Josh Volinsky is a former CPA turned nationally recognized recruiting leader, with nearly two decades of experience placing top-tier finance and accounting talent—from Staff Accountants to CFOs. Known for his unique blend of technical expertise and sharp recruiting instincts, Josh has built a reputation as one of the industry’s top producers and trusted advisors.

Before launching Synergy Search in 2020, Josh earned Chairman’s Club honors at a global staffing firm for both individual production and team leadership—an award reserved for the top performers

worldwide. He also held the record for the highest revenue-producing month in the company’s history.

Josh’s edge lies in his background. After earning his CPA and starting his career in public accounting, he transitioned into recruiting in 2007. That firsthand experience gives him a rare ability to deeply understand the roles he fills—and the people who fill them. His clients and candidates often say, “Josh just gets it.”

At Synergy Search, he leads a team made up entirely of former accountants and finance professionals, delivering high-impact placements across industries with a focus on trust, transparency, and long-term results.

A native of Western New York and graduate of the University at Buffalo, Josh now lives outside of Baltimore, Maryland with his wife and two sons. He remains a die-hard Buffalo Bills fan and continues to believe that this could be the year.
