Why most searches stall

It's not you, it's the approach

The four pillars
The old way · Stuck
The Summit way · Hired
Preparing
Generic market assets that read like everyone else's
Tailored market assets built around quantified impact
Applying
Firing off endless job applications into the void
A focused search and a warm network that open doors
Interviewing
Hoping the right answers come out during interviews
Mock interviews & STAR stories until you're confident
Closing
Doing it all alone, second-guessing every move
A coach in your corner, negotiating with leverage until you sign
And ultimately
The Outcome
No offers, just more waiting
A 6-figure offer you're excited to sign
The Summit Method

One proven path to Big 4 and corporate finance

Alex Harlan
Meet your coach

Welcome! I'm Alex.

I spent 4 years working inside accounting and corporate finance, so I know what makes a candidate stand out, and what quietly gets one passed over.

After coaching 1,400+ professionals, I distilled those patterns into the Summit Method: a four-stage framework from stuck to signed offer that I walk with you personally.

The Flagship · We do it together

White Glove Career Coaching

We run your whole search together, from repositioning your resume to negotiating the offer, in 60 days.

Siyu's StoryExperienced

From H-1B Deadline to Amazon

After a layoff, Siyu had 60 days on her H-1B before she'd be forced to leave the U.S. We repositioned her career toolkit Big Tech, built a targeted search strategy, and sharpened her interviews. Six weeks later, she signed with Amazon as a Senior Financial Analyst. Working in Big Tech was a goal she'd been targeting since graduation, and served as a real step up in both role and prestige.

Joey's StoryExperienced

From Burnt Out to Google

Joey came to me burned out and stuck. He wanted out of his current role and into corporate finance. We rebuilt his career assets, built a targeted application strategy, and gave him a networking plan mapped to the roles he wanted. Two months later, he signed with Google. In his own words, "I just wanted to thank you live for all of your help as I have a new role with Google where I start in October!"

Sabrina's StoryEntry Level

From Endless Applications to EY

Sabrina had 8 months left before graduating with her Master's in Accounting degree, but hadn't secured a full-time role. We repositioned her background, implemented relevant projects and certificates to compensate for her lack of internship experience, and leveraged a tailored networking strategy. 2 months later, she signed a full-time offer at EY as an Audit Associate.
