Job summary

Coastal is seeking a Partner ICFR Analyst to document partner controls tied to Coastal's financial reporting and perform targeted testing for gaps. You will map controls to the Partner ICFR Framework, maintain control inventories, and document evidence for audit reviews.

You will develop and execute testing procedures, evaluate control design, and prepare workpapers that capture evidence, exceptions, and preliminary conclusions. A strong background in SOX/ICFR and fintech controls is essential.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree and/or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
• 5+ years of relevant experience in Internal Controls, SOX/ICFR, Internal Audit, public accounting, financial controls, risk management, or related control testing functions.
• Experience performing business process control testing, alternative control procedures, or other risk-based internal control testing preferred.
• Experience working with SOC reports, CUEC assessments, or ITGC audit results as inputs to internal control testing preferred.
• Fintech, Banking as a Service, financial services, or banking experience preferred.

Responsibilities

• Obtain and document partner controls relevant to Coastal's ICFR requirements and map those controls to Coastal's Partner ICFR Framework.
• Maintain partner ICFR control inventories, alternative control testing documentation, gap tracking, and supporting evidence.
• Receive identified control or assurance gaps from Financial Controls, Coastal's partner risk function, or other responsible teams and determine the specific partner control or control objective requiring targeted testing.
• Develop and perform targeted alternative testing procedures consistent with Coastal's approved methodology and the specific financial reporting risk identified.
• Perform targeted testing of identified CUEC gaps; this role does not independently determine CUEC applicability or identify CUEC coverage gaps.
• Perform walkthroughs of specific controls subject to testing, as needed, to understand control design and how the control operates in practice.
• Obtain and evaluate evidence supporting the design and operating effectiveness of the specific controls being tested, including validating testing populations and sample selections when required.
• Prepare testing workpapers documenting the control tested, period and population covered, evidence reviewed, testing attributes, results, exceptions, resolution of exceptions, and preliminary conclusions.
• Identify control deficiencies, missing evidence, testing exceptions, or insufficient support encountered during testing and elevate concerns to the Fintech Financial Controls Manager.
• Track remediation of testing exceptions and perform follow-up testing as assigned.
• Support the Fintech Financial Controls Manager in evaluating whether targeted testing adequately addresses the identified control or assurance gap.
• Coordinate with Coastal's Partner Risk and Internal Control testing team when SOC, ITGC, CUEC, transaction, or account-level testing matters require additional assessment or support.
• Communicate testing status, exceptions, remediation progress, and potential financial reporting impacts to the Fintech Financial Controls Manager and assist with management and audit reporting as requested.
