What I Do — and Who It's For
Tania P. Brown, CFP - Job Exit Strategist & Owner, Confident Quitter’s Collective
The Short Answer
I help people 40+ quit corporate, typically women corporate leaders 40+ — without blowing up the 20+ years of security they spent building it. Not a financial advisor. Not a business coach. Something in between, built for the mess of leaving a paycheck to go solo.
(When I left my own corporate seat after 20+ years, I didn't glide out like a powerhouse CEO — I came out like an off-balance donkey on roller skates. Ask me sometime.)
The Gap I Stand In
Most people this age aren't afraid of their money — they're frustrated by it. Foggy. Scattered accounts, a 401(k), RSUs nobody explained, a spreadsheet that made sense in March and means nothing by June.
Your financial planner knows your money. Your business coach knows your plan. Nobody makes them talk to each other. That gap is where good exits go to die. I stand in it.
How This Is Different
Already have a CFP®? Good — keep them. They tell you if your portfolio's balanced.
I tell you if your exit plan has leaks that'll drain your savings before your business ever breathes. Solo self-employment is the orphan category — half personal, half business — and almost nobody's trained for that blend.
I am. Staff Sergeant to corporate VP to founder, I built this practice around one transition, because I lived it.
In A Session
Before we ever get on a call, you fill out my intake questionnaire — it's thorough, because I'm building a full financial roadmap with you, not a quick guess.
It's how I already know a little about where you're starting before we say hello.
Then it's real numbers, live, on screen — not homework you never open. We walk through your financial reality, the benefits you're about to lose, and what Year 1 solo really costs, together.
Think of me as a translator — your compensation, benefits, and equity, finally in plain English.
You never carry the hard part alone.
This Is For You If...
40+ · mid-management or above · mentally checked out but haven't quit yet · money feels foggy, not scary · want a plan built with someone.
Not Yet, If...
Money brings up shame or freeze — that's real work, and it deserves a therapist first.
