Financial Clarity for Career Transitions
When you're contemplating a significant career change, understanding the financial implications can help you make the transition with confidence rather than uncertainty.
Return to HomepageWhat This Review Provides
You'll receive a detailed financial assessment of your contemplated career transition. We'll model how long your resources can sustain you during the change, what happens to your benefits and insurance coverage, and what income recovery might look like under different scenarios.
This analysis isn't about telling you whether to make the career change. That's a deeply personal decision that involves factors well beyond finances. What we provide is clarity about the financial dimensions of the transition so that money doesn't have to be the primary source of anxiety as you're making this decision.
You'll understand your runway under various assumptions, see how different timing decisions might affect your financial position, and have frameworks for thinking about the trade-offs between moving quickly versus waiting. The goal is to help you feel informed about the financial aspects so you can focus on the other important considerations.
The Uncertainty You're Navigating
Maybe you're considering leaving your current position to pursue something different, whether that's another role in a new industry, an entrepreneurial venture, or simply taking time to figure out what's next. The professional aspects might feel clear, but the financial questions can be harder to resolve.
How long can you afford to be between positions? What happens to your health insurance and other benefits? If you're pursuing something with uncertain income, how do you think about the timeline for financial viability? These questions don't have simple answers because they depend on your specific circumstances and assumptions about the future.
Without examining these questions analytically, it's difficult to know whether you're being appropriately cautious or unnecessarily delaying a change that would work out fine financially. The uncertainty itself can become paralyzing, making it hard to move forward with clarity.
Our Approach to Career Transition Analysis
We start by understanding what you're contemplating and what concerns you most about the financial aspects. Some people worry primarily about runway. Others are focused on benefit transitions or understanding what income recovery might look like. Knowing what matters most to you helps us focus the analysis appropriately.
We then model different scenarios based on various assumptions about timing, income trajectories, and market conditions. This scenario-based approach lets you see how different choices and circumstances might affect your financial position over time.
The methodology includes runway calculations under different spending assumptions, benefit transition analysis, income recovery modeling, and timing consideration frameworks. We examine both optimistic and conservative scenarios so you can understand the range of potential outcomes rather than relying on a single set of assumptions.
Comprehensive Perspective
Our analysis considers not just the immediate transition period but also what comes after. We look at how different income trajectories might unfold and what that means for your longer-term financial position.
Working Through This Together
We'll begin with a detailed conversation about your current situation and what you're considering. You'll share information about your financial position, your contemplated transition, and your concerns. This initial discussion helps ensure the analysis addresses what actually matters to you.
Over the following weeks, we'll conduct the modeling work, examining various scenarios and calculating the implications of different approaches and timelines. We'll look at both the mechanics of the transition itself and the subsequent recovery period.
You'll receive a comprehensive written analysis that presents our findings across different scenarios. We'll then meet to discuss the results, allowing you to ask questions and explore the implications of what we've found. Throughout the process, you're working with someone who understands that career transitions involve much more than just financial considerations.

How This Analysis Works
The methodology we use models career transitions through established financial planning frameworks, adapted to your specific circumstances. We calculate runway under different assumptions about spending, income, and market conditions. We examine benefit transitions by mapping what you're leaving behind and what you'll need to replace.
For income recovery, we model different trajectories based on your contemplated path. If you're moving to another traditional role, we look at typical hiring timelines and income levels. If you're pursuing something entrepreneurial or less conventional, we model various growth scenarios to understand the range of possible outcomes.
Most individuals receive their completed analysis within four to six weeks of our initial conversation. The timeline reflects both the complexity of modeling multiple scenarios and the need to ensure the analysis thoroughly addresses your specific situation.
Setting Appropriate Expectations
This analysis provides financial perspective on your contemplated transition. It won't tell you whether the career change is the right decision overall since that involves considerations well beyond finances. What it will do is remove financial uncertainty as a barrier to making a well-informed decision.
You'll understand your financial runway, see what benefit transitions involve, and have realistic frameworks for thinking about income recovery. This clarity lets you make the career decision based on what's right for you professionally and personally, rather than being paralyzed by financial unknowns.
