Director

Ben Collins

Ben works with a loyal client base of high-performing entrepreneurs, providing peace of mind through expert guidance and clear communication. With a sharp analytical mind and a calm, strategic approach, he’s known for making complex finance feel simple.

After two decades in banking with Macquarie, Judo and ANZ, Ben saw the value in serving clients as an independent adviser, not just a lender representative. As a broker, he’s able to align himself with his clients’ interests and help them access the best of both worlds.

Ben takes a long-term, relationship-first approach and has access to a wide panel of lenders. His service goes beyond securing funds – he helps negotiate structure, pricing, covenants and terms that align with each client’s investment goals.

Outside work, Ben enjoys cricket, beach trips with his family, and supporting the Adelaide Crows.

Client Testimonials:

Nathan Brett - Real Estate Dynamics
Ben and his team at Finance Advisory Co are sharp, highly professional, knowledgeable and they achieve great results, fast. Our clients at Real Estate Dynamics have been raving fans for years and recently I borrowed some money using Ben and his company. I have banked with one of the 'big four' for thirty years and even before they could find out who could help me in that organisation, Ben had organised competitive and sensible proposals for me to choose from.

Putting aside the great result for a moment, I was most appreciative of the advice, the help and the professionalism displayed by Ben and his team.

If you want to make your life easier, speak with Ben Collins and his people.

I have been working with Ben Collins for a number of years. I have followed him from Macquarie and Judo now to his solo venture.

Ben has a good mind for strategic finance and has helped me grow my business in both profit and scale. Ben has been fundamental in providing a clear pathway and financial modelling to assist me in securing rent rolls, buying out partners and assisting in an overall strategy for both short and long term goals.

I cannot recommend Ben highly enough, and I welcome a call or email for anyone who needs more specific examples on the A-grade strategy and customer experience I have been privy to.
