Abstract: We prove a sharp version of Hal'asz's theorem on sums $su{m}_{nleqx}f(n)$ of multiplicative functions $f$ with $|f(n)|le1$. Our proof avoids the "average of averages" and "integration over $alpha$" manoeuvres that are present in many of the existing arguments. Instead, motivated by the circle method we express $su{m}_{nleqx}f(n)$ as a triple Dirichlet convolution, and apply Perron's formula.
