Who I work with

Referrers

Accountants & Professional Advisers

If you have a client with a funding need, acquisition in mind, or a balance sheet that needs restructuring — I'm the person you refer them to. I protect your relationship, keep you informed, and work alongside you as trusted partners.

Founders & Operators

SME Founders & Business Owners

You've built something valuable. Now you want to grow it, buy a competitor, or plan your exit. I help you understand the options, engage the right capital partners, and negotiate best outcomes.

Finance Leaders

CFOs & Finance Directors

Acting as an extension of your team for specific transactions — bringing lender relationships, market intelligence, and execution capacity when your internal bandwidth is stretched or the deal demands specialist input.

Capital Providers

Private Credit & Lenders

I present deals with discipline — well-structured briefing notes, accurate financials, and borrowers who understand their own numbers. If you want quality deal flow, I'd welcome a conversation.

A bit about me

I'm a Partner at Nexus Advisory, based in Sydney. My work sits at the intersection of commercial finance, entrepreneurship, and strategic business advice — with a focus on the SME market where good advice is often hard to find at the scale founders actually need.

I've spent over 20 years working as an investment banker, entrepreneur and debt advisor. What I bring isn't just market knowledge and experience — it's the ability to read a room, structure a conversation, and get deals across the finish line.

Beyond the desk

When I'm not working on deals, I'm spending time with family and training. The structured discipline of endurance sports shapes how I approach my work — playing the long game, being consistent and embracing setbacks.
