DIVA L.I.F.E. Blueprint: What Sets Us Apart
Diva developed the L.I.F.E. (Love, Identity, Finances, Emotions) Blueprint, which is an approach to deal with all aspects of L.I.F.E when dealing with organisation & legistlations that impact our future. Creating a balance between your emotional needs with a practical and tenacious commitment to resolving your disputes smoothly as possible and helping our clients achieve financial independence.
How DIVA Financial Supports Women?
BDIVA Financial believes LIFE begins with transparency and support, and no woman can navigate and resolve anything without the proper knowledge and team by her side. She can be left dealing with unknowns in the financial industry, government, and legislative systems battling economic and emotional independence and her rights.
DIVA Financial educates women while providing professional services to reach their desired outcomes and mutual resolve. Coaching gives you the confidence to tackle any future situation, giving you complete control, managing your finances, and preparing for a solid financial future.
We offer financial Coaching & Advocacy, Bookkeeping, and Taxation services. We help women negotiate financial positions that empower them, not leave them vulnerable. Our Diva Brokers provide a separate service to obtain sustainable Finance aligned with the Right Lenders.

Melissa has brought together a Sydney team, based in Chippendale, who include a Financial Advisor, a Disputes handler, Counselors, Mortgage Brokers, Accountants, Bookkeepers, and Educators. This team offers a complete service to guide and empower women toward financial independence.
“Our team are determined to break the cycle of abuse by providing knowledge and expertise required to navigate all aspects of finance. We take each woman through a process of understanding and not simply provide a service,” says Melissa Cuturich, Founder of DIVA Financial.

What People Are Saying About DIVA
“Impossible is not in Melissa’s vocabulary” When no one would listen Mel heard our situation and helped us put the pieces together, against all odds and then recomending a brilliant Law Firm she worked with tirelessly. We reached a resolve without returning to Court. Her humanity and goodwill, restored our faith in professionals. Our results will go down in history as unbelievable, so we must stay nameless. Otherwise we would be shouting from the roof tops of what we retained.
