Daryn started in the finance industry in the 90’s, working for ANZ as a senior lender.
After leaving and travelling Europe for 6 months, he had a number of roles in the industry before landing at St George Bank where he worked as senior lender, lending champion and finally as the team leader of the Broker Mortgage Services (BMS) unit. During Daryn’s five years with St George Bank, he was ranked as the number two lender in the country in terms of approved deals and won a number of awards within the bank.
Daryn was then approached by The Practice, an accounting firm in inner Melbourne, and commenced there in 2009 as the Finance Manager, heading up their finance broking team. Daryn transformed and grew the business over the next five years to a very successful division and learned a lot along the way, working closely with the firm’s large team of accountants and financial planners. Daryn regularly prepared articles for the firm’s website and wrote pieces for both SEN radio and the Living Room on channel 10. He was also a member of The Practice Wealth Management Investment committee.
In 2014, the business Trusted Finance Solutions was set up and in 2022, Daryn made it into the MPA Top 100 Brokers in Australia by settling over $140 million in residential loans for the year.

My partner and I recently worked with Daryn to buy our first home. He was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process, always prompt in replying, providing clarity, and taking the time to make sure we understood different options and structures. I would highly recommend TFS to anyone looking to buy their first home and be supported throughout the journey.

I think most people would agree that applying for a loan, finding the property, buying and jumping into the property market is very hard. My partner Leigh and I didn’t know much about this including the gibberish terminologies involved but we could not be happier with the assistance we received from Daryn Heffernan of Trusted Finance Solutions. We applied for a home-loan for our first home through Daryn. His clarity, knowledge and precision to detail made the process smooth and completely hassle-free. Daryn always explained the next step in the application process and broke-down structural/financial concepts in a way that made sense. His positive guidance and explaining of various options left us feeling confident. Daryn was able to explain to us in simple terms every detail and options available to us. He was very patient and payed close attention to our needs and helped us work out the best way forward. It made buying a property seamless when we finally made that dream purchase. We are so delighted with the end product, a land and a home that fits all our needs. Our happiness is through the roof when we finally got the dream home we wanted on a great deal that we feel confident tackling moving forward. To anyone who’s wanting to purchase their dream home and needs professional guidance. I have no hesitation to highly recommend Daryn at Trusted Finance Solutions. Leigh and I is very happy for the friendly-professional and exceptional service. Thank you so much Daryn.

We all want to get the best lending rate and this takes time to research. You might have questions like; Which bank?, whats the best rate? Can I consolidate debt?, is fixed better than variable? Look no further than Trusted Finance Solutions. Daryn thoroughly explained each product and suggested which one would be best for us. Daryn consolidated our loans and was able to get the best rate possible. Thanks Daryn.

Short Review - Very personalised excellent service Long review - I contacted various companies about home loans for Teachers, and Daryn from Trusted emailed me back. I originally was going to go through LENDI, but I was not feeling like they were putting much effort in and not getting fast replies. I then chose to contact Daryn at TFS, only because he emailed me back already I figured I would try them next, I gave him a call and even though we had never talked on the phone and before I even said a word, he answered the phone with "hello Scott" that means he put my name & number in his phone on the off chance I contact him. I really felt like he cared and wanted to help me. that was the primary reason I went with hi m, and since then he has always answered my calls personally and replied to all emails quickly. ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT he got me the home loan I was after. so fair to say really good service.

We had the pleasure of working with Daryn and were thoroughly impressed by his professionalism, expertise, and dedication throughout the entire process. With his guidance and knowledge, we were able to secure our dream home. Despite significant time constraints, Daryn went above and beyond — even working through his Christmas break — to ensure everything was completed efficiently and without delay. He navigated and overcame every obstacle with diligence and skill. We highly recommend Daryn and his team to anyone seeking a committed, knowledgeable, and results-driven broker.

The team at TFS have been fantastic to work with and helped us out massively to achieve a tricky loan deal. They were very patient whilst helping us work through many different iterations and the resulting loan was ticked all of the factors that were important to us. Daryn also secured us a further discounted rate post settlement which I didn't even know was possible!
