The Story of Sue: A Financial Roadmap Success Story
Sue, a long-time client of Financial Roadmap, had always dreamed of downshifting to a less demanding job to enjoy life more fully. After going through our comprehensive financial planning process, it became clear that she could indeed achieve this goal. However, our assessment also revealed a significant gap in her plan: it was entirely dependent on her continuing to work in good health.
​
Recognising the potential risks, we encouraged Sue and her husband to consider 'catastrophe scenarios,' such as Sue becoming unable to work due to illness or disability. When these scenarios were plugged into her financial roadmap, the results were eye-opening. The impact on her financial plans and dreams would be devastating.
​
Based on this insight, we recommended that Sue take out critical illness and income protection cover. Although initially hesitant, Sue eventually agreed, seeing the value in safeguarding her financial future.
​
Shortly after, Sue was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. Thanks to the critical illness cover we had advised her to take, she received a substantial payment that is significantly aiding her through her treatment. She's also in a position to claim income protection benefits.
​
Today, Sue frequently expresses her gratitude for our foresight and advice, acknowledging that it has been a financial lifesaver in her time of need.
​
This story serves as a powerful testament to the importance of comprehensive financial planning and why Financial Roadmap stands as a leader in the field. It's not just about achieving financial goals; it's also about preparing for life's uncertainties.

Welcome to Financial Roadmap, the home of your trusted guide through the complexities of financial planning, Steve Clark. Steve stands at the crossroads of integrity and innovation, championing values like social justice and curiosity, and embodies the principles of helpfulness, loyalty, and humility. At the heart of Steve’s approach is a commitment to familial security, fostering influential relationships, and embracing the joy and diversity life has to offer. His talent for crafting relatable narratives and his quick-witted humour make financial planning an engaging journey rather than a daunting task. Having navigated the corporate world and its mergers, Steve recognised the "Friday edge of the bed syndrome" many face – that creeping sense of unease and dissatisfaction with the work-life balance. This propelled him to venture out, armed with just a desk, a pen, an iPad, and a phone, to create a lifestyle business that prioritises personal fulfilment over profit. Steve's story is one of authenticity; from backpacking around the globe with Sue to making the brave decision to break away from the traditional career path, he exemplifies living life on your own terms. He understands that many are trapped in roles that do not fulfil them, having invested time and effort only to find themselves at a crossroads. As a life-centred planner, Steve helps his clients navigate these crossroads. His work is about more than just numbers; it's about writing the eulogy of one's financial life, ensuring it’s as rich and varied as the life you live. His approach is tailored to those in the 40 to 60 age bracket, who, like him, seek to ascend the corporate ladder while maintaining a balance that allows for deep, meaningful engagement with life's true passions. Steve is your trusted adviser, the person who makes complex financial concepts accessible and injects a dose of humour into the mix. He is the relationship manager who values the person behind the portfolio, the planner who helps you explore the 'what ifs' of life without losing sight of the 'what is'.

Join Steve as he helps you navigate your financial path with a personal touch that turns planning into an art form.
