Every business has a story and unique circumstances. I choose to specialise in commercial finance because I enjoy learning about people and tailer-making a solution that is meaningful to your business.
I was born and raised in Atherton with two older brothers. My parents owned and operated a construction business for most of my life and as a family we moved to Cairns in 2016 chasing warmer weather. I am a devoted Cowboys supporter and enjoy fishing, camping and spending time with my new fiancé and dogs.
I have over 8 years of experience in the finance industry most of which has been served at ANZ bank. I have worked as a branch manager across FNQ including Innisfail, Port Douglas and Cairns. My last role in the bank was as a Senior Business Banking Manager servicing the FNQ region. I decided to join Astute in 2024 because I was frustrated with the direction of banks and wanted to get back to old school face to face service.
If you would like to sit down and discuss your business, I’d love to hear from you! I can help you with:
• Property Purchases
• Asset/Vehicle finance
• Business purchases & restructures
• Self-Managed Superannuation lending
• Business expansion & working capital solutions
Billie is friendly and genuine. She is knowledgeable about the products she talks about and comes across as someone who will work hard to get you the best possible deal.
We have been using John since we bought our first house in 2008 and taken sound advice from him in all our finance dealing ever since; which has included, opening a business, building our second house and now purchasing an investment property. We trust the advice given to us and not understanding the finance world hugely rely on the knowledge given to us in making decisions. We thank Verena very much with her patience throughout each deal and her simple way of explaining the overwhelming fluff that the banks put on paper. Johns stickmen and drawings helped us immensely 🙂 We really feel like we have actually made some good friends when dealing with Astute.
Gus was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond his job requirements. My partner and I were blown away with the high level of customer service and extra assistance he gave us throughout the process making the purchase of our first home a lot less stressful. Gus was prompt, professional yet down to earth and always contactable. Dan and I have already recommended his services to friends and can’t speak highly enough of Gus.
We were recommended from friends to see Fei Chan to discuss buying investment property. He was very polite, friendly, sincere and honest. But most importantly, he has made it clearer for us on how to build our property portfolio for a better future. For that, I too highly recommend his service to others.
Being newbies to town & the housing market, it was reassuring to have the guidance of Liam from Astute. We felt like one of his family by the extent of his efforts. His honesty, calming persona, knowledge & ability to explain the scary & unknown house buying process in our ‘speak’ was invaluable. Not to mention the fantastic custom home loan we have secured. I would highly recommend, and already have recommended, his services. Thank you again Liam and the Astute Team.
Simon Cody is a model financier… Courteous and talented… He’s an asset to the home loan industry
First time we have used a mortgage broker and we will both recommend Billie.
All the staff at Astute are very professional and genuinely interested in making it easy – would be great to get this service everywhere I go 🙂
I give them two thumbs up! I always feel comfortable visiting the office because I know I’m in good hands!
