Senior Accountant

WHO WE ARE

As the rate of diagnosed autism cases increases, the ability to provide care has stagnated. Currently, autism support via Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is difficult to access, thus leading to long wait lists. Forta is clearing the path to quality healthcare by delivering routes to the best possible outcomes with the utmost convenience.

At Forta, we are reinventing how we deliver ABA support so families can get the care they need, without long waitlists. Our ABA Parent Training Course empowers families to work directly with BCBAs to deliver quality, certified care. We’re also improving the future of the ABA experience for families by creating software and predictive algorithms that help clinicians work smarter with the latest and most effective care knowledge.

We are looking for you! A driven, reliable, innovative, and patient-focused individual to join our team as we reinvent the care and tools available to neuro-diverse families
