Is there a way to join these guys without the use of an intermediate table holding id's from each table?

No, you must use an intermediate table if you want to keep the data model normalised. Even in database systems that permit Many-to-Many joins directly it is implemented with an intermediate table under the covers.

If you are willing to denormalise the datamodel you could implement it without the intermediate table if there were a limited number of possibles joins, say an Account can cover a maximum of 3 sites. You have three site foreign key references on Account that are nullable (just in case there are not exactly 3 sites) and vice versa. This will, however, become much more difficult to maintain than the intermediate table solution.

Is there any particular reason why you don't want to use an intermediate table?
