We are seeking a dynamic and results-oriented Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for our software growth-through-acquisition holding company. The ideal candidate will lead equity and debt capitalization efforts, drive productivity improvements within the finance team, and ensure operational excellence across portfolio companies. This individual will support M&A activities, enhance strategic finance capabilities, and establish a high-performing finance and accounting function. About you:
At Solen, Day 1 of a journey that will last decades. This is an opportunity to be a crucial member of the Solen team—managing the mission-critical aspect of the business: You should have prior experience in software businesses (especially B2B SaaS or vertical market software), demonstrate strong knowledge of financial operations, and thrive where the Finance core capabilities are still being built. You should be scrappy, decisive, and thrive in lean settings—able to provide oversight without over-engineering and to scale finance intelligently without bloated systems. The role reports directly to the CEO and works closely with the Director of Finance.
Key Responsibilities
Financial Strategy & Capital Allocation
Develop and oversee the financial strategy to support growth (organic and M&A). Optimize capital allocation across the portfolio. Partner with the CEO and board to advise on investment decisions, debt structures, return thresholds, and negotiate on the company’s behalf. Prioritize internal reinvestment, bolt-on acquisitions, and dividend policy. Identify and execute financing strategies to support growth and acquisitions, including non-dilutive funding options, seller financing, structured earn-outs, revenue-based financing, government grants, and strategic partnerships. Leverage knowledge of capital markets and alternative funding sources to reduce cost of capital and maintain balance sheet flexibility, while aligning with return expectations.
Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A)
Lead forecasting, budgeting, and long-range planning across multiple business units. Track KPIs and unit economics at the company and portfolio level. Provide financial modeling and scenario analysis to guide strategic decisions.
Operational Finance
Implement scalable financial processes and systems across all portfolio companies. Drive standardization and automation (monthly/quarterly close, reporting packages, dashboards). Ensure cost control, margin optimization, and working capital efficiency. Collaborate with Operations to identify and address financial health issues and propose solutions.
M&A and Post-Acquisition Integration
Lead due diligence, valuation modeling, and risk analysis for new acquisitions. Work with business development to structure deals and assess ROI. Oversee post-acquisition financial integration, including reporting harmonization and synergies.
Governance, Reporting & Compliance
Oversee timely and accurate financial and management reporting for internal and external stakeholders. Establish internal controls to safeguard assets, ensure data integrity, and support audit readiness. Ensure compliance with financial regulations, tax laws, governance standards, and industry requirements (GAAP, IFRS, SOX, local jurisdictions). Coordinate annual external audits, tax filings, and regulatory reviews. Serve as liaison with external auditors, tax advisors, legal counsel, and other compliance stakeholders. Develop and enforce policies and procedures for financial accountability, risk mitigation, and ethical conduct. Manage equity ownership tracking and quarterly shareholder report processes. Oversee tax obligations, stay current on tax laws, and optimize tax positions in collaboration with external advisors.
Portfolio Support & Performance Management
Act as a strategic partner to portfolio company leadership. Set and monitor financial goals and KPIs for each operating company. Provide hands-on support in pricing, customer profitability, cost optimization, and financial turnarounds.
Team Leadership
Build and mentor high-performing finance teams at corporate and portfolio levels. Foster a culture of ownership, data-driven decision-making, and continuous improvement.
