We combine decades of industry expertise with a deeply human approach.

That means:

  • Line drawing of a piggy bank with a dollar coin above it, inside a circular border.

    No jargon. No judgment.

    Just clear, personalised financial support you can actually understand and apply.

  • Line drawing of a calculator with a dollar sign coin in front.

    We dig deep on the numbers, because the numbers don’t lie.

    Your finances should support your wellbeing, not compromise it.

  • Line drawing of a lightbulb with a dollar sign inside, symbolizing ideas for financial or monetary innovation.

    We empower, not pressure.

    You're always in control of the financial decisions you make, we're just here to guide you wisely.

Responsible lending and acting in your best interest

At New Leaf, we believe that trust is everything. When it comes to your finances, you deserve more than just advice. You deserve guidance that’s grounded in integrity, understanding and expertise.

As licensed finance brokers, we are bound by the Best Interest Duty — a legal obligation to act in your best interest when providing credit assistance. That means every recommendation we make is designed to serve you, not the lender or ourselves.

What you can expect from us

We take the time to understand your unique needs, goals, and circumstances, and carefully consider your long-term wellbeing, giving you the information, context, and support you need to make truly informed decisions. It means being honest about your options, transparent about our process, and committed to doing what’s right, even when it’s the slower path.

Here's what that looks like in practice:

  • Icon of a speaker inside a circle, with sound waves indicating volume or sound projection.

    We listen first — deeply and without judgment

  • Icon of three stylized persons within a circle, representing a group or community.

    We offer honest, personalised advice (even when it means saying “wait”)

  • Outline of a light bulb with three lines resembling rays of light around it, enclosed in a circle.

    We explain everything in clear, human language — no waffle, no jargon, no assumptions

  • Line drawing of a hand holding a house inside a circle.

    We advocate for your long-term wellbeing, not quick wins

  • Minimalist line drawing of two hands gently holding each other inside a circle.

    We support you beyond the paperwork, because the real journey starts after approval.

How we show up

  • Shield icon with a percentage symbol inside, representing insurance or protection.

    Our vision

    We envision a world where money feels less like pressure and more like possibility; where people move through life with financial freedom, not fear.

  • Line drawing of a rocket ship inside a circle.

    Our mission

    We exist to make finance feel human again through real conversations, real relationships, and real results that ignite financial fitness, create confidence, and forge fearless financial futures.

Our values

  • A woman holding a young girl with curly hair, smiling and playing with her, while a man stands in the background smiling in a bright, cozy living room with large windows and sheer curtains.

    Human before numbers

    We see people, not paperwork. We honour the story behind the spreadsheet and offer advice that reflects your real life, goals and dreams.

  • Two people working on data analysis with charts and graphs on a wooden table, using calculators, smartphones, and a tablet.

    Clarity over complexity

    We believe clear is kind. That’s why we strip away the lingo and replace it with plain language, grounded explanations, and space to ask every question (twice, if needed).

  • Two men shaking hands in a professional setting, with other people clapping in the background.

    Strategy with soul

    Every solution we offer is both smart and soulful, grounded in data, but deeply attuned to your values, objectives, and peace-of-mind.

  • A happy couple meeting with a real estate agent in a bright, modern living room that opens to a balcony with outdoor furniture and a view of water.

    Connection creates confidence

    Real relationships lead to better results. We prioritise trust, honesty, and deep listening, because when you feel truly supported, you make better choices.

  • A man with glasses, a beard, and a short haircut, sitting at a wooden desk in a modern office with large windows, smiling and gesturing toward his laptop. There are green plants on the desk and in the background, along with a glass of water.

    Empowerment through education

    We don’t just tell you what to do, we help you understand why. Because when you feel informed, you feel in charge, and that changes everything.

    Progress over perfection

    We don’t expect you to have it all figured out. We honour small steps, celebrate learning, and believe meaningful change comes from momentum, not mastery.
