About Anthony Sloan

Anthony Sloan is a Canberra Mortgage Broker and Financial Adviser with more than 25 years of experience across finance, banking, private wealth, risk management and financial advice.

As the Founder of FWD Financial, Anthony helps professionals, public servants, defence personnel and business owners structure home loans, refinance mortgages and build long-term wealth through strategic lending advice.

Anthony specialises in:
• Home loans and refinancing
• Investment property finance
• Construction and complex lending scenarios
• SMSF and commercial lending
• Lending solutions for professionals, public servants and business owners

Unlike many mortgage brokers who focus primarily on comparing interest rates, Anthony takes a strategy-first approach to lending. He believes a home loan is not simply a transaction, but a structural financial decision that can influence long-term flexibility, investment capacity and wealth creation.

Based in Canberra, Anthony regularly assists clients with more complex lending scenarios involving allowances, variable income structures, executive remuneration packages and overseas postings. Clients value his calm, methodical approach and his ability to simplify complex lender policy into clear and practical next steps.

FWD stands for Finance + Wealth + Direction - a philosophy built around helping clients move forward with clarity, confidence and financial momentum.

Beyond mortgage broking, Anthony has also served in Secretariat and Trustee representative roles across charitable foundations and trusts, reflecting his long-standing commitment to community and governance.

Outside of work, Anthony enjoys spending time with family and friends, training in CrossFit, fly fishing and hiking in the outdoors.
Anthony and FWD Financial were recently featured in the Canberra Times’ “Best Mortgage Brokers in Canberra” and “How Anthony Sloan’s 25 years of experience sets him apart as a broker” articles, recognising the firm’s strategic lending expertise and strong reputation within the Canberra market.

I was referred to Anthony Sloan at FWD Financial by a friend in Canberra who had also successfully utilized his services, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Securing an Australian investment property home loan while residing overseas as an Australian expat presents significant challenges, yet Anthony managed the entire process flawlessly. He has a profound understanding of lending policies and the unique financial frameworks that diplomats, foreign income earners, and overseas buyers must navigate. Despite the distance and time zones, Anthony maintained daily contact to ensure I was fully informed at every stage. He also communicated on a weekly basis with my conveyancer in Melbourne to ensure things were progressing smoothly. His responses to my innumerable queries were always meticulous, comprehensive, and thoroughly developed. When I was briefly back in Australia to finalise my purchase, he went above and beyond by taking my daily calls to ensure everything remained on track. Thanks to his efficiency and sound relationship with the lenders, he successfully accelerated my non-resident home loan from pre-approved to unconditional status in a matter of days. For any client—whether an Aussie expat or a local resident navigating either a typical or a complex lending scenario—I highly recommend Anthony for his unparalleled professionalism and mortgage broker expertise.

Anthony supported me through the process of purchasing my first home, and he was absolutely brilliant in terms of how he mentored and guided me through all of the challenges and administrative hurdles. It took me longer than expected to find my home, and Anthony patiently and warmly coached me through the emotional ups and downs of being at auctions and placing offers on homes I was not successful in securing. In the end, I found a great little starter home, and it has been a very happy purchase. I can't recommend Anthony and FWD Financial enough! He genuinely made the process more enjoyable, more human, and less overwhelming. I couldn't have done it without him!

We worked with Anthony as our broker for our new home purchase and had a really great experience. As first-time home buyers, we had lots of questions, but he was always very patient and took the time to explain everything clearly. He went the extra step to help us with our unique situation and made the whole process much smoother than we expected. His guidance and communication were excellent throughout. Really appreciate his support and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable broker.

I Highly recommend Anthony Sloane. None of my questions felt silly or unimportant. He is really approachable and I know I am in safe hands. I am much more confident making big financial decisions with his help. I feel very fortunate he was recomended to me.

Such great service. Anthony spent time understanding our needs so he could provide what we need. So far from a cookie cutter process that I can’t recommend Anthony enough.

Anthony from FWD Financial was instrumental in helping me navigate the refinancing of my mortgage to get me a much better deal that aligned closely with my digital-first approach and alignment with socially conscious financial practices. …
