This is an ideal position from which to develop an understanding of RBC’s significant business issues, build technical and leadership skills and develop strong relationships across the Bank.

As part of the Chief Accountant’s Group in our Toronto head office, you will be part of a collaborative team culture that strives to challenge ourselves to be our best, think progressively to keep growing, and work together to deliver collective results.

Coordinate with various stakeholders, including Investor Relations, Performance Management, Corporate Treasury, Chief Controls Office and Group Risk Management, among others, to incorporate key updates on financial performance, reporting and disclosures, market insights and finance projects with a focus on elevating and highlighting the role of finance. Own the process and bring your unique perspective to set ambitious goals, implement process improvements and challenge the status quo while fostering strong partnerships
- Provide oversight of and insights into our audit and audit-related fees, enabling fee discussions with our external auditors in partnership with the Finance and Procurement teams, and providing executive reporting to the Audit Committee
- Provide accounting advisory services to internal stakeholders across RBC by advising on complex accounting issues, including special projects, and working with key stakeholders to ensure conclusions are consistent with our corporate accounting policies
- Communicate financial and organizational impacts and status updates to senior finance executives
- Support our quarterly external reporting process as a key member of the team in managing the preparation and delivery of critical elements of our reporting, including reviewing and drafting certain quarterly and annual disclosures, and partnering with key stakeholders to ensure the accuracy and quality of our disclosures
- Liaise with industry peers on accounting matters as needed through industry associations (e.g., Canadian Bankers Association)
- Liaise with the external and internal auditors on financial accounting and reporting policy issues, as needed
- Shape future accounting and disclosure requirements by supporting advocacy efforts on accounting-related issues, including providing comments on new Discussion Papers or Exposure Drafts issued by accounting and regulatory bodies
- Contribute to a collaborative, team-first environment and bring your unique perspective and curiosity to set ambitious goals and drive process improvement initiatives to challenge the status quo

**What do you need to succeed?**

**Must-have**
- Chartered Professional Accountant designation
- 7+ years of working experience in a financial services and/or accounting policy or similar role
- Experience with financial reporting
- Strong analytical, organizational and problem solving skills - ability to manage multiple priorities, including stakeholdering and lead independently, while knowing when to escalate and ask for support
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including ability to communicate effectively to senior executives, presenting accounting items in a commercial context
- Strong interpersonal skills - specifically, able to act as change agent, facilitator and collaborator
- Proactive and forward-thinking approach
