About Fluent Software Group

Fluent Software Group is part of Valsoft Corporation’s family of operating groups, a global leader in acquiring and growing vertical market software companies. We focus on specialized industries where deep expertise truly makes the difference.

At Fluent, we give founders and their teams a forever home, preserving their culture and momentum while unlocking new resources, technology, and proven operational playbooks that fuel sustainable, long-term growth.

The Opportunity : Portfolio Controller

Fluent Software Group is looking for a high-performing, hands-on Portfolio Controller to join our finance team.

Reporting to the Portfolio Head of Finance, you will oversee financial performance across a portfolio of acquired software businesses. You’ll act as both strategic partner and operational leader — driving reporting excellence, strengthening controls, leading integrations, and building scalable finance functions in a decentralized environment.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in acquisition-driven environments and wants direct exposure to M&A, performance improvement, and international operations.

What You’ll Own

Portfolio Financial Performance

  • Lead budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning across portfolio companies
  • Monitor KPIs and financial performance, identifying risks and opportunities
  • Deliver monthly and quarterly business reviews with actionable insights
  • Drive cash flow optimization and profitability improvement initiatives
  • Partner with operational leaders to execute performance enhancement strategies

Financial Reporting & Compliance

  • Own the monthly close process across portfolio entities
  • Ensure timely and accurate monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting
  • Maintain compliance with corporate policies and local statutory requirements
  • Strengthen internal controls while maintaining operational agility
  • Lead statutory audits and support corporate audit processes
  • M&A & Integration

  • Lead financial onboarding and integration of newly acquired businesses
  • Execute ERP implementations, account mapping, and reporting alignment
  • Prepare purchase price allocations and opening balance sheet accounting
  • Identify and remediate accounting policy discrepancies
  • Build first bottom-up forecasts with acquired leadership teams
  • Roll out Fluent and Valsoft KPI frameworks and finance best practices
  • Systems & Process Optimization

  • Support and drive NetSuite rollout initiatives
  • Identify automation opportunities and improve financial systems
  • Enhance reporting processes for scalability and efficiency
  • Team Leadership

  • Develop and mentor decentralized finance teams (Accounting, FP&A, AR, AP)
  • Set clear performance expectations and drive accountability
  • Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement
  • Who You Are

    Qualifications

  • CPA designation required
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or related field
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting / finance experience
  • 1-2+ years of experience managing teams
  • Strong experience in multi-entity financial reporting and internal controls
  • Advanced Excel skills
  • Fluent in English (written and verbal)
  • Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience in M&A or post-acquisition integrations
  • Experience in vertical software or decentralized operating environments
  • Working knowledge of NetSuite or similar ERP systems
  • Experience supporting international entities
  • Why Fluent?

  • High Autonomy, High Impact :  Own your portfolio from Day 1
  • Serious Career Growth :  Exposure to M&A, integration, and scaling global software businesses
  • Learning-Driven Culture :  We invest heavily in talent development
  • Entrepreneurial Energy :  No two days look the same
  • Competitive Offer :  Compensation, health, dental, vision, PTO, and more
  • Team-First Mindset :  Regular events, collaboration, and global connections
  • Join Us!

    Help us scale incredible software companies — without losing their entrepreneurial edge. At Fluent and Valsoft, you’ll make a real impact from Day 1.
