Meet Your Broker – Alice

Hi, I’m Alice – founder of Cleverly Finance. I’m a mortgage broker with over 14 years of experience in accounting and finance. I started this business to help people turn their goals into reality – whether that’s buying a first home, building an investment portfolio, or funding a business venture.

My journey has taken me across the globe. I was born and raised in Vietnam and began my career as an auditor at a Big 4 firm. In my mid-20s, I moved to the UK to complete a Master’s in Business Management, then worked in corporate finance for a listed company in Singapore. At the start of COVID, I relocated to Australia at age 30 and within a month, I started my own business.

I know what it’s like to start fresh in a new country – and I understand both the challenges and the dreams that many migrants carry with them. As a property investor myself, I’ve also faced the same obstacles many self-employed individuals experience when trying to secure a loan.

Through my work as a virtual CFO and accountant, I’ve supported small business owners across Australia. I also bring a deep understanding of tax laws in Australia as well as in countries like Singapore and Vietnam — knowledge that can be especially helpful for clients with overseas income, foreign assets, or complex tax situations.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, hiking, karaoke, playing board games, reading, snorkelling, travelling, and spending time with my dog. I’m also an active member of the Wanneroo Business Association here in Perth.

If you’re looking for a mortgage broker who understands your journey, speaks your language, and can guide you with care and clarity – I’d love to help.
