Description
ABOUT US Forus is building an AI-powered network that connects doctors, pharmacies, payers, and biopharma to accelerate new science to patients. Our platform automates the complexity between a doctor prescribing a medicine and a patient starting treatment, including insurance coverage, financial assistance, and supply chain navigation. We provide this support free to doctors and patients, helping them get life-changing medicine faster, cheaper, and easier. The resulting network enables biopharma companies to design better research, launch new drugs more effectively, and invest in harder-to-treat conditions. Forus has exceptional product-market fit and is growing rapidly through organic adoption: - Accelerating scale: We already support patients across more than 80% of ZIP codes and partner with 5 of the 10 largest biopharma companies in the world. - AI-native, durable model: Our business becomes stronger as AI improves, as every new doctor, patient, and partner makes the network more valuable. - Backing to build for the long term: We raised $160M+ from leading investors to build an exceptional team and unlock the full scale of the opportunity. Our number one priority is scaling to market demand. We are looking for individuals who are high horsepower, high throughput, and hyper resourceful to help us increase capacity and grow. We move fast and need to move faster. If we succeed, science will be the only limit to medicine. All full-time roles are in person in New York. ABOUT THE ROLE As our first dedicated accounting hire, you will own how Forus closes the books, reports financials, and builds the systems and controls that strengthen our financial foundation as we scale. The foundation you build is what lets Forus scale its provider network and commercial partnerships on numbers that leadership, auditors, and partners can trust. You will run the close, own the General Ledger, manage technical accounting, implement controls, and engage directly with auditors and external partners. You will help architect the function itself: advancing our tools, designing the processes, and setting the standards that the team will inherit as we grow. We are a small and nimble finance team, and this role is for someone energized by doing the work and shaping how it gets done. This is a demanding role, with a high level of autonomy and responsibility. You will be expected to "act like an owner" and commit yourself to Forus' success. If you are low-ego, hungry to learn, and excited about intense, impactful work that drives both company growth and accelerated career progression, we want to hear from you. IF YOU JOIN, YOU WILL: - Own core accounting operations end-to-end, including monthly close, GL, AP/AR, payroll, tax, and technical accounting, and set the cadence that delivers accurate, timely financials - Design and document the controls, policies, and processes of a best-in-class accounting function, building infrastructure the team can inherit as we grow - Drive technical accounting decisions across revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, multi-entity reporting, and capitalization policies - Evaluate and implement the tools and systems (ERP, AP/AR, payroll, and adjacent platforms) that scale with the demands of the business - Partner with Strategic Finance to produce the monthly reporting package, board materials, and investor reporting - Work with Legal and Operations to structure contracts, pricing, and financial controls that hold up as the business scales WE’RE LOOKING FOR YOU IF YOU HAVE: - 5–10 years of accounting experience, including Big 4 or equivalent audit experience - Demonstrated experience implementing modern financial systems and ERPs — QuickBooks, NetSuite, Ramp, Bill, Rippling, or similar — with informed opinions about what fits at our stage versus the next one - Deep working knowledge of US GAAP, financial controls, and technical accounting - Excellent written and v
