ABOUT VALSOFT CORP.
Established in Canada in 2015, Valsoft has grown to a global portfolio of 118+ companies, acquiring and developing vertical market software companies, enabling each business to deliver the best mission-critical solutions for customers in their respective industries. A key tenet of Valsoft’s philosophy is to invest in well-established businesses and foster an entrepreneurial environment that molds companies into leaders in their respective industries. Valsoft looks to buy, hold, and create value through long-term partnerships with existing management.
INVESTMENT APPROACH
Unlike private equity and venture capital firms, we are entrepreneurs who buy, enhance, and grow software businesses. That’s right — we don’t sell businesses. We form a strategic alliance with existing management teams. We recognize the dedication and perseverance required to build a business and prioritize the well-being of customers and employees over short-term results.
CULTURE
Valsoft is more than just a place to work — we’re a team. We mean it when we say people are our greatest assets, so investing in them is our number one priority. We foster an environment where employees feel first-day-on-the-job excitement every day. We celebrate wins, dream big, stay humble, and stay hungry.
JOB DESCRIPTION
Valsoft is seeking a talented, versatile, and entrepreneurial Senior M&A Associate to drive our continued global expansion. In this role, you will be responsible for sourcing and executing software acquisitions across diverse verticals, working end-to-end from origination to close.
You will be a full-cycle M&A professional with the charisma and salesmanship to engage business owners and brokers, coupled with the analytical and financial expertise to execute due diligence and close deals. This role offers a unique opportunity to invest large amounts of capital quickly — and the platform to eventually build, grow, and lead your own M&A team.
If you're driven by deals, energized by entrepreneurship, and want to join one of the most acquisitive software companies in the world, this could be the perfect role for you.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
-
Identify M&A targets that align with Valsoft's growth objectives, aiming to generate $200M+ in buyable revenue opportunities per quarter.
-
Employ a proactive approach, reaching out to potential targets through various channels, conducting exploratory calls, and fostering relationships with owners and sell-side advisors.
-
Evaluate and assess target acquisitions against Valsoft's criteria, and determine realistic valuation expectations.
-
Conduct a comprehensive pre-acquisition due diligence encompassing both commercial and financial aspects in collaboration with the Montreal team.
-
Negotiate deal terms, ultimately aiming to achieve $15-20M per year in acquired revenues with the support of the Investment Partner.
-
Perform other related duties as assigned.
-
Supervise, mentor, and support M&A Associates and Interns involved in deal execution and pipeline development
REQUIREMENTS
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Finance, Accounting, Engineering, or another quantitative field
- 3–5 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, M&A, or corporate development
- Strong financial analysis and modeling skills
- Exceptional business development instincts and interpersonal communication
- Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, globally distributed team
- Growth mindset with a strong desire to learn across sectors
- CFA or CIIA designation is an asset
- Experience with vertical market software (VMS) or buy-and-build models is a plus
- Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to build operations in new regions
EMPLOYEE PERKS
- Flexible working schedule
- Unlimited vacation after 1 year
- Annual Wellness Benefit
- Training Reimbursement Program
- Fast-paced career progression and global deal exposure
- Opportunity to grow into a team-building leadership role
