Nadine Parkes

I am a 5th generation Cairns local!!

Completing high school at Cairns State High School, I then went on to study Commerce at JCU in one of the first intakes in the Cairns Campus before it was moved to the Smithfield Campus.

I have worked in the accounting industry since 18 years of age and after completing my commerce degree then went on to become a CPA (Certified Practising Accountant). Prior to joining Astute Accounting I had worked for the same firm for over ten years.

I am a mum to two teenage daughters and a couple of feline and canine fur babies. This keeps my husband and I very busy but if we do find some spare time our family loves to go camping and fishing.

What Our Client Have To Say

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.

Claire, Manunda

We recently had an appointment with Astute to help us sort out our mortgage needs. From the moment we stepped into the building we were made to feel welcome. From Shae on the front desk to Damian during our appointment. Damian went above and beyond to help us with our needs, explaining things simply and offering further support. It all makes so much more sense when you have someone who knows what they’re talking about! Thank you so much.

Morene Rumble helped my partner and I get our finances in order with a personal loan to start saving for a house. I would highly recommend Morene to everyone, she’s very easy to talk to, friendly and makes you feel very comfortable with any situation.

I found every time I rang the office with a query the phone was answered promptly. Gus and his team stayed in contact at all times either by email or phone just to make sure I had complete understanding of the forms I was signing and the procedures they were taking to finalise the loan. I was never left wondering what happens next.

Craig, Trinity Beach

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.

Scott, Cairns

Friendly and very knowledgeable. Made the whole process of getting our first mortgage easy and relatively stress free. Very prompt communication and excellent rates provided on our mortgage.

Excellent team, all staff were professional and friendly, will definitely use their expertise again and recommend to friends and family.

Laura, Atherton

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!
