  • Chad Kemp | Credit Advisor | Director & Mentor

    In February 2021, after 12 years as a finance and insurance manager, I decided to take a leap of faith and pursue my dream of starting my own finance and mortgage broking firm, New Horizon Financial. Trading the long hours and commute from Brisbane for a business I could truly call my own, I set out to make a difference—not just in my career, but in the lives of my clients and community.

    My mission was inspired by the challenges small to medium businesses faced during Covid lockdowns. Seeing so many businesses deemed "non-essential" highlighted the urgent need for tailored financial solutions. Today, I am proud to assist these businesses in pursuing their ambitions by facilitating innovative funding solutions that support them at every stage of their journey.

    With extensive experience in providing tailored, out-of-the-box finance options, I’ve built a reputation as a trusted advisor in the finance and mortgage industry. I specialize in home loans, construction loans, mortgage refinancing, motor vehicle and equipment finance, personal loans, and short-term business funding. I’m also an experienced corporate communications coach and mentor, bringing a unique perspective to my work by combining financial expertise with strategic communication skills.

    Servicing the Sunshine Coast, I’m committed to enriching the lives of my clients, whether by helping them achieve financial freedom, supporting their business growth, or providing guidance that genuinely improves their circumstances.

    On a personal note, I’m a proud father to two amazing kids, and running my own business has allowed me the incredible opportunity to be present for their development while pursuing my passion.

    I’m fully mobile, available after hours, and committed to being there for my clients.
