James and Jaharah were fantastic to deal with and made the process of buying our new home seamless. They ensured we were kept up to date throughout the entire process - highly recommend!

Brady Sayer

We are so glad to have Yarra Lane in our corner! Sam Bye has been our accountant for a couple of years now, and Ivana Mijac recently helped us secure our next home. Both individuals are so helpful, professional and a wealth of knowledge. We love how Yarra Lane has a number of different arms within the business, looking at your finances from every angle rather than just one area. We feel so confident now with our financial goals, knowing we have a wonderful team of experts just a phone call away. Highly recommend & thanks Yarra Lane!

Mark Winiarski

Brilliant service from Chris, Aartee, Trisha and the team. Made us feel very comfortable through the process, were very responsive to our needs and questions and importantly got us a great outcome. Highly recommend!

Hannah Christensen

Yarra Lane Group is brilliant and we couldn’t be happier with the service we’ve received. After our initial financial advice, Yarra Lane helped us with our tax and refinancing our mortgage. Every single person who has helped us had been an absolute joy to deal with. Quick to respond and happy to explain when we didn’t understand something. David Moloney is particularly wonderful and we are managing our finances so much better based on his advice. Aartee and Trisha were amazing when we refinanced. I’d give 10 stars if Google review would let me!

Sarah H

We had a fantastic experience with Yarra Lane. The team, in particular Ivana, really went above and beyond to organise us and help us understand all our options and loan details from start to end. We absolutely recommend.

Jack Nguyen

James, Jaharah and the whole team at Avant-Garde made my entire loan process absolutely seamless from start to finish. No question was too silly, everything was delivered clearly and promptly, would 100% have and recommend their assistance again without hesitation.
