Accountant

Bring Big Four rigor to a company building the financial backbone of American compute — where your close, your reconciliations, and your judgment shape infrastructure as it scales.

ABOUT US

Atlas is a next-generation digital infrastructure and energy company. We operate large-scale data center infrastructure in North Dakota, Montana, Kentucky, and Texas. Our foundation is built on a rich family history in heavy industrial development, and we cut our data center teeth in crypto. Now we’re building our team and executing against a new mandate — build the infrastructure backbone of the new industrial revolution.

We measure success by the communities we build in, not just the compute we deliver.

Positive community impact matters to us — and for us, impact means engaging with what communities actually care about. We invest where we operate, helping the places we call home forge ahead and play mission-critical roles in a new industrial frontier.

ABOUT YOU

You started your career in public accounting — with at least a year at a Big 4 firm — and you’re ready to take that technical foundation into a fast-moving, growth-stage company. You understand debits and credits, but more importantly you understand why they matter. You’re comfortable with a close process, reconciliations, and supporting an external audit, and you want a role where your work directly shapes a company’s financial infrastructure at an exciting stage of growth. You’re an innovative problem solver who gets things done with quality and speed, and you treat continuous learning as a daily practice. You communicate clearly and effectively — in writing and in person — and you have a strong command of accounting principles and financial processes. You can pivot priorities as critical issues arise, you’re self-driven in both autonomous and highly collaborative settings, and you want a positive culture where employees are engaged and helping define the digital asset revolution.

You’ll work closely with the CFO and Controller to build and maintain accounting processes that scale with the company.
