The top 10 asset finance brokers in Australia in 2026

First in The Adviser's FY26 asset finance ranking, and the busiest desk on it by a distance: 1,859 loans worth $58.6 million, nearly $10 million more than she settled in FY25. That works out at about $31,500 a loan.

An average that size points to a consumer-heavy book, where speed, process and a steady flow of leads decide the result. More than seven settled loans every working day is a production line, and she's the one running it.

Second, and only $1.5 million behind first place on about a quarter of the loans: 487 settlements worth $57.1 million in FY26, at an average of $117,248.

That average reads more like vehicles and equipment for businesses than family cars, though The Adviser doesn't break the book down. Either way it's a different job from the one above it, with fewer clients and more riding on each deal.

Third, with 770 loans worth $52.6 million in FY26 at an average of about $68,000.

This sits between the two models on the list. It's enough volume to need a real process behind it, and a big enough ticket that each deal still gets worked properly rather than pushed through.

Fourth, with $44.9 million from 95 loans in FY26. That's fewer than two settlements a week, at an average of $472,454.

A ticket that size is closer to commercial lending than to a car loan. Each deal carries its own structure and credit story, so the skill is in the file rather than the phone.

Fifth, with 333 loans worth $44.2 million in FY26, less than $1 million behind fourth place on three and a half times the loans.

The average of $132,653 puts this in the middle of the market: bigger than consumer car lending, well short of the specialist end. It's a book that needs both volume and judgement, which is harder to hire for than either on its own.

Two loans. That's the whole FY26 entry, and it was worth $38.7 million, an average of $19.35 million a deal and enough for sixth. He was also named Commercial Broker of the Year at the 2026 Australian Broking Awards.

This is the clearest proof that the ranking measures dollars, not deals. Our read is that it's big-ticket, structured finance sitting nearer corporate lending than anything else on the list, and it's a completely different hire from the brokers ranked either side of him.

Seventh, with exactly 500 loans worth $35.0 million in FY26, at an average of $70,013.

The shape is close to the third-placed book at a smaller scale: steady volume at a mid-range ticket. It's the model most growing asset finance brokerages are trying to build.

Eighth, with 59 loans worth $27.8 million in FY26, at an average of $470,386.

He and the next broker on the list come from the same brokerage, wrote the same number of loans and averaged within about $21,000 of each other. That looks like a house model: one deal type, written the same way by more than one broker, which is the kind of desk that can train a new hire into it.

Ninth, with 59 loans worth $26.5 million in FY26, at an average of $449,112.

It's the same pattern as the card above, and two brokers from one firm landing back to back is rarer than it sounds. It suggests the volume belongs to a repeatable system as much as to any one person.

Tenth, and the cut-off for the top ten: $25.8 million from 77 loans in FY26, at an average of $335,358.

Another big-ticket book, which makes seven of the top ten averaging more than $100,000 a loan. Asset finance at the top of this ranking is mostly business lending, not car loans.
