Forward Financing is a financial technology company based in Boston, Massachusetts with team members throughout the United States, Dominican Republic, and Canada. The company is on a mission to unlock the capital that fuels small businesses across America. Recognized as a Best Place to Work by Built In Boston and certified as a Great Place To Work®, Forward is investing in its employees, technology, and customer experience – with long-term success in mind every step of the way.
We are hiring our first dedicated Treasury resource to design and lead the treasury function, manage our structured financing operations, and ensure disciplined, scalable cash and liquidity management across the business. We manage an increasingly complex capital structure that currently includes a warehouse credit facility with top-tier institutional investors, but may also soon include securitizations, forward flow arrangements, and/or corporate notes.
As Treasury Manager, you will report to the CFO and will play a central role in managing the company’s funding and liquidity operations. You’ll be responsible for day-to-day execution across multiple credit facilities and will help scale the function in line with our origination growth primarily of revenue-based financing (RBF), and evolving capital needs. This role requires deep technical knowledge of structured credit in non-traditional lending environments and the ability to build processes, systems, and relationships from the ground up.

Provides fast funding solutions for small businesses
Forward Financing offers fast and flexible funding solutions to small businesses in the United States, focusing on those who may not qualify for traditional bank loans. Their main product is a merchant cash advance, which provides a lump sum of cash in exchange for a percentage of future sales, allowing for quick funding often within 24 hours. Unlike traditional lenders, Forward Financing operates in the alternative lending space, providing a more accessible application process, though at higher fees due to the increased risk. The company's goal is to support small business growth by offering reliable funding while adhering to high ethical standards.
