Founder
Led by Dagny Yznaga, founder of Contigo Accounting.
Melbourne CFO was created to give growing businesses access to senior financial guidance that sits beyond bookkeeping and tax compliance.
Dagny Yznaga
Founder & Director
Dagny founded Melbourne CFO after observing a consistent gap through the work of Contigo Accounting — growing businesses that needed more than accurate compliance work. They needed strategic financial leadership, clearer reporting, and a trusted advisor who understood their business from the inside.

Melbourne CFO is intentionally small. Clients work directly with Dagny — not a delegated junior. The wider team executes reporting, tax, and compliance so financial leadership stays close and focused.
Why Melbourne CFO
A close client relationship, not an impersonal consulting model.
Melbourne CFO grew out of work done through Contigo Accounting. As client businesses grew, the need for strategic financial leadership — beyond bookkeeping and compliance — became clear. This service was built to fill that gap for owner-led Melbourne businesses that need clearer control.
Direct access to Dagny — not a handoff to a junior team.
A small expert team that balances senior judgement with practical execution.
Close, trust-based relationships with owners and finance teams.
Melbourne-based and focused — local understanding, real business context.
Strategic Finance Support
Built for owners who need clarity, discipline, and a trusted finance partner.
Results
What working with Melbourne CFO looks like.
Client Outcome
From inconsistent reporting to confident growth decisions.
A growing Melbourne services business came to Melbourne CFO with inconsistent reporting, an unclear cash position, and limited visibility into margins. After establishing a monthly reporting rhythm, clearer financial controls, and regular management reviews, the leadership team gained the cash visibility and financial confidence needed to pursue growth.
