SolarMente: structuring finance for a fundraising and acquisition

Challenge

Lead an international Series B in an unstable regulatory and macroeconomic environment, while running an acquisition in parallel and building a finance function that did not yet exist at this scale.

Read the SolarMente case in detail
See the use case

Solution

Strategic financial management and complete outsourcing of the finance function. End-to-end management of Series B: multi-scenario financial model with decision triggers, data room, coordination of due diligence, valuation and negotiation of term sheets. Execution of the acquisition of Eltex in 2024, from sourcing to financial integration. Integration of the Stripe, Payhawk, PayFit and Vuala stack. Weekly intervention, participation in management committees and board meetings.

Results

  • Financial preparation for international fundraising
  • Acquisition of Eltex in 2024 and integration of the finance function
  • Multi-scenario model, data room and cash control procedures implemented

The case covers the period 2022–2024. The operations mobilised managers, investors and their advisors. The role described here is that of the financial department; their success cannot be attributed to the support of Iter alone.

Seasonly: manage the margin by channel and finance the WCR

Challenge

Know which channel was really making money, and finance the stock without damaging cash flow.

Read the Seasonly case in detail
See the use case

Solution

P&L modelling by channel — DTC, retail and marketplaces. Inventory management and structuring working capital financing. A weekly dashboard for management and shareholders.

Results

  • Gross margin +8 points
  • P&L by channel, weekly dashboard and WCR financing plan delivered
  • Method: consolidated gross margin for all channels, compared over two equivalent twelve-month periods, before and after the implementation of the P&L by channel.

The published margin change is measured in percentage points on consolidated gross margin across all channels. The comparison covers two equivalent twelve-month periods, before and after the channel P&L was introduced. The calendar dates of those periods are not published. This result is specific to this engagement and is not a forecast for any other company.

Opti Digital: structuring the finance function over time

Challenge

Build a reliable finance function and closing framework while migrating the ERP, without diluting founders to finance growth.

Read the Opti Digital case in detail
See the use case

Solution

Migration of the ERP and complete structuring of the finance function. Support on complex tax and legal subjects, in conjunction with external advice. Obtaining non-dilutive financing. Participation in strategic decisions, with an assumed role of contradictor of the manager.

Results

  • Structured finance function: monthly reporting and closing procedures
  • ERP migration completed
  • Non-dilutive financing obtained, without opening capital
  • Continuous support for five years

The manager's testimony, published on 12 November 2025, describes five years of collaboration to that date. The results on this page remain qualitative: no amount of funding or quantified productivity gain is announced.

“Well beyond a Fractional CFO: ERP migration, financial, tax structuring, non-dilutive financing. A real strategic asset for 5 years.”

Magali Quentel-Reme - CEO and co-founder, Opti Digital
