We are proud to announce that Green Finance Group has once again earned finalist status in multiple categories at this year’s Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia (MFAA) Excellence Awards, the country’s peak mortgage and finance broking industry body.
Team GFG – Qld State Finalist, Diversified Business Award
This berth reflects the full breadth of finance expertise our team delivers every day – specialist finance solutions across residential, commercial, and equipment finance. It takes an extraordinary group of people working in collaboration to earn this, and we are proud of every single member of Team GFG.
Paul Steele – Qld State Finalist, Customer Service Individual Award (Home Loans)
Paul’s 2026 berth marks his third consecutive year as a finalist in the Customer Service Individual Award and adds to finalist berths in the Young Professional Award in both 2023 and 2024. Five MFAA finalist berths across his career-to-date, spanning two categories. That breadth and consistency of recognition confirms Paul, aka Steelie, as one of the industry’s most sought after home and investment loan brokers. Congrats!
Daniel Green – Qld State Finalist, Commercial and Equipment Finance Broker Award
He is the reigning title holder for this award, having won it in 2025 after two years in 2024 and 2022 as Qld Finalist. Daniel has been recognised at the top of this category across four separate awards cycles. That sustained presence is rare in any industry and reflects the depth of specialist finance knowledge and strength of service he brings to every client situation.
James Kelder – Qld State Finalist, Commercial and Equipment Finance Broker Award
Finalist in 2023, winner in 2024, finalist in 2025, and again in 2026. James has been recognised among the industry’s very best every single year since his first nomination in 2023. Four years. Four appearances. Consistent excellence for our Commercial Property and Investment Specialist.
GFG has now earned an MFAA finalist berth in four of the past five years, including our 2024 win of the Finance Broker Business Award. This year’s Diversified Business Award reflects how far we have come, from a single finance broker in the form of founder Daniel Green to more than 50 staff located Australia-wide, growing our specialist capabilities to further support homebuyers, investors and business owners with funding solutions for every stage of life and business.
Over 15 years, GFG has accumulated more than 200 industry accolades. That number exists because of the people behind it – our finance consultants, our support team, and most importantly, our clients.
None of this happens without the trust our clients place in us. Every award or recognition traces back to someone who chose GFG for something that really mattered – a new home, a business, a development or commercial property, an investment, a new piece of equipment, even a car. That trust is not something we take for granted, and it is the reason we keep raising the bar when it comes to professional standards. We look forward to celebrating some wins in June at the awards ceremony.
To Paul, Daniel, James, and every member of Team GFG — congratulations. You have earned this.
