Bethany Brown helps clients achieve clarity and confidence in their financial lives through a holistic, value-based approach to wealth management and financial planning. With more than 14 years of experience managing complex international initiatives focused on economic resilience and poverty reduction, she combines analytical rigor with a deep understanding of how financial decisions shape lives and communities.
Bethany began her career as a Peace Corps Volunteer, supporting entrepreneurs in Thailand and Saint Lucia as they strengthened local economies and expanded access to opportunity. She later led knowledge management initiatives for USAID-funded programs focused on private sector engagement and global health—work that honed her ability to synthesize complex data and communicate it with clarity and purpose.
After navigating an unexpected career transition resulting from federal layoffs, Bethany gained firsthand insight into the importance of financial preparedness and resilience. That experience inspired her to dedicate her career to helping others build financial security and long-term stability. Drawing on her background in knowledge management, she brings structure and simplicity to her financial planning process, empowering clients to make informed, strategic decisions with confidence.
Bethany holds a Master’s Degree in Community Development and Applied Economics and a Certificate in Ecological Economics and lives in the mountains of Vermont with her husband and three children. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, exploring Vermont’s small towns, traveling, and experimenting with make-ahead recipes in her kitchen.
