Close to the decisions
You are at the table when owners and management make the big decisions. Not three layers down a hierarchy.
Careers at Summ
Become the advisor
others call.
At Summ you work close to owners and management from day one. You get responsibility, a partner at your side and clients that matter.
Why Summ
We are not the biggest advisory house. We intend to be the best. That takes the most capable people, and it takes letting them become even better.
Our promise to you
Six things you can count on.
A partner behind you
Deniz and Hassan know your work, and you know them. You get sparring from the people who built the firm.
Expertise without shortcuts
We invest in your education and give you time to go deep. A good answer matters more than a fast one.
Clients to be proud of
Architects, engineers, tech, manufacturing and holding companies. Businesses with ambition and owners who listen.
The world as your workplace
Through Alliott Global Alliance you work with colleagues in more than 100 countries and can join conferences abroad.
Room to grow
We are a growing firm. There is room for those who want more responsibility, and we say so when you are ready.
The culture
A firm where people speak plainly.
We have a short path from idea to decision, and a culture where being right matters more than being in charge. We help each other, keep our promises, and celebrate when things go well.
International perspective
A firm our size. A world the size of the big ones.
Few smaller firms can offer this. At Summ you are part of Alliott Global Alliance, with training, conferences and colleagues in more than 100 countries. And Summ itself has offices in Copenhagen, India and Dubai.
Impact Academy
Tomorrow's leaders, trained together.
Alliott's Impact Academy builds leadership skills and an international peer group for the people who will lead advisory firms in the future. It brings together talent from member firms worldwide.

Book a coffeeWho we look for
Summ is not for everyone. That's the point.
We hire for character as much as for CV. If you recognise yourself in these three values, we would like to hear from you.
01
Commitment
You spend the time it takes, and you care about the person behind the business.
02
Courage
You step in where something is at stake, and you stay until it is solved.
03
Candour
You advise rather than please, and you expect the same in return: openness and a will to act.
Your career path
You always know the next step.
We have three career tracks with clear levels. Each level has set expectations, so you know what it takes to move on, and we talk it through with you every year.
