Welcome to Second Stage Finance, where my purpose and innate desire to help people thrive have materialized into a company that makes financial freedom, education, and planning possible for everyone.  

A little about me: my name is Rochelle Coleman, an Accredited Financial Counselor candidate.  I’ve had the pleasure throughout my professional journey to ensure that, regardless of my role, my goal is always to learn, educate, and help people.  My experience spans different industries.  I’ve been a professional basketball player, the owner of a basketball training business, the Director of Global Programs for an International NGO, and an Associate Director for a Philanthropic Consulting Firm.  In every role, I have felt most aligned with my purpose when I have helped empower others to understand that their success is in their hands based on educating themselves, discipline, and consistency.  I’ve served as a resource, a coach, providing strategies and tools to help people realize their potential.

Second Stage Finance works with you like a dive buddy.  While scuba diving, a diver has two regulators: their first stage, or "main" regulator, and a second stage, or a "backup". The second stage is used if the diver has issues with the main regulator.  If your dive buddy has problems with their regulator, you share your second stage to help them breathe so they can return to the surface.

We are your backup, your Second Stage.
