The posting

Namecheap is in the business of opening doors to online success. We make it easy for anyone to build a winning web presence — with simple domain registration, affordable hosting, trusted security and privacy products, and an award-winning customer service team available 24/7. As proud advocates for online privacy and net neutrality, we put clients first — which is why we're one of the web's largest registrars, with millions of happy customers and over 32 million domains under management (and counting).

About the role

Now, as we enter an ambitious new stage of growth, we're looking for a Financial Controller to own the integrity of our financial reporting and transform how it's produced. This is a hands-on build-and-lead role: modernizing our systems, bringing the accounting function to full US GAAP rigor, and building a leaner, more automated finance organization, reporting directly to the CFO.

Why this role

Most Controller roles are about keeping the financial engine running. This one is about rebuilding and fine-tuning that engine so we're ready to scale commercially.

You will rebuild our accounting function from first principles, with the resources of a profitable, PE-backed company behind you. For a finance leader who would rather design the system than inherit it, that combination is rare:

  • A genuine greenfield build: Rebuild the accounting function from the chart of accounts up — systems, close, controls, and reporting — and bring it to full US GAAP rigor as we scale.
  • Own the technology: Move us off legacy tooling onto a modern, AI-native ERP, and design an operating model built around automation from day one.
  • AI-native by design. Build a lean, senior team modeled on the most automated finance orgs in tech — where expert people focus on judgment and impact, and AI handles manual work.
  • Real ownership, and a career-defining role: Own the accounting function end to end, lead an established team, and partner with the CFO as they focus on strategic finance and treasury—building the experience that prepares you for your next leadership role.
  • Startup-like canvas, scale-up rewards: The build-from-scratch experience of an early-stage company, with compensation set well above typical early-stage benchmarks, plus potential equity in a business entering its next growth phase.

What you’ll own

Accounting & Close

  • Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, delivering accurate, timely consolidated financials.
  • Own the general ledger, technical accounting, and financial reporting — including revenue recognition across domains, renewals, hosting subscriptions, and marketplace/auction transactions; deferred revenue; and multi-currency and intercompany accounting.
  • Oversee accounting across diverse payment rails (cards, PayPal, crypto, bank transfer) and reconcile high-volume, low-value transaction flows.
  • Design and run an internal controls framework across multiple entities, currencies, and jurisdictions — right-sized to our stage.
  • Prepare board- and sponsor-ready reporting, partner with FP&A on variance analysis, and manage relationships with external auditors, tax advisors, and banking partners.

Rebuild & Transformation

  • Re-architect the accounting foundations from first principles and bring the function to full US GAAP rigor.
  • Partner with the CFO to select a modern, AI-native ERP, then lead the end-to-end implementation — design, data migration, testing, and go-live — moving us off legacy tooling.
  • Re-engineer close, reporting, and controls to be scalable, automated, and audit-ready as the business grows.
  • Lead change management across finance and adjacent functions (revenue operations, billing, product) and manage the transformation to measurable outcomes.

An AI-First Operating Model

  • Build accounting operations around automation from the ground up — close automation, reconciliation, anomaly detection, and AI-assisted reporting and analysis.
  • Design a lean, high-seniority team where experts focus on judgment and impact while AI handles the manual work, moving beyond a traditional monthly-close cadence.
  • Evaluate and adopt emerging finance-AI tooling, consistent with the AI-embedded philosophy already built into our own products.

Team Leadership

  • Lead and develop an established accounting team, reshaping structure and ownership as the operating model evolves.
  • Set the standard for a build-first culture — clear processes, strong documentation, and continuous improvement over legacy manual habits.

What you’ll bring

  • Big Four foundations: You trained at a top-tier global accounting firm, ideally with multi-entity consolidations and multi-currency environments and US GAAP exposure.
  • CPA, or an equivalent international qualification (e.g., ACCA, CA).
  • 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including time as a Controller or Assistant Controller.
  • Deep technical accounting expertise: ASC 606 (multi-element, marketplace, and subscription revenue), ASC 350 (goodwill, intangibles, and capitalized software), ASC 830 (multi-currency operations), and ASC 805 (business combinations) — with the judgment to handle what's not in the textbook (e.g., crypto payment accounting under ASU 2023-08).
  • Hands-on ERP implementation experience: You’ve led or heavily contributed to a major ERP rollout, not just operated within one.
  • Experience in high-volume, low-ACV transaction flows (e-commerce, subscription, SaaS, or marketplace) is a strong plus.
  • A first-principles builder: You’d rather design systems than maintain them, and you’re energized by ambiguity and a blank canvas.
  • A proven transformation and change leader with specific processes you’ve rebuilt, systems you’ve implemented, and teams you’ve upskilled.
  • A genuine AI-native mindset: Real experience automating finance workflows, and a clear point of view on where AI creates leverage in close, reporting, and controls.
  • Comfort with the control and audit rigor of a larger or public company — and the judgment to right-size it for our stage.

What success looks like in year one

  • A new or significantly re-architected ERP live and stable, with the accounting team fully transitioned onto it
  • A documented finance transformation roadmap with clear milestones beyond year one
  • Close is faster and materially less manual, with automation embedded across reconciliation and reporting.
  • A strengthened internal controls framework appropriate to our scale and transaction complexity
  • The accounting foundations are rebuilt to full US GAAP rigor, from the chart of accounts up.
  • The team is reshaped into a leaner, more senior structure with clear ownership.
  • You’ve built a trusted partnership with the CFO, executive leadership, and CVC.
