Strategic Finance Associate

Solace

Redwood City, CA

Solace is a healthcare advocacy marketplace that connects patients and families to experts who help them understand and take charge of their personal health
About The Role
As a Strategic Finance Associate at Solace, you’ll be the finance team’s high-output utility player. You’ll be the one we trust to take ambiguous, high-priority problems and turn them into clean answers, shipped deliverables, and real momentum. One week you’re building a model to evaluate a new initiative. The next you’re tightening reporting for investors. Then you’re partnering with operations to diagnose a unit economics drift that nobody else has fully clocked yet.
Yyou’ll support whatever the finance org needs most, and you’ll learn the business faster than you thought was possible because you’ll be in the middle of everything.
This individual contributor role is for the ambitious, the curious, and those who don’t shy away from feedback. This is a unique opportunity as an early Strategic Finance hire, with direct visibility to our CFO.
This job is a hybrid role with the in-office portion in Redwood City, CA, 3 days a week.
About Solace
Healthcare in the U.S. is fundamentally broken. The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate it without help. Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare by pairing patients with expert advocates and giving them the tools to make better decisions—and get better outcomes.
We're a Series B startup, founded in 2022 and backed by Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, Torch Capital, Menlo Ventures, and Signalfire. Our U.S. team is lean, mission-driven, and growing quickly.
Solace isn't a place to coast. We're here to redefine healthcare—and that demands urgency, precision, and heart. If you're looking to stretch yourself, sharpen your edge, and do the best work of your life alongside a team that cares deeply, you're in the right place. We’re intense, and we like it that way.

What You’ll Do
Your work will be wide-ranging, and it will matter. Expect variety, speed, and real ownership.
Strategic Analysis & Modeling: Build models to evaluate new products, pricing, partnerships, and operational initiatives. Translate messy assumptions into clear outputs and decision-ready recommendations.
Finance “Special Projects”: Take on whatever is highest priority across the finance org—ad hoc analysis, process fixes, investor asks, diligence support, and internal tooling. If it’s important and time-sensitive, it’s probably yours.
Performance & KPI Reporting: Help maintain the reporting cadence across key business metrics—revenue, gross margin, unit economics, burn/runway, and operational performance. Improve signal quality and reduce noise.
Cross-Functional Problem Solving: Partner with leaders across Solace to answer questions like: What’s driving this trend? What’s the tradeoff? What’s the simplest plan that actually works?
Board & Investor Support: Support board materials, investor updates, and fundraising/diligence workflows. Ensure the data is clean, the story is coherent, and the answers are tight.
Accounting & Close Partnership: Work alongside our outsourced accounting firm and internal stakeholders to support close-related requests, reporting integrity, and clean handoffs between accounting and finance.
Automation & Systems: Build lightweight automation into finance workflows. Reduce manual work. Increase accuracy. Make repeatable processes feel inevitable.
Bring innovative ideas—and bring them to life.
Be autonomous. You’ll own your work end-to-end, take responsibility for details, and follow through without being chased.
Rapidly produce and launch concepts while laughing in the face of potential failure.
What You Bring to the Table
A bias toward action and execution. You don’t “work on” things—you finish them.
Comfort with ambiguity and a refined palate for controlled chaos. You can walk into a fuzzy problem and leave with a crisp output.
Strong analytical skills. You’re excellent in spreadsheets, rigorous with numbers, and thoughtful about assumptions.
Great communication. You can write clearly, summarize cleanly, and present an answer without hiding behind jargon.
High ownership and low ego. You’ll do the unglamorous work when needed, and you’ll do it well.
No job too big or too small.
2+ years of relevant experience in Investment Banking, Consulting, Private Equity, corporate strategy, or Strategic Finance at a high-performance startup (or equivalent).
Applicants must be based in the United States.
Up for the Challenge?
We look forward to meeting you.
