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.

I have a master's in accounting and I'm a Finance Program Manager at Google, so I've seen finance hiring from the inside: what gets a candidate shortlisted, and what gets them quietly passed over. After coaching 1,400+ professionals, mostly accountants and finance pros, I turned those patterns into the Summit Method, four stages I 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 Big 4 to Amazon Tax Lead

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

The result
Tax Manager · Amazon+$40K base7 weeks
Client storySenior

From Senior Manager to FANNG Director

She was a senior manager ready for more leadership work, but kept getting filtered out before anyone saw her potential. We repositioned her experience around business impact and built a targeted referral campaign. She landed an director role at Netflix, an $80K jump and the strategic seat she was after.

From Corporate Finance to Meta

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 Transformation offer at Meta, with a meaningful equity bump on top of base.
