Growing Rapidly: SOLE Financial Promotes Dawn Koenninger to CFO

PORTLAND, Ore., February 1, 2018 (Newswire.com) - SOLE Financial has promoted Dawn Koenninger to Chief Financial Officer. Koenninger will be pioneering the CFO role for SOLE Financial, further staffing SOLE’s executive team with financial services veterans. She will be responsible for mitigating risk to the company’s continued growth, driving regulatory compliance and managing long-term financial strategy.

Koenninger was a natural fit for the role, but in a corporate world where only 13 percent of CFOs are women, her promotion also marks a small step toward an important goal of equity in business. Inclusivity is a company value at SOLE that plays a key role in the hiring process.

Dawn's global perspective on how businesses operate, from startups to large corporations, combined with her Big 4 audit experience, and most of all, her unparalleled integrity, make her uniquely qualified to be SOLE's CFO.

In her position as VP of Finance, Koenninger was instrumental in positioning SOLE to become a highly valuable and profitable payroll card provider. Rick Holt, CEO, said of Koenninger’s experience, “Dawn’s global perspective on how businesses operate, from startups to large corporations, combined with her Big 4 audit experience, and most of all, her unparalleled integrity, make her uniquely qualified to be SOLE’s CFO. To capitalize on the value she brings in managing our company’s financial health, especially in our current heavy growth phase, it was essential that we elevate her role.”

Koenninger brings with her 26 years of experience in accounting and finance, 14 of which have been with SOLE, after holding positions as Controller and Senior Auditor for various international ATM network companies and a "Big 4" accounting firm. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Portland State University.
