Clarity Financial Wellness offers Certified Divorce Financial Analysis for high-net-worth, complex, and high-conflict divorce cases in Colorado — including hidden assets, executive compensation, settlement modeling, and financial affidavit support.
FINANCIAL CLARITY THROUGH DIVORCE.
Financial strength and confidence beyond it.
Because in divorce, numbers tell the real story.
Divorce can be financially overwhelming - especially when complexity, executive compensation, business interest, or uneven access to information are involved. When the financial picture is unclear, decision-making can become reactive and costly.
Clarity Financial Wellness (CFW) exists to bring structure, clarity, and informed analysis to the financial side of divorce, so decisions are made with confidence.
Founder Stephanie Clara Daukus, MBA, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, created CFW to support individuals and families navigating high-net-worth, complex, and high-conflict divorces. Many clients face questions involving hidden assets, executive compensation, real estate, or business ownership.
As a financial professional trained specifically in the complexities of divorce, Stephanie bridges the gap where traditional financial planning, accounting, and legal services many not fully overlap. Clarity Financial Wellness focuses on untangling, analyzing, and simplifying the financial side of divorce, so clients can make informed, strategic decisions with confidence.
CFW helps you:
-
Understand your full financial picture
-
Model potential support and settlement outcomes
-
Build a realistic, sustainable post divorce budget
-
Review financial affidavits for accuracy and gaps
-
Identify risks, opportunities, and long-term impacts
Whether you’re preparing for divorce, navigating mediation or litigation, or rebuilding afterward, Clarity Financial Wellness brings calm guidance and clear analysis every step of the way.
Our goal: to help you move forward with strength, confidence, and clarity.
Hello, I'm Stephanie
FOUNDER & DIVORCE FINANCIAL ANALYST
I help clients bring order, strategy, and calm to the financial side of divorce.
As a former finance executive with more than 20 years of experience, I know how to make sense of complex financial situations - and explain them clearly. Before launching Clarity, I spent my career at leading financial services firms including NASDAQ, Thomson Reuters, MSCI, and Envestnet (a leading platform used by financial advisors and asset managers), partnering closely with legal, compliance, accounting, and communications teams.
My background spans financial analysis, strategic communication, corporate finance, and translating complex financial stories into clear, actionable insights.
Based in Castle Rock, Colorado, I'm a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® with an MBA in Finance & Marketing. I combine analytical expertise with empathy and structure - supporting clients navigating, high-net worth, high conflict, and financially imbalanced divorces.
Whether you’re dealing with hidden assets, executive compensation, real estate, business ownership, or overall financial uncertainty, I help you move forward with clarity and control.
Because financial clarity is the first step toward securing lasting financial freedom.
The Heart Behind Clarity
MY STORY
After stepping away from a successful corporate finance career, I found myself searching for what was next.
During that time, a close friend confided in me as she navigated a difficult, financially controlling divorce. Her husband, a senior leader at a fast-growing technology company, controlled every dollar - she didn’t even have her own login to their joint accounts.
Together, we organized financial records, uncovered hidden assets, built a realistic budget, and created a plan she could confidently move forward with.
That experience changed everything.
I realized how many people, even in financially successful households, go through divorce without access to the information, clarity, or support they need to make sound financial decisions.
I founded Clarity Financial Wellness to change that.
CFW bridges the gap between legal, emotional, and financial guidance. Whether you’re preparing to leave, in the process, or rebuilding after, I provide structure, stability, and strategic insight so you can make smart financial decisions with confidence.
