Why AFN Corporate Finance?
What we do
For more than 40 years I’ve worked with business owners, professional practices, and financial institutions to help them buy, grow and transition their businesses with confidence.
AFN Corporate Finance was established to provide independent, relationship‑based advice to clients who want more than a transactional broker — they want a trusted advisor who understands the full picture.
My focus is on professional practices (particularly accountancy firms), and SMEs valued between $500k and $10m with acquisition finance, exit planning, debtor management and more
I help owners define their needs, define, understand and navigate the process, costs and timeframes, secure the right funding, structure transactions effectively, and plan strategically for long‑term success. Post settlement we'll continue the journey with you.
How we can help you...
My Background
Across four decades in the finance industry, I’ve worked at a senior level in:
- Business finance
- Commercial property & development lending
- Equipment finance
- Practice acquisition funding
- Working capital and cashflow solutions
- Strategic planning and business advisory
This experience gives me a deep understanding of how lenders think, how deals are assessed, and what owners need to prepare to achieve the best outcome. I’ve supported hundreds of transactions — from partner buy‑ins to full practice acquisitions — and advised owners through growth, restructuring and succession.
How I Work
My approach is simple:
Independent. Practical. Experienced. I work for my clients, not the lender. I take the time to understand your business, your goals and your challenges. Then I help you navigate the process, structure your transaction, and plan the next steps with clarity.
Clients value my ability to:
- Translate complex financial issues into clear decisions
- Manage the entire funding process end‑to‑end
- Negotiate with lenders on structure, pricing and terms
- Provide strategic guidance beyond the transaction
- Bring calm, experienced judgement to important decisions
Who I Work With
- Accounting and professional services practices
- Medical and allied health practices
- SMEs with enterprise value between $500k and $5m
- Partners seeking buy‑in or buy‑out funding
- Owners planning growth, restructuring or exit
What I Believe
Buying, growing or transitioning a business is one of the most important decisions an owner will make. The right structure, the right funding and the right advice can make the difference between a smooth, successful outcome — and a costly, stressful one.
My role is to help you make those decisions with confidence.
