Josh Volinsky

Josh Volinsky is a former CPA turned nationally recognized recruiting leader with nearly two decades of experience placing top finance and accounting talent, from Staff Accountants through CFOs. His mix of technical depth and sharp recruiting instincts has made him one of the industry's most trusted advisors and top producers. Josh is also a member of The Pinnacle Society, a select group of elite recruiters.

Before launching Synergy Search in 2020, Josh earned Chairman’s Club honors at a global staffing firm for both individual production and team leadership, a recognition reserved for the top performers worldwide. He also set the record for the highest revenue-producing month in the company’s history.

Josh’s edge comes from his background. After earning his CPA and starting his career in public accounting, he moved into recruiting in 2007. That hands-on experience gives him a rare ability to truly understand the roles he fills and the people behind them. 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 Western New York native and University at Buffalo graduate, Josh now lives outside Baltimore with his wife and two sons. He’s a die-hard Buffalo Bills fan who still believes every season might finally be the one.
