Originally from Papua New Guinea I was raised in the Solomon Islands throughout my childhood. Due to a civil conflict, my family were evacuated to Australia where we moved to Cairns. I now consider myself a local having completed primary and high school as well as university at JCU Cairns. Feeling no need to venture from the tropics of Cairns, much similar to the Solomon Islands, I have worked in several industries including construction, aviation ground support and accounting. More recently I have worked in the financial industry as a Paraplanner for over 4 years and have recently joined Astute in a similar role working in the Wealth division alongside Tracey & Cath. I very much look forward to working with our clients to help improve their financial circumstances.
The Team at Astute are absolutely amazing. I recently had a review with Tracey and the wealth team for personal insurances. Tracey was fantastic! She explained everything in an easy to understand way and made sure we fully understood what we were discussing while giving us plenty of time to ask questions. Tracey listened to our concerns and provided helpful advice.
You need to make an appointment to chat with Tracey and the team ASAP!
We recently returned to Astute as repeat customers, and once again Crystal and Peter delivered an exceptional experience. Their professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care made the entire process smooth and stress‑free from start to finish.
Crystal is always incredibly organised and proactive, keeping us updated at every step, while Peter’s knowledge and guidance gave us complete confidence in our decisions. It’s rare to find a team that consistently goes above and beyond, but that’s exactly what they do.
Thank you both for another outstanding experience – this is why we keep coming back. Highly recommend Crystal, Peter, and the team at Astute!
My journey towards my first home loan was smooth and seamless thanks to the help from the team at Astute Finance. I was assisted by Peter and Crystal who were wonderful to deal with. All my questions and concerns were taken care of and I would absolutely recommend giving them a call. Thankyou team Astute 🙂
Thank you to Crystal, Damien and John for helping me with my home loan recently. Your hard work is greatly appreciated and made a stressful time much easier.
Can’t recommend these guys enough!! –
You have a brilliant team there. I have been a customer for many years from the first time deal with John and his team. It’s great to walk in and be treated as a friend, as well as a customer –
Jimmydee has been a great help in assisting me with my home loan. I was recommended to Jimmydee by a friend as I was unsure on where to begin for my first home. He made it easy, giving step by step assistance. He is incredibly patient and explains things in simple terms to make everything easy to understand. He was able to go through all the options with me and made making a decision simplistic. He is quick to reply and fast acting. I would recommend JD to anyone in the market for a broker as my experience has been fantastic.
We have worked with Prue and Gus on our financing for 5 years now, this included both mortgages and personal loans. They have always been professional, upfront and genuine. I can’t recommend them highly enough, and now have a number of friends that use their services that have reported the same experience. Don’t go anywhere else for financial services.
