As an early member of our world class finance team, you’ll have a significant role in rebuilding our country’s most important and most broken industry from first principles. You’ll be responsible for helping to drive implementation and maintenance of key accounting policies (e.g., revenue recognition, procurement, payroll, lease accounting) while working to streamline and scale Forward’s accounting operations.

Own accounting processes, including but not limited to AP, AR, and payroll
Prepare bank reconciliation and other account reconciliations
Assist in selecting and onboarding Finance and Accounting tools to assist in reporting, payroll, order to cash, procure to pay, and more
Perform reviews to guarantee accuracy and compliance with GAAP and ensure we are ready for our first-year external audit
Work on ad-hoc accounting and finance projects

You Are:

Impact-Driven - You’re deeply mission-driven, and you think there’s more to life than software that enables puppy ears to be superimposed in photos. (Although we concede those are cute.)
A Problem Solver - You love breaking down highly complex problems into their easily explainable building blocks.
Detail-Oriented - You have exceptional organizational skills and enjoy diving into operational processes.
Scrappy - You’re a hustler who will get your hands dirty and protect your builders at every turn.
A leader - You’re kind, collaborative and humble. Teams want to be in the trenches with you, and to build something great by your side.
