Mark Rinaldi
Mortgage Broker
mark.rinaldi@loanmarket.com.au
Born and raised in the North East of England, my career began with a degree in Architecture, followed by a move into corporate finance at Ernst & Young (now EY). After earning my Chartered Accounting qualification, a desire for international experience led me to Brisbane in 2008. Over 15 years, I specialized in Transfer Pricing within the Big 4 accounting firms, advising multinational corporations on complex international structures.
Driven by a passion for property and a desire to help individuals rather than global entities, I transitioned to mortgage broking. Leveraging my extensive finance background, I joined the team at LMNF, a company I've admired for its exceptional service and expertise for over eight years. This year, I'm focused on contributing real value to clients and mastering the intricacies of my new role.
