About Jonathan
Jonathan is the Founder and Managing Director of FGO Finance Group, a Melbourne-based finance brokerage helping Australian businesses and individuals access the right lending solutions.
Before founding FGO, Jonathan built his career in commercial banking. Most recently he worked at Judo Bank on the business banking side of SME and acquisition lending, working with clients from sub-$1M facilities through to deals needing tens of millions in funding. Prior to that, he was at NAB (National Australia Bank), working with business clients across a range of industries on their debt and funding, and developing deep knowledge and experience in business banking, commercial lending, and credit assessment. Across both roles, Jonathan gained an insider's understanding of how banks assess risk, structure deals, and make lending decisions, knowledge he now uses to help clients navigate the lending market from the other side of the table.
At FGO, Jonathan works across the full service range, from commercial finance and business loans through to home loans and acquisition finance. He works closely with business owners, property investors, and first home buyers to structure lending solutions across FGO's panel of 20+ lenders. His banking background means he understands what lenders are looking for and can package applications in a way that maximises the chance of approval on competitive terms.
Jonathan is focused on giving clients access to options they would not find by walking into a single bank. Whether it is a first home buyer comparing rates or a business owner structuring a $10M commercial deal, he brings the same level of attention and professionalism to every client.
