Employee Spotlight: Sherry Salimi, Project Accountant at FORMA
For Sherry Salimi, home is something you build through relationships, steady work, and the confidence that comes from finding the right fit. Sherry moved to the United States 10 years ago. After settling in, forming close friendships, and building her career, she can now say she truly calls San Francisco home.
Sherry is drawn to construction accounting because it’s never one-size-fits-all. “I found construction accounting so unique because it challenges me to apply my knowledge and skills,” she says. That blend of structure and problem-solving is exactly what she brings to her role at FORMA. Since January 2026, Sherry has been handling operational accounting tasks, supporting the business’s daily operations with consistency, accuracy, and follow-through.
Ask Sherry to describe the FORMA vibe, and her answer is telling: friendly and inviting, motivating and inspiring, calm and balanced. It’s the kind of environment where effort is noticed, which matters to her. What she enjoys most, she says, is working with people who acknowledge and appreciate the work you put in, and being part of a team that values collaboration.
Sherry is also energized by FORMA’s commitment to innovation and continuous improvement. She values workplaces that encourage new ideas and make growth part of the mission, and she sees that mindset in action across the company. “The mix of forward-thinking ideas and a team environment is what makes this company unique,” she says.
Outside of work, Sherry keeps it simple: she loves socializing with friends, and her favorite place she’s visited is Barcelona, Spain. A fun surprise? She enjoys playing pool and would love to learn Spanish (and, as she puts it, finally learn to ride a bike!)
At FORMA, Sherry brings care, clarity, and steady momentum to the behind-the-scenes work that keeps projects running smoothly, supporting a culture where people feel seen, ideas keep evolving, and the team keeps moving forward.
