The Summit Method

One proven path to Big 4 and Big Tech

Sending more applications isn't a strategy. I'll guide you through each step of my proven framework, from stuck to signed offer.

Meet your coach

Welcome! I'm Alex.

After coaching 1,400+ professionals, many of them accountants and finance professionals, I kept seeing the same patterns in who got hired, and why. The Summit Method distills these patterns into four stages that I'll walk with you personally.

The Flagship · We do it together

White Glove Career Coaching

Want me in your corner the whole way? In my flagship 1:1 program I walk you through all four stages personally, we run the entire search together, from positioning to signed offer.

The guarantee

I work with you until you land a job, guaranteed.

Preparing · Position your finance background

The groundwork before you apply. We pinpoint your target, Big 4 advisory, technical accounting, FP&A, or a Big Tech finance team, then rebuild your resume and LinkedIn around quantified finance impact: closes, audits, models, and dollars saved. You walk away knowing exactly where you stand and which firms to chase.

Client storyExperienced

From stuck in audit to a finance role at Big Tech

He came to me as a Big 4 senior, burned out and getting ignored every time he applied to tech. We repositioned his audit experience for a Big Tech finance team, rebuilt his resume and LinkedIn around quantified impact, and ran the full search together, from outreach to the final negotiation.

Seven weeks later he signed an offer as a Tax Manager at Amazon, a $40K jump from where he started.

Client storySenior

From public accounting to FP&A at a Big 4

She was a senior accountant ready for more strategic work, but kept getting filtered out before anyone saw her potential. We repositioned her experience around business impact and built a targeted referral campaign into the firms she wanted.

She landed an FP&A Manager role at a Big 4 firm, a $28K jump and the strategic seat she was after.

From corporate finance to a Big Tech finance team

He had strong experience but was overlooked every time. We rebuilt his resume and LinkedIn around quantified results, then prepped him through the full interview loop, behavioral, technical, and case rounds.

He signed a Finance Analyst offer at a top tech company, with a meaningful equity bump on top of base.

Questions

Everything you might be wondering

The program

It's my flagship 1:1 program where I partner with you across the entire job search, from positioning and your resume to outreach, interviews, and the final negotiation. We run the whole thing together until you land.

Most clients sign an offer within about 60 days, though it depends on your target and timeline. We keep working together until you land, there is no fixed end date.

Accounting and finance professionals aiming to break into the Big 4 or a Big Tech finance team. If you are switching firms or levels and want the search done right, it is built for you.

All four stages of the Summit Method: a repositioned resume and LinkedIn, a targeted firm list and outreach, full interview prep (behavioral, technical accounting, and case rounds), and offer negotiation.

Pricing & guarantees

Yes. I work with you until you land a job, that is the guarantee. Your success is the finish line, not a set number of sessions.

Pricing depends on your situation and is discussed on the free strategy call. Payment plans are available, just ask.

You can absolutely do it alone, but most people spend months guessing. The program gives you a proven system and a partner so you move faster and land a stronger offer. The comp increase usually covers the investment many times over.

Working together

Book a free strategy call. We will map where you are, where you want to be, and whether the program is the right fit, no pressure either way.

It is a true 1:1 partnership. We meet regularly, and I am in your corner between sessions for resume reviews, outreach, and interview debriefs.
