Controller 

Drawbridge | Reports to: Chief Financial Officer | Location: Remote (US) 

About Drawbridge 

Drawbridge is the leading cybersecurity SaaS platform serving the alternative investment industry, including private equity, hedge fund, and private credit managers. We help our clients identify, monitor, and remediate cyber risk across their firms and their portfolio companies. 

Drawbridge is a portfolio company of Francisco Partners and Long Ridge Equity Partners, two leading technology-focused private equity firms. As a Francisco Partners portfolio company, Drawbridge benefits from a deep network of operational best practices and peer Controller community. 

The Role 

We are seeking a Controller to lead and scale an accounting team that supports a rapidly growing, investor-backed SaaS business.  This role is responsible for the integrity of the company’s financials, ownership of the close process, optimizing financial infrastructure, improving business insights, audit leadership, and day-to-day accounting operations. 

With a strong systems foundation already in place, the Controller will focus on elevating the function—refining processes, driving automation, and implementing best-in-class practices. Success in this role requires close partnership with FP&A and Operations, where many of the highest-impact efficiency gains sit. 

This is a high-visibility role with regular exposure to executive leadership and investors. The Controller will lead a team of three and collaborate cross-functionally with FP&A, Sales Operations, and HR. 

Key Responsibilities 

Accounting & Financial Reporting 

  • Partner with FP&A to ensure alignment between financial reporting and key SaaS metrics (ARR, MRR, churn, deferred revenue, bookings) ensuring data integrity across systems 

  • Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and strong internal discipline 

  • Lead preparation of GAAP-compliant financial statements and supporting disclosures for board, sponsor, and lender reporting 

  • Oversee technical accounting areas, with a focus on ASC 606 (SaaS revenue recognition) and other complex topics 

Audit, Tax & Compliance 

  • Serve as the primary liaison with external auditors; lead the annual audit process, including PBC coordination, technical memos, and audit committee deliverables 

  • Coordinate tax compliance across federal, state, and international jurisdictions in partnership with external advisors 

  • Enhance robust accounting policies and internal control frameworks 

Systems & Process Optimization 

The Controller will play a critical role in driving the next phase of operational maturity: 

  • Own and optimize the NetSuite environment, including chart of accounts structure, workflows, reporting, and module utilization 

  • Identify and execute automation opportunities across order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, and record-to-report cycles 

  • Partner with FP&A and Operations to streamline data flows, reduce manual processes, and improve reporting speed and accuracy 

  • Take a proactive, hands-on approach—identifying opportunities, scoping solutions, and driving execution end-to-end 

Treasury & Cash Management 

  • Oversee treasury operations, including cash management and working capital optimization 

  • Lead 13-week Cash Flash  

Team Leadership 

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of three accounting professionals 

  • Foster a high-performance, continuous improvement culture within the function 

What We’re Looking For 

  • CPA strongly preferred 

  • 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including a foundation in public accounting (Big 4 or leading national/regional firm) 

  • Experience within a private equity-backed SaaS company (required) 

  • Deep experience with NetSuite, including system optimization, reporting, and integrations 

  • Proven ability to automate processes and drive accounting and systems improvements 

  • Strong understanding of key business KPIs (ARR, churn, bookings, EBITDA) 

  • Strong technical accounting expertise 

  • Demonstrated people leadership experience with a focus on team development 

  • An operator mindset—someone who identifies gaps, builds solutions, and drives execution independently 

Nice to Have 

  • M&A and post-acquisition integration experience 

  • Multi-entity or multi-subsidiary environment experience 

Why This Role 

  • Opportunity to shape and scale the accounting function at a growing, PE-backed SaaS company 

  • High visibility with leadership and investors 

  • Strong systems foundation with meaningful runway for impact 

  • Access to best practices and a peer network through Francisco Partners
