Jon is an incredible coach who helped me successfully navigate the investment banking recruiting process from a non-core school. I met Jon as a first-year student at SUNY Binghamton after joining the school’s Finance Society. Jon became a mentor to me immediately and helped me outline an action plan for the next four years, with clear key milestones I needed to hit to secure the post-college job I desired. He was with me each step of the way, helping me craft my resume, connecting me with industry professionals, and preparing me for interviews. After landing an offer, my first call was to Jon to discuss how to navigate the decision to sign. Jon has been a mentor to me for over seven years and has continued to help me navigate my career post-college.

I worked with Derek over a span of two months to prepare for various FP&A interviews. He was very knowledgeable about FP&A, thoughtful, and provided lots of actionable advice during each session.

Jonathan provided invaluable advice when I was thinking through which career I wanted to pursue after graduation and when I was thinking about next steps after my first job.

Jonathan has proven to be an invaluable coach and mentor throughout my career in finance. He has a fantastic understanding of both the technical and behavioral sides of business, and does an excellent job of conveying this to hopeful applicants.

I would recommend Jonathan to anyone hoping to break into, or further a career in finance.
