Careers at Keel
Keel Infrastructure is a publicly traded energy and digital infrastructure company that develops and owns data centers and power assets across North America.
At Keel, you're not just joining a company, you're helping build the infrastructure behind the future of compute.
Why Keel
We're at the intersection of energy and technology, two industries transforming in real time.
The work is complex. The pace is fast. The impact is real.
You'll be part of a team that values:
We are currently looking for a Senior Financial Analyst – Internal Controls to join our team
Purpose of the Role
The Senior Financial Analyst, Internal Controls will join Keel's Internal Controls team, reporting directly to the Director of Internal Controls, within the Finance department. The team is responsible for maintaining Keel's SOX compliance program and is expanding its mandate to cover risk management and control implementation across the Finance function more broadly, as Keel's business evolves.
This role supports the first line of defense - control owners across the business - rather than performing control testing (which is outsourced to a third-party service provider). The team's objective is to help control owners succeed, ensure controls are properly designed and operating, and support a clean annual SOX audit opinion as the company's processes and risk profile evolve. This role focuses on financial and operational internal controls, with IT and systems compliance managed by another Keel department (IT team).

The Senior Financial Analyst, Internal Controls will join Keel's Internal Controls team, reporting directly to the Director of Internal Controls, within the Finance department. The team is responsible for maintaining Keel's SOX compliance program and is expanding its mandate to cover risk management and control implementation across the Finance function more broadly, as Keel's business evolves.

This role focuses on financial and operational internal controls, with IT and systems compliance managed by another Keel department (IT team).
What You'll Do
- Support the maintenance and continuous improvement of Keel's SOX program as the business evolves, and act as a day-to-day point of contact for control owners on control design, documentation, and best practices
- Contribute to extending Keel's internal controls scope beyond SOX - participating in risk assessments and process description/documentation work, and helping build out risk management and controls capabilities across non-SOX areas of the Finance function
- Maintain and update the Company's internal control documentation (risk registers, RCM, process descriptions, etc.)
- Help identify opportunities to rationalize controls - keeping them efficient and proportionate to the risk they address, and avoiding unnecessary or duplicative controls
- Track control deficiencies and support control owners in designing and monitoring remediation plans
- Assist the Director in coordinating testing activities with Keel's external testing service provider and in engaging with the external auditor on SOX-related matters
- Prepare reporting on the internal controls environment for relevant stakeholders (management, the Board, and other parties as appropriate)
- Support the team in adapting the internal controls environment to the growing use of AI tools by control owners
- CPA or other relevant professional certification (CPA preferred)
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
- 3+ years of relevant experience in internal controls, internal/external audit, or a related field, ideally with a Big 4 or other reputable audit/consulting firm and exposure to public companies
- Experience with relevant frameworks (COSO, SOX 404, etc.)
- Strong process and risk analysis skills; ability to translate processes into clear documentation (narratives, flowcharts, RCM entries)
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work directly and collaboratively with control owners and other stakeholders
