What Our Clients Say

Here’s what some of our clients have shared about their experience with Advanced Finance Group.

Andre did what everyone else couldn’t, he got us finance for a very “out of the box” project that no one else could get us funding for. We are so grateful to Andre for the hoops he jumped through to secure the finance for us!

Darren

CEO Interstate Freight Company

QLD, Australia

[Corporate Advisory + Outsourced CFO Services]

It was represented to me by many professionals in the finance industry that my finance could not be placed.

André treated me with empathy, qualified me to fully understand my circumstances and delivered in 7 days!

André worked tirelessly and delivered on time.

Max

Owner Agriculture Business

NSW, Australia

[Equipment Finance]

André’s support throughout the process of finding and purchasing our home was incredible!

He was already among the best I have encountered in his field; but it was the extra level of service that really made him stand out. André has a strong relationship with several real estate agents who he sent details of our preferences for a home. This led to a series of targeted homes being presented to us, including new listings.

I would not hesitate to recommend André.
