Member

BM Financial Group

I joined the team at BM Financial to handle all commercial and business loans. In this time I was able to expand my knowledge of all lenders policies and ensure that clients were presented with the best solution based on their individual needs.

Commercial Finance Broker

National Australia Bank

Starting at NAB on the graduate program of 2001 for six intense months, I was exposed to all jobs within the bank from teller, documentation, filing, home loans, business loans and transactional banking. After successfully completing the graduate program I was appointed to Business Banking Officer at Marrickville. 

Climbing the ranks to Credit Analyst, Relationship Manager in Corporate, Business Banking Manager In Custom Business and finally completing my tenure at the bank as Senior Business Banking Manager. 

Ten years came and went, and on ten years and one day, long service leave was taken and I decided to see what else was out there. 

In my last role at nab I was responsible for the management of a portfolio of medium to large sized commercial enterprises with turnover ranging between $10m and $100m+ per annum. Portfolio size was $125m+ in both deposits in lending.

•	Sales/Revenue: The main KPI in this role. To promote the bank’s products through to existing clients, in order to achieve revenue, specialist, lending & deposit targets. Portfolio generated $4m+ in underlying profit per annum. 
•	Maintain and Develop Relationships: with current clients & commercial lending introducers (Brokers, Solicitors, and Accountants). Manage and increase portfolio of introducers through proactive calling, the attendance of industry events and through referrals. Ensure that the relationship with both internal & external clients is developed & nurtured through efficient service and clarity of process & policy.

Senior Business Banking Manager 

Embarking on my entrepreneurial journey at the tender age of 11, I discovered my flair for business by selling avocados harvested from my backyard tree to the local fruit shop. The excitement of filling my backpack with green treasures and making the three-block trek to Bay Street was not just about making a sale; it was the initiation into a world of negotiation and understanding the dynamics of commerce.

While the avocado venture was fruitful, it also taught me valuable lessons. One defining moment occurred when the shop owner proposed paying me less per avocado—an early lesson in the concept of purchasing power. This experience laid the foundation for a business mindset that would evolve and flourish in the years to come.

Transitioning from avocados, I found a new avenue for profit in high school, trading basketball cards. The thrill of strategic trading and turning a profit fueled my passion for business. Post-university, I ventured into the 'real' world, embarking on a diverse career path that traversed a graduate program in business and corporate banking, finance broking within an accountancy firm, and exploring the intricacies of investing. Each experience equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the nuances of commercial lending.

The realisation dawned on me that my true calling lay on the other side of the table, from the perspective of a business owner. This realisation led to the creation of Peak Capital, a venture dedicated to specialising in Commercial Lending. Our approach is comprehensive; we have access to an extensive network of bank, non-bank, and private options, allowing us to find innovative solutions for even the most challenging loans.

At Peak Capital, our commitment is unwavering. We do what it takes to get the job done, and in the rare instance when we can't, we are transparent about it. Our ethos revolves around direct, honest, and results-oriented interactions.

If you are in need of a commercial loan, or if you have a client seeking financial solutions, and appreciate a direct, honest, and results-driven approach, don't hesitate to reach out.

🏀 INTRODUCING RICHARD PLANCA — THE LENDERS’ #23 🏀

The Lenders just added serious firepower to their roster — and he’s wearing one of the most iconic numbers in basketball.

Richard Planca, rocking the #23, brings the perfect mix of strength, hustle, and pure bucket-getting ability.

On defence?

Richard is a wall. Tough, physical, and relentless — the kind of defender who makes scorers second-guess every move.

On offence?

He’s got range for days. Deep 3s, confidence under pressure, and that fearless mentality you want when the game is on the line.

And standing next to MJ himself?

Let’s just say the energy is fitting. 🔥

The Lenders have secured a player who makes it happen on both ends of the floor — a difference-maker, a tone-setter, and someone every team wants but only one team gets.

