Meet Katy Chai, CDFA®, CPA

At Clarity Lane, we believe informed decisions lead to stronger financial futures.

Katy emphasizes the importance of understanding every financial detail so clients can move forward knowing they have made thoughtful, well-informed choices.

While no one expects divorce to be part of their life journey, the process does not have to be the adversarial, expensive, and stressful experience many people fear. Through thoughtful financial planning and objective guidance, Katy helps clients navigate divorce in a more constructive way, reducing uncertainty while focusing on practical solutions for the future.

As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® (CDFA®) and experienced financial professional, Katy brings a powerful combination of financial planning, accounting, and strategic insight to every client relationship.

Why Clarity Lane?

I founded Clarity Lane to educate, inform, support, guide, and ultimately empower. Especially in situations when there might be a knowledge or power imbalance. I’ve come across too many who’ve told me they wish they had known me BEFORE they went through their own divorce, that they regret not fighting to be more informed or voicing their concerns about the financial decisions that were made during the process.

Divorce on Your Terms

Creative settlement solutions can create space for an empowering divorce experience that is compassionate, values-affirming, respectful, and affordable. This ultimately empowers divorcing couples to move forward on their owns paths in a manner that sets them up to be their best selves (and often co-parents).

Reclaim Your Finances

As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, I am a member of the only group of professionals in this field who offer advice on how to structure a financial settlement so that both divorcing individuals get to keep more of their own money.

Holistic Approach

People are now recognizing at the beginning of the divorce process that their financial issues are just as important as the legal and emotional aspects of divorce, and many are seeking financial advice before they enter a lawyer’s office.
