Our Story

About
TAG Financial Group

Founded in 2006, TAG is Perth's most awarded independent finance company.

Mortgage Brokers Perth

TAG Financial Group Perth

TAG Financial was founded in 2006 when three independent mortgage brokers in Perth joined forces in the belief that they could provide an unrivalled service in an easy-to-understand, transparent and friendly manner.

Since opening our doors, we have funded over $1 billion in loans and grown our team to include qualified loan writers.

In 2024, Transact Finance strategically acquired the business under the leadership of Directors Alex Gismondi and Jarrod Smith, bringing fresh strategic vision while preserving the award-winning culture and client-first values that TAG has been built on.

Today, the firm offers specific services in the field of finance. Our TAG Finance Team is dedicated to helping business owners, first home buyers, young adults and families find the right loan at the right price — with a fraction of the headaches normally associated with lending institutions.

Despite being a small firm, we believe we can make a big difference. We invest our time and resources into our community programs because we want to make a meaningful difference to our local community and to those who are less fortunate than ourselves.