Welcome to the team, Richard. The #23 legacy is in good hands. 🏀💥

From 11 years of age I was an avid businessman, selling avocados from my backyard tree to the local fruit shop. I would get as many squashed into my backpack and make the three block journey to Bay Street.

And although business is awesome, sometimes you learn hard lessons. Just like when the shop owner turned to me and told me he was going to pay me less per avocado. I had no other buyers, so I quickly learnt about purchasing power.

Moving on from the avocado business I traded basketball cards in high school (for a profit of course!), and after uni, I then went into the ‘real’ world.

From a graduate program in business and corporate banking to finance broking within an accountancy firm and even some investing I learnt ALL the commercial lending ropes with a deep understanding of the business ins and outs.

Ultimately I learnt that I wanted to be on the other side of the table from the bank, to be a business owner myself. So, I started Peak Capital.

We specialise in Commercial Lending. Having access to bank/ non-bank and other private options, we rely on our experience and find solutions for even the most difficult loans.

🔥 Starting 5 Announcement: Chris Slack | Brokers Team 🔥

CAFBA 5v5 Tournament

Few people in our industry combine execution, integrity and influence the way Chris Slack does - so it’s only fitting he steps straight into the Starting 5 for the Brokers in the inaugural Brokers vs Lenders Basketball Game! 🏀💛

Chris is not just a top performer - he’s a true thought leader who consistently lifts the standard across all things finance.

Whether it’s strategy, client outcomes or industry collaboration, Chris is the person people look to for clarity, leadership and results.

Today he picked up his official Brokers #50 jersey, standing right in front of 

Michael Jordan’s famous quote:
“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, and others make it happen.”

 Perfectly fitting — because Chris is absolutely someone who makes it happen.
💛 Team: Brokers
 💛 Position: Starting 5
 💛 Strength: Leadership, vision & big-game temperament
 💛 Awards: Industry Thought-Leader Winner

The Brokers squad just got a whole lot stronger.

🏀 SAM MANDOUKOS — THE LEBRON JAMES OF BANKING 🏀

Some players just play the game.
Others change the game.
Sam Mandoukos is firmly in the second category.

With 24 years at NAB - and more than 15 seasons captaining the NAB basketball team - Sam is officially coming out of basketball retirement for the CAFBA 5v5 Exhibition Tournament.

If banking had a LeBron James, it would be Sam.
 - Dominant in the low post.
 - A rebounding machine.
 - High IQ playmaker.
 - And a leader every team wishes they had.

Now he’s stepping back onto the hardwood where it all started - the court he ruled for over a decade. And trust me… the footwork, the strength, and the inside game haven’t gone anywhere.

We’re pumped to have Sam representing the Lenders in this year’s showdown.

The big man is BACK. 💪🔥

Welcome home, Sam.

🏀 WARAN CHANDIRAN - THE SEASONED VETERAN WITH THE SMOOTHEST JUMPSHOT IN FINANCE 🏀

Some players bring experience.
Some bring leadership.
Waran brings both - then hits a jumper so silky it should be trademarked.

A long-standing force in every finance basketball comp, Waran Chandiran is the definition of a seasoned veteran. Calm, composed, and dangerous from anywhere on the floor, his jump shot is pure poetry in motion. Contest it, don’t contest it - the result is usually the same. Buckets.

Waran will be suiting up for the Lenders in the CAFBA 5v5 Tournament - rocking the iconic red jersey - and let’s just say the Brokers should start revising their defensive schemes now.

High-level leadership.
Smooth shooting mechanics.
Unshakeable under pressure.
Waran is the backbone every team dreams of.

Good luck to anyone trying to slow him down. 🔥

🏀 JOHN ENCINA - THE DEFENSIVE MENACE EVERY SCORER FEARS 🏀

Some players bring hustle.
Some bring speed.
John brings both - and then locks you up before you even cross half-court.

Introducing John Encina, the Lenders’ defensive nightmare and one of the quickest players in the CAFBA 5v5 Tournament. If you’re bringing the ball up the floor, prepare for trouble… because nothing gets past this man.

