My dealings with Astute Finance began the day after my 20th birthday when I purchased my first property at auction and decided to use a broker to find the best loan options suitable for me. A year after, I purchased a new vehicle and spoke to Donnie about assisting me and this is where I realised my love for finance and how important speaking to a broker is!
After turning 25 and having a quarter life crisis (happens to the best of us), I began thinking about what my next move was and I didn’t just want a job, I wanted a career.
October 2018 – I’m starting at Astute Finance in the Equipment Finance team and loving every moment. In 2019, I had now become a fully accredited Finance Broker, specialising in Consumer Lending which is your everyday type personal borrowing.
Look forward to May 2024 and after many years of working in the Astute Cairns office with an amazing team, we’ve now opened our office, Astute Finance Barron River.
Within the Astute North QLD group, we understand the importance of outstanding customer service and being able to deliver an un-matched financial experience for our valued clients. I’m a big believer in building relationships so I’m always open for a chat and not just about your finance needs!
Although, when I’m not chatting finance, you will find me either camping or curled up on the couch with my husband, Troy and kelpie dog, Evie.
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.
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.
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 🙂 –
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.
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!
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!
I could not recommend Astute and their amazing team more! They have made our journey of home buying simple and easy, taking all the stress of necessary steps off us. Will be doing any of our financial needs with them from now on! –
