Credit Analyst
Mikaela Patterson
Mikaela joined the Entourage team in June 2017, and has been in the finance industry for 14 years overall.
As a qualified Credit Adviser with a Diploma in Finance and Mortgage Broking Management, who also holds her RG146 Financial Planning qualification, Mikaela is uniquely placed to assist clients in a range of areas. In particular, Mikaela is our in-house expert for SMSF Lending and provides unique support to her First Home Buyers, Upgrades and Investors.
One thing Mikaela loves best is educating people on finance and lending in order to help to improve their financial wellness. Her focus is first and foremost helping them to understand their finances by using easy to understand language, so they know exactly what different financial terms mean, and they can make an educated decision on their lending. This approach has seen Mikaela develop and implement a Financial Wellness program that she now runs for a range of corporate businesses across Australia.
The most rewarding part of the job for Mikaela is knowing when she’s really made a difference in someone’s life. In particular, she recently reviewed a new client’s lending and ended up saving them thousands just by pricing their loans with their existing bank, making a huge difference to their livelihood!
