The role
We’re looking for a Controller loves to build, not just maintain. You’ll own the accounting function end-to-end, close the books with confidence, and be a key voice in shaping how our finance infrastructure scales. You’ll work closely with the CFO and have one direct report (Sr. Accountant) to grow with you.
This is a hands-on role with real scope. You’ll be expected to bring structure and judgment, and you should be genuinely excited about using automation and modern tooling to make the team faster and smarter — not just processing transactions.
What you’ll own
- Lead the monthly, quarterly, and annual close — on time, every time, with a clear audit trail
- Build and improve scalable accounting processes — AP, AR, payroll, fixed assets, equity — from the ground up where needed
- Manage our tech stack (QuickBooks/Intacct, Salesforce, Rillet, Ramp) and drive automation to reduce manual work
- Own revenue recognition under ASC 606
- Own and manage the annual external audit
- Partner with Sales Ops on the full quote-to-cash cycle, to ensure clean revenue recognition, ARR reporting, and commissions calculations.
- Establish and maintain the internal control environment — documented policies, clean reconciliations, and a foundation that scales as we grow
- Prepare financial statements and support tax filings and board-level reporting
- Partner with the CFO on budgeting, forecasting, and strategic finance projects as the company grows
- Mentor and develop the Sr. Accountant; model what great finance culture looks like
What we’re looking for
- 7–10 years of progressive accounting experience, with meaningful time inside SaaS or subscription businesses
- You’ve built processes, not just inherited them
- Strong command of US GAAP, ASC 606, and SaaS-specific accounting nuances (ARR, deferred revenue, commissions under ASC 340-40)
- Experience owning the external audit relationship end-to-end
- Hands-on with tools — comfortable with Rillet, Ramp, and Salesforce
- Automation-oriented mindset — you’re always asking “why are we doing this manually?” and you do something about it
- Clear, direct communicator who can translate numbers into narrative for non-finance stakeholders
HERE’S A LITTLE MORE ABOUT US
Brinqa was founded in 2008 by cybersecurity and technology veterans that witnessed first-hand the significant amount of time and people it took a company to manage the various tools and resources to protect the business from the ever evolving and changing world of cybersecurity.
Building a cybersecurity platform that connects all of the relevant IT, security, and business data resources to create a common data view with actionable insights would give companies a resource that would allow them to respond faster, smarter and more efficiently.
In June 2021, with a solid and effective product benefiting and significantly impacting Fortune 50 companies, Brinqa received its first and only institutionalized funding with Insight Partners. Investing $110M and a minority position in the business, Insight Partners provided Brinqa a way to provide their cybersecurity platform product to more enterprise companies by building their employee base with expertise in Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Professional Services and People.
It is an exciting time of growth and for individuals to make an immediate and lasting impact on the company and its market
