exposure drafts.
• Liaise with standard setters and professional bodies (e.g., CICA, IASB, FASB) to stay ahead of new requirements and proactively assess impacts to OPG.
• Maintain and enhance corporate accounting policies, processes, and controls to ensure compliance with GAAP and external reporting requirements.
• Partner with external auditors to resolve complex and non-routine accounting matters, ensuring timely, well-supported conclusions.
• Advise senior leaders on accounting implications of strategic initiatives (capital investments, rate strategy, pension/OPEB changes), safeguarding confidentiality and corporate interests.
• Lead capability-building and oversight within Finance by supervising and mentoring advisors/accountants, delivering training on accounting policy, compliance, and certification-support expectations (CEO/CFO).

Qualifications

• Education & designation: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field, with a CPA designation required.
• Minimum 5 years of experience.
• External reporting expertise: Demonstrated experience preparing/reviewing quarterly and annual external reporting deliverables (e.g., MD&A, financial statements/notes, AIF, news releases) and supporting Board/Audit Committee materials.
• Strong technical accounting capability: Advanced knowledge of GAAP/IFRS and proven ability to research, analyze, and document conclusions on complex/non-routine accounting issues and disclosure matters.
• Regulatory and governance awareness: Working knowledge of securities/regulatory reporting expectations (e.g., OSC-style filing environment), materiality/disclosure judgment, and internal control considerations supporting CEO/CFO certifications.
• Audit and stakeholder management: Proven ability to partner effectively with external auditors and to communicate clearly with senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Leadership, coaching, and continuous improvement: Experience leading projects, mentoring/training finance professionals on policy/reporting topics, and driving efficient, cost-effective processes while maintaining high standards of confidentiality and compliance.

The base salary range considers many factors including, but not limited to experience, education, and training, including any collective agreement requirements for union represented positions. It is not typical for the salary to be offered near the top of the range, and salary is dependent on numerous factors. For management roles, the base salary range does not represent the total compensation package. The total compensation package for regular full-time management roles includes pay-for-performance programs for annual and medium time periods. Maintaining a high-performance culture and excellence is a core expectation of every member of our leadership team and is rewarded through the established compensation framework.
