ABOUT SYNERGY SPINE SOLUTIONS
Synergy Spine Solutions is a medical device company focused on improving the quality of life for patients undergoing spine surgery. We develop motion-preserving technologies that treat degenerative disc disease while supporting the spine’s natural curvature. Our flagship product, the FDA-approved Synergy Disc®, is the first and only artificial cervical disc designed to improve sagittal alignment through a built-in 6-degree lordotic core while delivering intentional motion preservation using time-tested, trusted materials. There is over 10 years of clinical experience with the Synergy Disc outside the United States in more than 10 countries, where the device has been commercially available and implanted in thousands of patients.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking a detail-oriented Senior Financial & Payroll Analyst to support the company’s growth with corporate financial planning and workforce management. In this dual-capacity role, you will spend about 70% of your time on core financial analysis (budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting) and 30% managing our end-to-end payroll operations through our co-employment platform.
Because our payroll, benefits administration, and employer tax filings are managed through a Professional Employer Organization (PEO), your payroll responsibilities will focus heavily on data integrity, hourly tracking oversight, compliance, and PEO invoice reconciliation rather than manual tax calculations. The ideal candidate possesses a strong corporate finance background and a solid understanding of payroll structures and workforce analytics.

- Ad-Hoc Modeling: Build robust financial models to support strategic business decisions, capital allocation, and ROI assessments.
2. Payroll & PEO Administration (30%)
- Liaison to PEO: Coordinate with our PEO provider to facilitate smooth payroll cycle administration.
- Data Verification: Collect, review, and verify employee timecards, commissions, bonuses, and expense reimbursements before approving the final PEO batch runs.
- General Ledger Integration: Prepare and upload accurate payroll-related journal entries and reconcile related balance sheet accounts.
- Employee Support: Serve as the internal point of contact for employees regarding payroll inquiries, benefit deduction discrepancies, time off accruals, escalating complex matters to the PEO as required.