Lightning-fast feet.
Relentless pressure.
Elite anticipation.
John turns defence into instant offence - and makes every scorer rethink their entire game plan.

This year he suits up in the iconic red #2 jersey for the Lenders, and trust me, guards across the finance industry are already having nightmares. If you’re loose with the ball, expect it to be going the other way.

Speed. Tenacity. Defence that sticks like glue.
John is the kind of player every team wants… and every opponent wishes would stay home. 🔥

Players. Sponsors. Community. Basketball.

See you on the court. 🏀💛🖤

🏀 WITH THE 3RD PICK IN THE BROKERS DRAFT… THE BROKERS SELECT JOSEPH DAOUD 🏀

The draft board is heating up — and with Pick #3, the Brokers have locked in one of the sharpest operators in the game: Joseph Daoud.

Joseph isn’t just a broker… he’s a strategist, a floor general, and a natural leader who knows how to read the play long before it develops. Whether it’s structuring complex deals or setting up the perfect assist, he brings elite-level vision and calm execution.

On the court, expect finesse.

In the industry, expect excellence.

For the Brokers, expect impact from Day 1.

This pick brings championship pedigree to the squad — and the yellow jersey looks very much at home on him.

Welcome to the team, Joseph. Let’s get to work. 🏀🔥

🏀 Lenders Spotlight: Sam Akram 🏀

CAFBA 5v5 Tournament

Jersey #1

Say hello to Sam A. - the newest addition to the Lenders squad and a man who looks ready to drop buckets on 10 December.

Sam rocks the #1 jersey for a reason:
🔥 smooth game
🔥 high IQ player
🔥 calm under pressure
🔥 quietly confident but dangerous on the court

Don’t let the suit fool you - once Sam steps on the hardwood, it’s all business. The Lenders just gained a reliable shooter, a crafty playmaker, and someone who knows how to make the right play at the right time.

Welcome to the team, Sam.

Lenders fans… you’ve got a good one.

🏀 PETER NIKOLAOU - THE COMEBACK IS ALWAYS BIGGER THAN THE SETBACK 🏀

Three years ago, I tore my ACL playing basketball.

No running. No jumping. No training.

Just rehab… and patience.

But that setback became the spark. With the help of Lockeroom Gym, disciplined recovery, and a mantra I repeated every single day - “The comeback is bigger than the setback” - I’m officially game ready again.

And then something surreal happened…

Walking through the NBA Store and seeing my Brokers #34 singlet hanging next to Luka Dončić’s jersey was a genuine dream come true. 😉 

Never thought I’d see the day - but here we are.

Now I’m thrilled to be suiting up for the Brokers in the inaugural CAFBA 5v5 Brokers vs Lenders Basketball Game.

It’s wild to think this all started as a casual pub conversation with Chris Slack at a CAFBA end-of-year drinks night…

And has now turned into one of the most anticipated events in the finance industry.

A big thank you to Annie Kane and The Adviser Magazine for covering the event.

🏀 BREAKING: BROKERS & LENDERS MERCH HAS OFFICIALLY DROPPED AT THE NBA STORE 😂🏀

Well… sort of.

After spotting my Brokers #34 singlet hanging next to Luka Dončić’s jersey in the NBA Store (true story, photo evidence attached 😎) and seeing the Lenders #33 sitting proudly beside Scottie Pippen… I’m pleased to announce that our CAFBA 5v5 merch is officially:
👉 NOT available in stores anywhere.
 👉 But absolutely available in my imagination.

Apparently Nike told me they “weren’t ready” for the explosive demand of the Peak Capital x NBA x Lenders x Brokers collaboration.

Fair enough. I get it.

But for one glorious moment, I stood in the NBA Store pretending both Brokers and Lenders merch had dropped worldwide - and honestly, it felt right.

If anyone wants to preorder the limited-edition kit, please see:

🏀 TONY CABEZAS — THE FINANCE GURU WITH THE DEADLIEST JUMPSHOT IN THE GAME 🏀

Some players bring strategy.
Some bring skill.

