Diani Van Graan

Diani is seasoned entrepreneur-turned-financial strategist. She’s built ventures from floral design studios to pioneering advisory firms alongside her husband, Albert—always anchored in her creed: “Greatness lies in simplicity, goodness, and truth.” Off-duty, she’s a protea-growing, trail-hiking bibliophile who crafts pour-over coffees at her wellness café and debates business psychology over dinners with her three kids. For Diani, financial planning isn’t just spreadsheets—it’s designing flexible, life-first strategies that let clients thrive in stability, adapt to change, and reclaim their power.

Purpose

Diani believes greatness emerges from simplicity, goodness, and truth—a philosophy inspired by Leo Tolstoy. To her, exceptional outcomes begin with meticulous attention to detail, patience, and compassion. She transforms complexity into clarity, guiding clients toward their grandest aspirations with a balance of creative problem-solving and steadfast integrity.

Personal Info

A devoted wife and mother of three, Diani thrives in life’s vibrant intersections. When not advising clients, she’s crafting pour-over coffees at her wellness café, tending to her protea garden, or exploring mountain trails. A self-described bibliophage (book devourer) and functional fitness enthusiast, she finds joy in beauty, creativity, and the pursuit of a well-lived life.

Milestones

  • Founded a floral and events company in 2012, blending creativity with entrepreneurship.

  • Transitioned into risk and insurance, co-launching a firm with her husband, Albert, over 12 years ago.

  • Expanded expertise across forensic auditing, corporate registrations, and client-centric financial innovation.

  • Pioneered a holistic approach to financial planning, merging legal, economic, and psychological insights.

Education

Bachelor of Commerce in Law (BCom Law): Majors in Economics & Business Psychology.

History

Diani’s journey began with humble roots and an entrepreneurial spark. After earning her BCom Law, she launched ventures in corporate registrations and forensic auditing—all while nurturing a side hustle in wedding florals. Marrying her high school sweetheart ignited a leap of faith: together, they built a financial advisory firm that challenges conventional planning. Their path—balancing family, business growth, and big dreams—instilled a deep empathy for startups and families alike. Today, she guides clients with the wisdom of someone who’s navigated risk, reward, and resilience firsthand.
