Mel helps clients navigate complex finance decisions with calm, clarity and practical advice.
With nearly 20 years in banking and finance, Mel brings a rare mix of lender-side experience, broker-side strategy and real-world understanding to the Manson team. Before joining Manson Financial Services, she worked as a Senior Commercial Banker with a Big 4 bank, giving her a strong understanding of how lenders assess applications and what makes a finance application easier to support.
Mel works across commercial lending, business acquisition finance, commercial property finance, asset and equipment finance, residential lending, refinancing, SMSF lending and more complex lending structures. She often supports business owners, self-employed borrowers, investors and healthcare professionals, including doctors, dentists and pharmacists.
Her approach is straight-talking, transparent and solutions-focused. She is calm under pressure, highly responsive and detail-focused, but she also knows how to explain complex lending in a way that feels simple and useful. For clients, that means less stress, clearer decisions and a lending strategy built around the bigger picture.
Outside work, Mel is a proud mum to Sadie and stepmum to Bailey. She grew up in the Yarra Valley, has a lifelong passion for horses and the equestrian community, and believes strong relationships sit at the heart of both business and life.
Mel supports clients across Melbourne, Greater Melbourne, regional Victoria and Australia-wide by phone or video. Good fit for business owners, healthcare professionals, self-employed borrowers, commercial property investors and clients with complex lending needs.
One of Mel’s greatest strengths lies in her ability to turn complex lending situations into practical, lender-ready finance strategies that clients can understand and act on.
Mel helps business owners and investors structure lending for business growth, acquisitions, commercial property ownership and working capital needs. She focuses on building lender-ready applications that support the client’s goals.
Mel supports healthcare professionals with lending strategies for practice purchases, commercial property, equipment finance and broader personal or business lending needs. Her experience across healthcare banking helps clients make use of specialist lender policies where appropriate.
Mel works with business owners and borrowers whose circumstances do not always fit a standard lending model. This may include companies, trusts, multiple entities, SMSF structures and scenarios where a more strategic approach is needed.
