Meet the person behind SMG
Hi, I’m Mark, founder of Strategic Money Group, a Queensland-based finance brokerage supporting clients Australia-wide.
My background started in the automotive industry, working my way up from apprentice mechanic through to Senior Business Manager in a leading dealership. It gave me a front-row seat to how finance can be done both well, and not so well.
Over the years, I saw just how much of a difference properly structured finance can make, not just getting approved, but setting people up in a stronger position long term.
Today, I work closely with clients to guide them through important financial decisions with clear, practical advice and a hands-on approach.
Outside of work, I’m a husband to Alysha and a proud father of two young boys, Jack and Hamish, so I understand how important it is to make the right financial decisions for you and your family’s future.
No confusion. No runaround. Just finance done properly.
Strategic finance, done properly.
Strategic Money Group was built on a simple idea, finance should be clear, considered, and structured with purpose.
For many people, the process can feel rushed, confusing, or purely transactional. Too often, the focus is just on getting an approval, without considering how the structure impacts your broader financial position.
SMG takes a different approach.
Every deal is assesed strategically, with a focus on your goals, cash flow, and long-term plans. Whether it’s a vehicle, equipment, or business funding, the aim is to ensure the structure works for you, not just today, but into the future.
The result is a more transparent, straightforward experience — with finance that’s aligned to your situation from the start.
Strategic Approach
We don’t just get approvals, we structure your finance properly based on your goals, cash flow, and long-term position.
Real Industry Experience
With hands-on experience in automotive, sales and finance industries, we understand both sides of the deal, not just what looks good on paper.
Straightforward Process
No confusion. No runaround. Just clear communication and a smooth process from start to finish.
Our Mission is simple
Make finance simple, strategic and stress free
Finance should support your goals, not complicate them.
Whether you're buying your first asset, restructuring finances or scaling your business, our role is to make the process, efficient, and aligned to your long-term plans.
