Brian Black, CPA Director of Recruitment

Brian Black joins Synergy Search after nearly a decade in both corporate and public accounting. His background includes extensive experience in tax, as well as the real estate, healthcare and sports industries. This background has provided him a unique perspective of the accounting needs of a diverse set of organizations and Brian is bringing that knowledge to help clients and candidates find the ideal fit.

Brian graduated from The University of Maryland-College Park in December 2013 with a double major in Accounting and Supply Chain Management, and successfully passed the CPA exam in 2016. Outside of recruiting, Brian enjoys talking Baltimore sports, playing baseball and golf, and hanging out with his girlfriend and dog, Buster.

"I highly recommend Synergy Search for anyone looking for their next career move. I had the pleasure of working with Brian Black. He was knowledgable about the industry and my wants and needs for my next role. He did an amazing job at putting me in front of different companies and firms that matched my interests. He was very diligent in continuing to find roles for me. The team at Synergy is a very hard-working group that looks to put the candidate's interests first. I cannot recommend them enough for someone looking for their next role."

"Brian was an amazing resource while searching for a new career. We communicated briefly on LinkedIn and then we had an amazing conversation via zoom. He allowed me to express my concerns and desires exploring new opportunities. During our meeting Brian presented an opportunity to me that was a perfect fit for me. Brian is extremely diligent, and I received a follow-up email (the most detailed email I have ever had with any recruiter) to help me prepare for my interview. After my initial interview Brian was available for a debrief. He was excited with me the entire time and I really felt like he cared that the opportunity was a good fit and not just finding me a job. He called me to confirm my second interview and I received another email to prepare me. I was able to focus on my confidence because Brian provided me such detailed information in my prep email. Brian stayed in communication during the waiting process. I truly felt like I had an advocate and when I received the good news, I could hear his excitement for me as well. He even assisted me with my transition from the previous employer. The best experience I have ever had. Brian, I truly thank you for everything."

"Brian is one of the most important connections I’ve made. He took the time to understand what my goals were and where I wanted to be in my career. I just started working at a great company and I couldn’t have gotten it without him. I highly recommend working with recruiters from Synergy Search!"

“Thank you, Brian and Cara, for the effort you put into helping me with my job search. I had around a dozen recruiters reach out and I worked with around six. Most of the ones that I worked with did a phone screening with me and didn't follow up/introduced me to very few opportunities. You guys introduced me to plenty of opportunities, gave me plenty of information on the firms, and prepared me well for the interviews. You both were available around the clock, even at odd hours, to help me with this search. At a time in my life when I was uncertain about my future you both supported me to the point where I am now confident. Again, I couldn't thank you both enough.”
