Emily Adler
VP of Finance

Emily Adler is a VP Finance Consultant at Amplēo who helps founders and owners turn financial complexity into clear, confident decisions. She partners with leadership through moments of growth and change, bringing depth across FP&A, financial modeling, cash flow management, accounting operations, and systems implementation. As a three-time founding or early-stage leader, she knows the pressures entrepreneurs face and builds the right-sized financial and operational infrastructure to match the moment. Her experience spans SaaS, manufacturing and distribution, and modular construction and leasing, and she brings a systems and AI-forward mindset that delivers faster insights and more efficient operations.

Before joining Amplēo in 2026, Emily spent more than two decades building and leading finance functions from the ground up. As Interim VP of Finance for a manufacturer and distributor of LED lighting, she led an asset-based refinancing, closing on a new facility within the first 120 days of the engagement, and worked with leadership to reduce fixed costs by over 20%. As co-founder and VP of Finance & Operations at a SaaS startup, she partnered with the CEO to raise several million in SAFE funding and scale to multiple millions in ARR. Earlier, as one of the first five employees at a national modular building construction and leasing company, she built the financial and operational backbone that supported growth to $60M in revenue and managed a $60M asset-based credit facility with a national lender syndicate. Across engagements, leaders describe her the same way: she does what she says she will do.
