Amazon with full comp (RSUs, base salary, bonus) is well above Seattle averages for a controller. You say you work
in finance, but salary comparison is more in the world of HR/People than finance so I'm not sure where you are getting your data. And yeh, I have access to that stuff too. Again, Amazon pays higher than average for most positions. Are they at the top? No, but especially with RSUs in key positions it's pretty great. And just because another company could pay more doesn't mean you can get a job there.
