Financial Analyst – Finance Rotation Program

Compass Datacenters is seeking an early-career finance professional for its Finance Rotation Program. The role rotates across Finance functions, delivering financial analysis, forecasts, reporting, process improvements, and project finance support while developing toward permanent placement in a functional finance group.

What you'll do:

• Deliver accurate, well-supported analysis on schedule, under the direction of the rotation lead you are assigned to
• Learn a new function, its systems, and its stakeholders quickly enough to be producing usable work within your first 30 days
• Translate operational and project realities into financial terms for the function you are supporting
• Use approved AI tools to accelerate research, analysis, and recurring reporting, and verify output against source data before it is circulated
• Document your work so the next person can pick it up without a verbal handoff
• Build working relationships across Finance, Supply Chain, Operations, and Delivery
• Participate in structured coaching, mentoring, and career development throughout the program
• Prepare monthly forecasts, budget input, and variance analysis for assigned cost centers, sites, functions, or projects, and write the commentary that goes with them
• Support month-end close, including accrual schedules, reclasses, and account reconciliations
• Pull, clean, and reconcile data across NetSuite, Procore, and other source systems, and be able to trace any number you produce back to its source
• Build and maintain recurring reporting and dashboards in Excel, Power BI, and the company's FP&A tool, and flag the cost trends and anomalies you find rather than waiting to be asked
• Use approved AI tools to summarize contracts and reports, extract data from unstructured documents, and draft first-pass analysis, verifying every figure against source before it is circulated

What they're looking for:

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related quantitative field, completed by the program start date
• Experience: 0 to 2 years of full-time professional experience in finance, accounting, or a comparable analytical role. Relevant internship or co-op experience counts toward this
• Excel: able to build a multi-tab analysis from raw data using lookups, pivot tables, and conditional logic, without add-ins
• Written analysis: able to explain a variance in three sentences to someone who does not work in Finance
• Language: fluent spoken and written skills in English
• Work authorization: must be legally authorized to work in either the United States or Canada. Your office assignment follows your work authorization
• Work arrangement: able to work in office full time at the assigned location
• Comfortable being the new person: you restart the learning curve every six to twelve months, and the discomfort of not yet knowing has to be tolerable
• Sound judgment about when a number needs to be checked against source, and the confidence to escalate rather than guess. This applies equally to your own work and to anything an AI tool produces
• Solid grounding in accounting and financial reporting principles and practices
• Strong conceptual and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail that survives a deadline
• Able to build trust quickly with people who did not choose you and who will hand you off in a few months

Benefits:

• Participate in structured coaching, mentoring, and career development throughout the program
• Compass supports CPA, CFA, and CMA exam costs and annual dues