Tony brings both - and then drains the shot in your face.

Known across the industry as a finance guru, Tony Cabezas is also a certified basketball sharp-shooter. The man simply doesn’t miss. Mid-range, corner three, off-balance, hand-in-his-face… it doesn’t matter. If the ball leaves his hands, you may as well add the points to the scoreboard.

Tony will be suiting up for the Brokers in the CAFBA 5v5 Exhibition Tournament - wearing the iconic yellow #1 jersey — and trust me, defenders should start studying their scouting reports now.

High basketball IQ.
Elite shooting.
Ice-cold under pressure.
Tony is the weapon every team wishes they had.

Good luck to anyone trying to guard him. 🔥

Every great team needs youthful energy, sharp instincts, and someone ready to make big plays when it matters most. For the Lenders, that person is Jordan He, Mobile Lender at Bendigo Bank — and one of the fastest-rising talents in the industry.

Jordan brings a rare combination of professionalism, enthusiasm, and natural leadership. He’s the type of player who studies the game, learns fast, and elevates everyone around him. In banking circles, he’s already earning a reputation for his client care, attention to detail, and relentless work ethic.

And on the court?

Let’s just say his jersey number already looks right at home next to MJ himself. 🔥

Jordan represents the next generation of lenders - hungry, driven, and ready to take the shot when the team needs it most. Expect him to be a future lending all-star both in business and in the Brokers vs Lenders showdown.

Welcome to the squad, Jordan! 💼🏀

The future looks very, very bright.

🏀 GEORGE KOKALEVSKI — FROM FOOTBALL BOOTS TO BASKETBALL SHOES 🏀

Some athletes don’t just switch sports… they upgrade their skillset.

George Kokalevski is officially hanging up the football boots and lacing up the basketball shoes for the CAFBA Brokers vs Lenders Game - and the big question is:

Do football skills translate onto the basketball court?

If you’ve seen George play, you already know the answer is yes.

⚽️ Elite footwork
⚽️ Strength through contact
⚽️ Spatial awareness
⚽️ Explosive first step
⚽️ Competitiveness that doesn’t switch off

Now put all that onto a basketball court…
Let’s just say defenders might be in for a long afternoon.

Here he is at the NBA Store in Sydney, casually picking up his singlet like it’s a transfer signing day.
Number 33. Bold red. Straight into the starting lineup energy.

George is ready. Let the crossover game begin. 🏀🔥

🏀 CHRISTIAN ALEXANDER — FROM MASTERS ATHLETICS TO THE HARDWOOD 🏀

 #24 – Lenders Team | CAFBA 5v5

Some athletes specialise.

Christian Alexander refuses to.

Fresh off competing in Masters Athletics in the throwing events - where power, timing, precision, and explosive movement are everything - he’s now bringing that same competitive engine straight onto the basketball court for the CAFBA 5v5 game.

And honestly… defenders should be worried.

Because the crossover between throwing and basketball is real:
🔥 Explosive Strength – The same force behind a discus throw is now powering Christian into the lane.
 🎯 Technical Precision – Throwing events demand perfect mechanics… which translates beautifully into consistent shooting form.
 🏋🏽 Full-Body Power Transfer – Generating force from the ground up is how you win in both sports.
 🧠 Mental Discipline – Athletics is a solitary battle. Basketball is a team war. Christian thrives in both.

Add a competitive mindset and the work ethic of someone who trains to master a craft, and you’ve got a serious weapon on the Lenders roster.

And let’s be honest… any man confident enough to pose with his #24 Lenders jersey in front of Michael Jordan is absolutely ready to put on a show. 😎

Welcome to the court, Christian.

Let’s see how far that Masters power can take you. 💪🔥

What is a balloon payment when purchasing a car?

A balloon payment is the last payment you make on that facility or equipment finance.

Many clients would choose a balloon payment because they want to have the minimum monthly payment throughout the life of the loan.
