You’re Never too old to enjoy a Saving!

Hi  Roy,
I hope you are enjoying your weekend.  I wanted to try to catch you as we begin a new week as my team is representing a few strong CFO’s in the Nashville area and thought it made sense for us to connect.  I do not know if you have any needs at this, or other levels within the accounting function, but my team has made a major impact for several organizations in the area and I wanted to introduce myself. 
CFO Profile:

CPA that started their career with PWC (clients in a variety of industries including Manufacturing, Distribution, Healthcare)
Progressed his way up in corporate accounting function with 2 different organizations and is now CFO at a Private Equity owned organization
Built and manages a team of 8 people and reports directly to the CEO.
Lead a successful system conversion from QuickBooks to NetSuite.
Revamped the financial reporting package produced to the CEO and Board, completely upgraded the operational analysis used to make business decisions, and integrated 2 acquisitions into the organization. 
During his tenure, organization grew from $45mm to 135mm over 4 years. 
CFO is comfortable in a hands-on leadership role and is incredibly well-respected in the region.

If this candidate is not a profile that you need, but there may be something else I can find for you, please respond back and we can schedule a confidential call. 
I have spent the last 14 years as one of the top producers globally at a Fortune 500 Staffing firm before branching off with a few other top producers to form Synergy Search. We are specifically working in the Nashville market. We have over 37 years of combined experience, all started our careers in public accounting prior to transitioning to staffing and are solely focused on placing candidates in Corporate Accounting, Finance, and Public Accounting. We also specialize in HR as it is a natural fit based on our relationships and experience. I would be honored if you checked out the client testimonials on our website (www.SynergySearch.com), partner bios and LinkedIn profiles to give you a better sense of who we are. I hope you have a nice Sunday and welcome response back to set up a time to speak.

Thanksgiving 2020 feels a bit different this year. 2020 has blindsided all of us, challenged all of us, and hopefully been a year of growth for all of us. Despite its immense challenges, 2020 allowed the Synergy team to finally realize our dream of entrepreneurship and to create value for our clients and candidates!

Synergy Search is especially thankful this year for our Director of Recruitment, Cara Stevenson for seeing our vision and helping to make it so successful. We are also thankful to our many clients and candidates that we have been able to forge long–term relationships with. We know you have many choices when it comes to staffing and recruiting, and our team never takes the opportunity and responsibility lightly.

Enjoy your time with those you love these next few days, and you can count on Synergy Search to be right back to work for you on Monday.

Hi Roy,
Eight months ago, my partners and I made our first phone call into Nashville.

We had no idea if we would receive a return call, if we would be able to help place a single candidate or if we would be completely written off.

All we knew was we had a dream, a vision and a major opportunity.

Last week, as the team has doubled, we celebrated a major revenue milestone the only way you would want us to, with a rooftop bar hop around town.

Thank you for embracing the Synergy Search family with open arms and allowing myself and my team the opportunity to pursue our dreams.
