Job Title: Controller
Company: Solen Software Group
Location: Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
Employment Type: Full-time (on-site)
About Solen Software Group

Solen Software Group is an evergreen holding company that acquires and operates proven software businesses that have significant growth potential in a variety of vertical markets, enabling them to be market leaders in their niche industry. Solen owns several software companies in various market spaces: Human Resources Technology, Fleet Telematics, Asset Management, E-Health, Document Management, and other innovative software solutions in a variety of industries. Solen is backed by a group of advisors and investors that have built software businesses of material scale (10-100M in ARR) and advised many.
About the role

As Controller, you own the close and the books across Solen's growing portfolio of software companies. Every month, you run consolidation across multiple entities and currencies, sign off on the numbers HQ and our investors see, and decide where the accounting stack needs to flex as new acquisitions come in. When the M&A team closes a deal, you're the person who decides how it gets stitched into the chart of accounts and how its first close gets run. This is a technical, hands-on, build-as-you-go role.
• 17+ software companies across HR tech, fleet telematics, asset management, e-health, and document management - and your numbers tell the story of all of them.
• Sit at the center of the reporting flow: every consolidated statement, every PE roll-up report, every bank deliverable runs through your hands.
• Partner directly with the Group Head of Finance on how Solen's finance infrastructure scales from here.
• Join a culture-first, Great Place to Work-certified organization that values impact and collaboration.

The successful candidate will work from Solen's office in Salt Lake City, Utah / on-site.

Key Responsibilities

Close & Consolidation
• Own monthly, quarterly, and annual close across multiple entities and currencies. Enforce the calendar, cut-offs, and review standards - close lands clean and on time every cycle.
• Lead multi-entity, multi-currency consolidations end-to-end. Manage intercompany transactions, settlements, and eliminations.
• Review and approve journal entries, reconciliations, and key accounting judgments.
• Ensure GL, balance sheet, and income statement accuracy across every entity in the platform.

Scaling the Accounting Stack
• Own the chart of accounts, dimensional structures, and reporting mappings - including the integration to Power BI.
• When M&A closes a new acquisition, decide how it gets onboarded into the accounting structure and how its first close gets run.
• Design scalable accounting processes that absorb new entities without breaking the close.

Controls, Audit & Compliance
• Design and maintain internal controls appropriate for a growing PE-backed platform.
• Serve as primary owner for audit, tax, and regulatory coordination.
• Ensure compliance with US GAAP and/or IFRS and firm-wide policies.
• Surface risks early and implement corrective actions before they become audit findings.

Reporting
• Prepare consolidated financial statements for management and stakeholders.
• Support PE reporting requirements, including roll-up visibility and comparability across the portfolio.
• Support Board materials, bank reporting, and external financial reporting.

Working with HQ and Operating Companies
• Partner with Group Finance on post-acquisition integration - from day-one close to steady-state.
• Manage and mentor OpCo accounting team members; serve as the technical accounting reference point for portfolio CFOs and controllers.

Key Requirements
• Active CPA license.
• 3-5+ years in Senior Accountant, Controller, or equivalent roles. Has run a full close cycle end-to-end and signed their name to the numbers.
• Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and/or IFRS - can navigate revenue recognition, business combinations, and intercompany without reaching for a checklist.
• Demonstrated expertise in Sage Intacct, including multi-entity and multi-currency consolidations.
• Experience in private equity roll-ups, fund accounting, or high-growth environments - comfortable when the structure changes every quarter.
• Advanced Excel modeling. Can build a roll-up from scratch and explain it to someone who doesn't read accounting.
• Writes clearly under deadline. When an audit committee or investor asks a question, can turn a messy reconciliation into a one-page answer.
• Operates effectively under ambiguity - new entity onboards, mid-month policy changes, unclear ownership of a balance - without stalling.
• Legally authorized to work in the United States.

Nice to Have
• Working knowledge of Power BI.
• Prior people management experience.
• Direct exposure to post-acquisition integration and scaling finance teams.

The expected salary for this position is: $[insert] USD. Salary is based on a number of factors including market conditions, location, and may vary depending on job-related skills and experience.

Solen-isms (How We Operate)
• Ownership Mindset: We own the mission. We don't wait to be told. We lead, fix, and build as if it were ours. When problems arise, we run toward them, not away.
• Benchmark to Best: We seek out excellence. We measure ourselves against the best and adapt quickly, always looking for the edge that moves us forward.
• Openly Self-Critical: Leaders go first: they surface their misses early, ask for direct feedback, and turn "game film" into better decisions and better systems.
• Disagree & Commit: Leaders disagree openly and constructively, regardless of title or tenure, because truth is how we avoid bureaucracy and benchmark to best.
• Figureitoutiveness: Embracing challenges, fostering growth, and taking initiative, leaders thrive on hard work and high failure tolerance.
• Mutual Elevation: Committed to growth, elevating teams, developing future leaders, and removing barriers to mastery and joy.
• Learn-it-alls: Learn-it-alls, not know-it-alls, embracing failure as part of growth and progress.
• Pioneering: Pioneering driven by opportunity, using first principles thinking and unbound by tradition or rules.
• Will to Win: Leaders relentlessly pursue potential, reject mediocrity, and get what they tolerate.
• Dialectical: We learn through conversation. We ask, listen, question, and evolve - valuing disagreement as a tool for alignment and deeper understanding.
• Frugality: Achieving more with less, focusing on quality, long-term value, and company-wide responsibility.
• Candor: We communicate with integrity, transparency, and respect in all conversations.
• Kaizen: Kaizen is continuous improvement as a way of life. Leaders make hundreds of small upgrades that compound, turning lessons into standards and standards into durable systems.
