Finance & Operations Controller

A little bit about us…

Amplio is building the operating system for the industrial circular economy.

Manufacturing runs on machines and parts, and far too many of them get scrapped while they still have years of life left. Meanwhile, other manufacturers are stuck hunting for the exact surplus, used, or hard-to-find equipment that's sitting idle in someone else's warehouse. We connect those two sides.

Our AI-powered platform gives equipment a second life, keeps production lines running, and helps manufacturers stay competitive, all while keeping usable hardware out of landfills.

We're repeat founders, backed by leading VC firms, and we recently closed our Series A. We've found product-market fit: clients are actively using Amplio to move real equipment and real revenue.

We are a small and rapidly growing company. You have an opportunity to come in early, make material decisions, and grow with the company.

A little bit about the role…

This finance-heavy role sits at the center of Amplio's financial operations, owning accounts receivable, accounts payable, audits and reconciliations, and financial reporting. You'll be the business subject matter expert on our financial processes, serving as the main voice helping our Product team build efficiencies into invoicing and financial workflows, and the go-to point of contact for financial questions, both internally across teams and externally with sellers, disposition partners, and other providers. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast moving and sometimes ambiguous, deal driven environment. They bring sharp attention to detail, and can translate financial concepts into plain language for non-finance teammates in Operations and Product. This role is best suited for some who has the ability not just to execute processes but build them too! As our Finance & Operations Controller, you will report to the Head of Operations and be responsible for the following:

• Generate and send invoices to Disposition Partners upon month close or contract trigger
• Manage auction consumer billing: produce invoices for winning bidders, track payment status, and reconcile receipts against auction records
• Monitor outstanding receivables and follow up on late or missing payments
• Confirm and record all inbound payments in the accounting system

• Validate and issue customer payments based on agreed deal terms and net proceeds
• Process payments to Referral Partners per applicable referral agreements
• Review and pay 3PL, logistics, and vendor invoices based on service confirmations
• Maintain accurate payment records with proper categorization by deal, partner, and cost type
• Reconcile gross proceeds against deductions (logistics costs, platform fees, referral fees) to arrive at net customer payment

• Conduct periodic audits of historical payments to verify accuracy and completeness
• Reconcile bank and payment platform statements against internal records, resolving discrepancies or duplicate payments
• Maintain a clean, auditable transaction log across all deal types and partner categories

• Produce close of quarter and annual financial reports for leadership, covering revenue, cost of goods, gross margin, and net payouts
• Deliver deal level P&L breakdowns on request, connecting gross proceeds to net margin after all costs
• Maintain rolling dashboards or summaries between formal reporting period
• Act as our in-house financial process expert, partnering closely with Product to identify and drive improvements to invoicing and other financial workflows

• Serve as the primary point of contact for financial inquiries, both internally across teams and externally from Sellers, Referral Partners, Disposition Partners, and other providers, coordinating with account managers where appropriate
• Maintain and improve internal financial processes, templates, and controls as Amplio scales
• Support the Head of Operations with ad hoc financial analysis, forecasting inputs, and deal economics modeling
• Coordinate with external accountants or tax advisors as needed for compliance and reporting

We are excited about you because…

• You have 3-6 years of experience in accounting, finance operations, or a controller level role
• You have strong AP/AR and reconciliation experience
• You have hands-on proficiency in QuickBooks
• You bring an appetite for automation and are curious about the use of AI to streamline your work
• You communicate confidently and directly with vendors and partners
• You can translate financial concepts into plain language for non-finance teammates
• You are confident and even keeled under pressure
• You bring a low ego and curiosity to your work
• You are comfortable working autonomously in a small, fast moving team where processes are still evolving

Bonus if you have experience in a marketplace, liquidation, logistics, or asset disposition business, familiarity with consignment deal structures.
