About The Owner

Brett Donley

CEO & Founder

Brett Donley, CEO of Financial Freedom Coaching. He is a finance coach or Financial Planner with VA, interest rate, debt consolidation experience.

The inspiration behind Financial Freedom Coaching stems from a lifelong passion for both money management and helping others. From an early age, I developed an entrepreneurial spirit, starting with selling rhubarb to local grocers as a child. Later, I honed my skills in customer service and relationship-building while working at Best Buy, Tourneau, Louis Vuitton, and at a mental health facility where I learned the importance of truly understanding people’s needs and developing empathy to a person’s life changes.

My journey into finance began at Countrywide Mortgages, where I discovered a talent for guiding clients through major financial decisions. I realized my true calling wasn’t just in facilitating home loans but in empowering people to make informed financial choices. By offering personalized advice on credit management, loan options, and debt reduction, I built a referral-based business driven by trust and results. Often, I would work months with clients beyond doing mortgages for them. Sadly, I was laid off during the 2008-2009 mortgage crisis along with the rest of the company.

In 2010, I enlisted in the military to pursue another lifelong goal of serving this great nation. It was there, in addition to my job, where I continued to pursue my passion for financial coaching. I provided VA mortgage briefings and financial planning for my fellow airmen, helping them navigate homeownership with confidence and even achieve debt-free living. After my service, friends and colleagues continued to seek my guidance, which eventually inspired me to formalize my efforts into Financial Freedom Coaching.

For over 15 years, I’ve been committed to providing honest, unbiased financial advice, contract reviews; saving people hundreds of thousands of dollars thus helping them achieve their goals. Financial Freedom Coaching is the result of that commitment—a business built on trust, integrity, and a genuine desire to see others succeed. My mission is simple: to help you take control of your finances, achieve your dreams, and build a life of financial freedom.
