She has also built high‑performing finance teams and developed commercial training adopted across global organisations. 

As a Fractional CFO Partner, Dianne brings this experience to businesses seeking clearer financial direction, stronger commercial discipline and practical support for growth. She connects financial information with the decisions that shape performance, combining analytical depth with clear communication to help teams understand what needs to change and how to move forward.

She helps businesses address key questions: 

• Profitability: Where are margins under pressure, and what can be improved? 

• Cash flow: How can working capital and payment collection be managed more effectively? 

• Planning: Are budgets and forecasts supporting realistic business goals? 

• Pricing: Do commercial proposals reflect delivery costs and risks? 

• Reporting: Are leaders receiving clear, useful information to guide decisions? 

• Governance: Are responsibilities, controls and processes supporting the business as it grows?

Industry experience includes technology and IT services, professional services, financial services, health services and government portfolios. Her earlier accountancy experience also spans transport (rail and airlines), commodities and consumer goods. 

She holds a Bachelor of Business from Queensland University of Technology and has completed professional development through CPA Australia and Melbourne Business School.
