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.

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.

Was very happy with the refinancing of my home loan. Anthony took the time to show us a range of options and then work with us to understand the pros and cons of each; including the impact over a number of years. Will use again.

Anthony and the FWD team gave excellent and transparent advice, putting our own best outcomes first when looking at the options to refinance. Their guidance to help work through the paperwork was super helpful, and great communication following submission.
