Dear finance leader,

- Have you watched a great candidate accept a higher offer the week before they were supposed to start?
You're not failing at hiring. The local market is failing you.
Every other company in your zip code is fishing in the same shrinking talent pool.

The Cost Advantage
Save 35% or More on Every Accounting Hire Without Settling for Less Talent.
Most companies overpay for accounting talent because they're locked into a single local market. With salaries rising every year (Accounting Today reports a $10,000 jump in median staff accountant pay in just twelve months), every open seat costs more than the last one.
Synapse Global places vetted Caribbean professionals at salaries typically 35% or more below comparable US hires, with no compromise on credentials or output. The savings compound across your finance team, year over year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the Direct Placement fee?
The Direct Placement fee (20% of annual base salary) covers the full sourcing and vetting process: talent mapping across our Caribbean network, background verification, skills assessment, peer technical review, interview facilitation, and a 90-day replacement guarantee. There are no additional fees on top of this unless you add compliance and payroll management.
What is an Employer of Record and how does it work?
With our Employer of Record service, Synapse Global becomes the legal employer of your Caribbean hire. We handle all employment administration: contracts, payroll, taxes, and statutory compliance. You direct the day-to-day work. It is the fastest way to hire in the Caribbean without setting up a local legal entity.
Can an EOR employee convert to a direct hire?
Yes. You can transition an EOR employee to a direct hire at any time. We facilitate the handover of employment, including any necessary documentation, at no additional conversion fee. Many clients use EOR to trial talent before bringing them onto their own payroll.
Do you support currencies other than USD?
All talent is paid in USD. We handle the full payroll and compliance pipeline between the Caribbean and North America. Transparent rates, no hidden markups. Clients are billed in USD.
How does Synapse handle data security and confidentiality?
All Synapse professionals are bound by confidentiality agreements and data handling protocols aligned with your requirements. Our internal platform uses end-to-end encryption and MFA across all access points. For enterprise clients requiring custom security reviews, we can provide full compliance documentation on request.
Which service is right for me: Direct Placement or EOR?
Direct Placement is best when you want to bring talent onto your own payroll and employment structure. You pay a one-time fee and take over. EOR is ideal when you want to hire quickly without setting up a Caribbean legal entity, or when you would prefer us to manage all ongoing employment obligations. Not sure? Talk to our team and we will recommend the right fit.
