About Us

We specialise in helping our customers get the best lending advice and guidance throughout the mortgage process. Our bread and butter is supporting the average Australian through the complex process of getting a loan approved.

We work hard to create a financial plan that works for you.

We’re commited to working with our clients and ensuring they not only receive the best products in market, but ultimately enjoy the experience of working with a professional broking body.

Finance can often seem too hard or too scary and for that too many people put their financial well-being on the back end. At GA Finance we pride ourselves on making the over-complicated seem easy to understand and take away the confusing jargon in order to make sure that step by step throughout any loan application process, you are across every move and well informed.

Not everyone is meant to be an expert in finance. We get that. Our goal is to make the finance game more enjoyable so it no longer becomes a chore and a task that sits at the bottom of your to do list.

The care and commitment to his clients paved the way for the GA Finance team to expand over the last couple of years. Around the office, Grant sometimes forgets that he is no longer in a sole office space, and can often be heard belting out a tune, or talking on the phone with the volume set to 11.

A much loved and admired member of the senior team, Grant holds a Bachelor of Business, Diploma of Finance and Mortgage Broking Management and a Certificate IV in Finance and Mortgage Broking.

A much loved member of the team, around the office, Laura always has a smile on her face and it often rubs off on the rest of the team.

Zander holds a Bachelor of International Business and Certificate IV in Finance and Mortgage Broking. With a positive attitude that is contagious across the office, Zander is able to use this to his advantage to avoid any tension whenever he happily helps himself to anything that stays in the office fridge for longer than 24 hours.
