What you'll do

• Execute SOX 404 testing - walkthroughs, control design assessments, and operating effectiveness testing - across business process and IT general controls (ITGCs) at Hut 8, ABTC, and Highrise, documenting workpapers to external audit standards under senior review
• Support testing of IT-dependent, cyber, and automated controls across an application landscape anchored on NetSuite, and assist in evaluating SOC reports for key vendors
• Support evidence collection, control operation, and readiness activities for the ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 attestation programs required by data center and GPU-as-a-Service customers
• Track remediation of control deficiencies, follow up with process owners on corrective action plans, validate closure, and keep issue status current for reporting
• Use AI-enabled audit workflows for documentation, flowcharting, and testing support while ensuring evidence integrity
• Assist in executing the annual risk-based audit plan; support internal audits across financial, operational, compliance, and IT processes and contribute to clear, well-supported reports
• Coordinate evidence requests and support KPMG during quarterly reviews and the annual financial statement audit
• Support special investigations and ad hoc projects requested by senior leadership or the Audit Committee

What you bring

• A Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, or a related field

• Working knowledge of SOX, COSO, and internal control frameworks
• A CPA, CIA, or CISA certification

• You are coachable, organized, and self-directed; you manage assigned testing and deadlines, push through ambiguity, and thrive in a fast-paced, high-accountability team
