Taking the Leap: The Financial Reality of Going Independent

← Back to all Live Workshops

October 29, 2026

6:00 PM-8:00 PM EDT

Hosted bv CHIEF • Flatiron District Clubhouse, New York, NY

Navigating the move to an independent consulting practice, portfolio career, or new venture - and wondering how to make the numbers work?

Join us for an open & honest panel conversation breaking down the practical financial and legal mechanics of walking away from a traditional paycheck, managing variable income, and building a sustainable independent career.

In this 90-minute panel conversation, you will:

  • Learn how to tackle your runway & cash strategy before taking the leap - including your personal transition timeline and minimum viable savings
  • Uncover what you actually need on day one, from structuring lumpy income and setting up tax & bookkeeping systems to protecting your personal assets
  • Receive in-the-moment advice on the important questions you've been keeping on the back burner in a closing AMA-style discussion

Who Should Attend: Panels are open to all Chief Members, but the insights shared in this one may be most impactful for members building an independent or portfolio-style career, or thinking about the transition into solopreneurship

About This Event: Panels bring industry leaders and subject matter experts together for moderated conversations to share insights and advice around a chosen topic.

This is a private event for CHEIF members, but if anyone is interested, please email me, and I will you as my guest.
