About Richard Smith

As an ex-banker my career in banking and finance spans almost 30 years and has seen me successfully manage hundreds of complex commercial financial transactions while providing strategic guidance to businesses of all sizes – from start-ups to large corporates and everything in between.

I started my career in banking and finance in the late 1990s in Townsville with Westpac, providing business funding solutions for regional businesses statewide, including those located in the western farming districts. Additionally, I held senior commercial lending roles at Suncorp Bank with my client list extending from the Gold Coast to Far North Queensland and including businesses from a broad range of industries – tourism, hospitality, education, medical, real estate, commercial property development and even farming.

With a people first approach and a deep understanding of the markets in which I operate, I have consistently delivered exceptional results helping clients achieve their financial goals through better funding solutions.

While my lending experience extends to residential, business and equipment finance, over my career I have developed specialised analytical skills in tourism and leisure assets. My client list is diverse and includes family run businesses through to large scale corporate tourism operators, chain hotels and independent holiday resorts.

Whether you are an emerging business, a market leader or an individual looking to improve your financial position, whether you need $20k or $100+ million, I can show you how to plan and structure your finance with maximum returns in mind. Ask me about better funding solutions for:

More importantly, I am not a ‘product pusher’. My industry experience and reputation for professionalism combined with Green Finance Group’s preferred supplier status with a large panel of lenders puts me in an opportune position to negotiate a better finance deal on your behalf.
