Accounting and Finance Intern

Fusion Genomics can play a key role in combating COVID-19 and future pandemics. The intern can play a key role in ensuring that the company succeeds and is financially sustainable. The advantages that the company’s products can provide in combatting pandemics are:
• The company’s test can provide early detection of novel pathogens and thus enable authorities to prevent outbreaks turning into pandemics.
• New tests do not need to be developed as the company’s test can detect multiple diseases and work on novel pathogens.
• The company’s test seldom gives false positive or false negative results.
• Genetic analysis, provided by the test, can be used to identify the virus spread and source.
Fusion Genomics is in the process of raising a Series-A to bring its product to the market. It is in discussions with a number of VCs and anticipates closing the funding in the first half of 2021. The Accounting and Finance Analyst intern
will assist the CEO and CFO in raising the funding and in preparing the company to undergo due diligence. This work will be a key factor in closing the funding.
