Honed Financial commenced in June 2017 with the aim of providing financial services in a straightforward and professional way. With minimum industry jargon, we maximise personalisation to meet the needs of our clients – now, and in the future.
A founding principle of the business has always been the desire to help people of varying economic circumstances, from first home buyers, to experienced investors, build financial security by leveraging property ownership. So we’ve resourced the firm with expert lending analysts and experienced mortgage brokers, in order to be able to guide our clients through the processes with the minimum of fuss.
