Job description

Headquartered in Boston, Forward Financing has been recognized as a Best Place to Work by the Boston Business Journal and Built In Boston and is certified as a Great Place to Work.® At Forward, we believe every business deserves financial opportunity. That’s why we provide fast, flexible capital to small businesses that have often been underserved by traditional financing options. Our mission is to build a world-class fintech company so our customers and people can reach their full potential. We’re investing in our employees, technology, and customer experience – with long-term success in mind every step of the way.

As an Accounting Assistant, you will work as part of the accounting team to ensure Forward Financing is providing the highest-level customer service to its small business customers by confirming amounts being funded are in accordance with contractual terms, reconciling internal applications, and ensuring collections received are applied and accurately reflected on customer accounts. Additionally, you will assist the accounting team in processing accounts payable and purchase requests. You will report to the Accounting Manager and will collaborate frequently with our Sales and Account Servicing Teams. 

Once training is complete, the working hours for this position will be 11am-8pm EST. 

In this role you will:
  • Review and release daily funding to small business customers.
  • Identify and apply cash payments.
  • Investigate discrepancies and payments rejections.
  • Verify and reconcile internal applications on a daily basis to ensure the total funding agrees to Salesforce.
  • Work on Operational projects as they arise.
  • Prove support for Collections and Sales teams as needed.
  • Assist in accounts payable and purchasing processes.
  • Assist the senior accounting assistants with tasks related to month-end close  
  • Prepare reporting for the accounting manager.
Why you should apply:
  • Dynamic Team Culture:  There is a lot of camaraderie and support on this team, and the job will offer a great opportunity to make your mark and grow together with the company.
  • Mission driven company: Forward is a trusted source of fast, flexible funding for small businesses that have often been underserved by traditional financing options. When you join the team, you will help ensure all small businesses have access to the financial support they need to succeed.
  • Flexibility is a top priority: Our employees are empowered to choose where they want to work (whether that’s from home, in the office, or a combination of both) with flexible hours.
Role Requirements:

(Even if you don’t check every box, but see yourself contributing, please apply.)

  • 1+ years of related experience, preferably in a fast-paced and dynamic environment
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Highly detail-oriented and comfortable working with daily deadlines.
  • Available to work overtime as the need arises. 
Forward Financing Core Values:
  • Drive the Mission - We believe in financial opportunity for underserved small businesses. We say “yes” when others say “no.”
  • Keep It Real - We value direct communication, candid feedback, and authenticity. We are an open book.
  • Act With Kindness - We create an environment where caring is cool and helping is the norm. We do the right thing.
  • Shoot for Extraordinary - We are inspired by innovative thinking and continuous improvement. We never settle for yesterday’s best.
About Us:

Forward Financing is a fintech company headquartered in Boston that provides fast, flexible, and reliable capital to small businesses nationwide. Since 2012, Forward has provided over $3.2 billion in financing to more than 67,000 small businesses. Forward has been consistently named by the Boston Business Journal and Built In Boston (and more!) as one of the best places to work in Massachusetts.

Forward actively promotes a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion in all we do. We encourage a workplace where trust and respect are paramount and all employees feel valued, heard, and accepted. By accepting diversity of thought, background, and identity, we will continue to become a stronger team and a better organization.

Our diverse and driven group of over 460 people, with more than 200 based in the U.S., and 260 internationally, is a 100% employee-owned company. Our employees come to work (or log on virtually!) knowing they are helping thousands of small businesses while advancing their own careers. If this sounds exciting to you, learn more about our leadership team and our open opportunities.

Perks & Benefits:

At Forward, our team members are at the heart of our company, and we are committed to taking care of them as people, not just employees. We offer a comprehensive benefits package including but not limited to: medical, dental, vision, and commuter benefits, a flexible time-off policy, 401k match, wellness reimbursement, paid volunteering days, annual professional development budget, and charitable donation match.

At Forward, employee choice means each individual gets to decide where they work. Almost all team members have the choice of where to live and where to work. As a business, we are focused on impact; we are more concerned with your contributions to the success of the company than where you get your work done. If face-to-face time is desired, people managers are empowered to find a cadence that works for their team. 

When we aren’t collaborating to drive business and support our customers, we’re finding virtual and in-person ways to get to know our colleagues, celebrate team wins, and have fun together!
