What are the responsibilities and job description for the Accounting Associate position at Synergy Search?
The Opportunity
Synergy Search is conducting a confidential search for an Accounting Associate on behalf of a well established, growing organization. You will sit at the center of how payments move through the business, in a role being reshaped into a true operations seat.
If you like owning a busy desk, solving complex payment puzzles, and building a long term career, this is the seat.
Why This Role Stands Out
• A proven path up. A past holder of this seat now sits in senior leadership.
• Shape the role. Help build the processes, not just follow them.
• A team people stay on. High retention, strong culture, and real training.
• Strong benefits. Family medical, paid parental leave, and a 401(k) with immediate vesting.
What You Will Own
• Manage the shared accounting inbox and daily payment flow
• Process checks, ACHs, and wires
• Handle payment splits and allocations across locations and departments
• Reconcile and remit to partners accurately and on time
• Resolve billing discrepancies with client facing teams
• Analyze system reports in Excel
What You Need
• 2 years in accounting operations, payments, or AP beyond basic invoice entry
• Experience with payment splits, allocations, or multi party reconciliations
• Strong Excel skills, including pivot tables
• Looking for a long term home and career path
Good to Know
• Fully in office for the first 3 months, then hybrid with 3 days in office
