Financial Controller (Director)

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).

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.

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:

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
