Controller, Finance & Banking, Financial Reporting

Amplified Marketing is a boutique, award winning experiential agency that builds brand experiences through lifestyle, entertainment, fashion, beauty, sports and hospitality programs. We are currently seeking a Controller to join the growing team.

• Own the financial health, visibility, and sustainability of the business.
• Proactively identify risks and opportunities for Amplified’s financial success.
• The Controller ensures Amplified operates with accurate financial visibility, strong fiscal discipline, and the systems needed to support sustainable growth.
• Beyond maintaining the books, this role builds, implements, and enforces the financial processes AMP needs to protect margin, including project-level P&L tracking, budget baselines, and time/cost reconciliation that do not exist today.

• Hands-on controller with experience in agency, experiential, or project-based businesses.
• A builder, not just a maintainer. Someone who has built financial systems and processes from the ground up, not just run existing ones.
• Strong operator who can move between high-level financial strategy and detailed day-to-day oversight.
• Clear communicator who translates financial data into actionable insights for non-financial leaders.
• Comfortable holding cross-functional teams accountable to budget and process, including teams that don’t directly report to them.
• Detail-oriented and highly accountable, with strong financial discipline and integrity.
• Collaborative partner to the CEO, COO, and leadership team.
• Proactive in identifying risks, inefficiencies, and opportunities for growth.
• Comfortable building systems, not just managing outputs.

• Build and enforce a project-level P&L system. Establish budget baselines at project kickoff and reconcile actuals against them at close, so margin is visible in real time rather than surfaced after the fact.
• Design and implement time-tracking across teams to capture true labor cost against project budgets, a core margin input not currently tracked.
• Establish the process for how estimates are reviewed and how projects are locked in (revenue, line-item cost, expected gross profit) with visibility to the deal team and leadership.
• Own agency P&L tracking and reporting, including revenue, profitability, project margin, and cost management across accounts and departments.
• Own financial planning, forecasting, and budgeting across the agency.
• Work closely with the CEO and COO to align financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting with company goals and growth targets.
• Provide clear visibility into revenue, profitability, and cost drivers across accounts and projects; facilitate cross-team communication and collaboration.
• Oversee financial review of pricing, scoping, margin tracking, and profitability across new and existing business.
• Partner with Client Services and Production to ensure projects are scoped, priced, and managed profitably.
• Identify financial risks and opportunities across accounts and proactively recommend solutions.
• Maintain accurate financial reporting and provide regular business performance updates to leadership.
• Work closely with accountants and owners to maintain clean financial records, tax planning, payments, and visibility.

• Accuracy and reliability of forecasts and financial planning.
• Improved profitability and margin performance across projects and accounts.
• Reduction in financial surprises, scope overages, and margin erosion.
• Accuracy, consistency, and usefulness of financial reporting for leadership decision-making.

• Create and enforce the change-order and reconciliation processes that catch scope and cost…
