## About Fora Financial

Fora Financial is a technology enabled, leading provider of flexible financing to small and medium sized businesses. Since our inception in 2008, we have supported more than 55,000 merchants nationwide with over $5 billion of capital used for a variety of purposes, from funding everyday operating expenses to managing cash flow gaps to facilitating business expansion, and much more. Leveraging our proprietary technology, Fora Financial is able to deliver capital to our customers via a streamlined and simple process that can be completed in as little as 24 hours, compared with the weeks or even months it often takes for a business to receive a bank loan.

Over the past eighteen years, Fora Financial has grown from two founders in a small Manhattan workspace to a company of nearly 200 employees. Fora Financial prides itself on being a partner-centric organization, offering a customized funding approach, collaborating with our small-business customers to understand their needs in a dynamic and ever-changing economic environment.

We offer a competitive salary, growth potential, and a casual yet professional hybrid work environment. Located in the heart of midtown Manhattan, you can enjoy lunch downstairs listening to the summer band series or around the corner in Bryant Park. After work, you can hop on a Citi Bike to ride to the Hudson River Park, take a stroll to a show on Broadway or attend an event at Madison Square Garden. Our office sets the stage for our employees’ success and well-being.
