About the Role

The Finance Integration Lead is a high-impact, cross-functional role at the intersection of M&A, accounting, and systems implementation. You will be the primary point of accountability for integrating newly acquired businesses into Solen's financial infrastructure — Sage Intacct, Ramp, Paystand, and our payroll platforms — ensuring each entity meets group standards for reporting, accounting, and controls within defined timelines.

Key Responsibilities

Acquisition Onboarding & Systems Integration

• Lead end-to-end financial integration of newly acquired companies, from closing through steady-state operations

• Execute integration of each entity onto Sage Intacct (ERP), including chart of accounts alignment, intercompany setup, and consolidation configuration

• Onboard acquired entities to Ramp for corporate spend management, card issuance, and policy enforcement

• Implement Paystand for accounts receivable, digital payments, and billing automation within each portfolio company

• Coordinate payroll integration — mapping acquired company payroll data, providers, and cycles into the group's approved payroll framework

• Build and maintain integration playbooks and checklists to reduce friction and accelerate onboarding timelines with each successive acquisition

Accounting & Reporting Standardization

• Align each acquired entity's chart of accounts, revenue recognition policies, accrual methods, and close processes to Solen group standards

• Establish and enforce a standard monthly close calendar across all portfolio companies

• Work with the Director (HO) of Control & Accounting to ensure each entity is reporting-ready within 60–90 days of acquisition close

• Identify and remediate accounting gaps or legacy practices that do not meet group policy

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with the M&A team during due diligence to assess financial systems, processes, and integration complexity

• Serve as the primary finance contact for acquired company founders and operators during the integration window

• Collaborate with IT and operations on system access, data migration, and security provisioning

• Coordinate with legal and HR on payroll jurisdiction setup, benefit plan transitions, and compliance requirements

Continuous Improvement

• Continuously refine the integration playbook based on lessons learned from each acquisition

• Track and report on integration of KPIs (time-to-integrate, system go-live dates, close readiness)

• Identify opportunities to leverage technology — including automation and AI tooling — to accelerate integration workflows

Key Requirements to succeed

• 5+ years of experience in finance, accounting, or FP&A, with at least 2 years in a systems integration or implementation role

• Hands-on experience with Sage Intacct — implementation, configuration, or multi-entity management
