Amped Kitchens
$120,000–$140,000 + Performance Bonus
Full-Time Los Angeles HybridAmped Kitchens is a real estate operating company that owns and operates commercial food production facilities in Los Angeles and Chicago. Since we opened in 2015, we’ve pioneered the large-scale, multi-tenant commercial kitchen model, serving CPG brands, restaurant groups, caterers, meal-subscription companies, and other food businesses producing at scale.
Unlike a traditional landlord, we combine real estate with hands-on property operations and client service.
After more than a decade of operating and refining our model, we’re strengthening our leadership team and formalizing our financial and operating processes to prepare for disciplined growth. We’re looking for a Controller to lead the accounting function and help us do that well.
The Role
You’ll own Amped’s accounting function and oversee payroll and financial administration. You’ll report directly to the CEO and work closely with our fractional CFO, Director of Facilities, Tenant Coordinators, and outside accounting and audit partners.
The near-term priority is to improve the month-end and quarter-end close, financial reporting, controls, data quality, and property-level accounting processes across the company.
You’ll work closely with our fractional CFO to turn reliable financial data into useful forecasts, management dashboards, financial analysis, and decision support for the CEO and operating leaders.
Responsibilities

Oversee payroll, benefits administration, onboarding and offboarding, employee records, and routine HR compliance through ADP TotalSource.Oversee corporate insurance administration, including renewals, claims, and related lender and company documentation.Improve our use of AppFolio and other financial and administrative systems.What We’re Looking For
Seven or more years of progressive accounting experience.Experience as a Controller, Assistant Controller, Accounting Manager, or Senior Property Accountant with substantial month-end close responsibility.Strong knowledge of GAAP and accrual accounting.Experience in commercial real estate, property management, hospitality, or another multi-location operating business strongly preferred.Experience preparing financial statements and managing property-level or multi-entity accounting.Strong understanding of internal controls and process improvement.Advanced Excel skills.Ability to explain accounting issues and financial results clearly to operating leaders.CPA or CMA certification preferred but not required.AppFolio experience is a plus.
The Right Person
The strongest candidates will:
Build controls and processes that people will follow consistently.Use accounting to help the business operate better and achieve its goals.Spot discrepancies, unusual trends, and process gaps early.Identify opportunities to improve financial performance, cash flow, and operating efficiency.Ask questions and surface problems directly.Turn financial data into actionable information for the CEO and operating leaders.Coach onsite staff and raise the quality of their work.Understand that accurate billing and clear financial communication build trust with clients, vendors, lenders, and investors.
Why Amped?
Amped is an established, founder-led company with a proven operating model and substantial room to grow.
Our next phase is about turning what we’ve learned over more than a decade into a more disciplined and scalable real estate platform. That means better systems, more reliable reporting, stronger operating controls, and accounting processes that can support additional properties.
The Controller will play a central role in that transition. You’ll help prepare Amped to grow both as an owner of commercial food-production real estate and, potentially, as a third-party manager for other property owners.
This is an opportunity to help an entrepreneurial company mature without losing the speed, judgment, and operating focus that made it successful.
