About Us
Finance by Jess began in 2018, opening a small office in the heart of Wagga Wagga. The business quickly became one of Wagga Wagga's Top 3 Mortgage Brokers.
Five years on, Finance by Jess now has offices in both Wagga Wagga and Newcastle.
Jess started her business with a passion and desire to be the change the financial services industry so desperately needed.
Understanding the particulars of finance can be difficult even for those who have been through the process previously. Jess educates you and guides you through the entire transaction, so you feel empowered throughout the process and able to make informed financial decisions.
We are a small team of two passionate and driven women, providing services both face to face and remotely through online platforms.
Finance by Jess aims to support people from all walks of life catering to various age groups and varying financial circumstances.
We can't wait to be a part of your finance journey!
