SOLIT FINANCE

What SOLIT FINANCE does

SOLIT FINANCE GmbH is an owner-managed boutique consulting firm headquartered in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, founded in 2010 to serve the German banking, finance, and public sectors. The firm is structured around two Managing Directors (Frank Braun and Kurt Jungnitsch) with deep involvement of a senior consulting team (Jurgen C. Pfitzner, Annika Rex, Irene Greuel), and operates an asset-light network model that flexes specialist resources into client engagements on demand. With 51-100 employees and 1,000+ projects delivered over 13 years, SOLIT FINANCE combines consulting, specialist staffing, executive search, and training into a single integrated offering targeted at decision-makers in financial institutions and government entities.

The firm's service portfolio is branded as smartSolutions, comprising six core lines: smartSourcing (project and specialist staffing for banking and finance projects), smartProcessing (process optimization via BPM, Process Mining, RPA/IPA), smartSearch/Direct Search (executive and professional recruitment without reliance on candidate pools), smartChange (organizational change management in distributed environments), smartDigital (digital resilience ecosystems), and smartStaff(ing) (talent development). The NET ACADEMY sub-brand delivers training, workshops, and coaching. Technology is leveraged rather than built in-house: the firm references BPMN 2.0, LowCode/NoCode platforms, Digital Twin simulations, and integrates partner-supplied tooling such as Ceyoniq's eAkte document management (including eAkte NRW and eAkte Berlin) and platform3l's AI-enabled self-regulated learning platform.

SOLIT FINANCE generates revenue through professional-services fees across three streams: Project Services (project and test managers, IT specialists, business analysts, change specialists delivered through Open Book, Services on Demand, and Fixed Price models), Direct Search/Staffing (executive and specialist recruitment), and NET ACADEMY training. Go-to-market is sales-led with direct enterprise engagement by the Managing Directors and senior sales leadership, complemented by thought-leadership content (Zeitschrift fur das gesamte KREDITWESEN, Finno Magazine series, website articles on DORA and digitalization) and professional networks (LinkedIn, Xing). The firm sells into two primary verticals - Banking and Finance (Private Sector) and Public Sector (government, municipalities, eGovernment/Smart City) - primarily in Germany with stated DACH-region market scope. The firm is also pursuing sustainability accreditations (DNK, LkSG, CSR-RUG) that align with emerging advisory demand tied to ESG regulation.
