As an Associate Broker at Acceptance Finance, I have been responsible for a variety of tasks that have contributed to the growth of the company. One of my key accomplishments is creating a JavaScript-based borrowing capacity analysis tool that was integrated into a client-facing chatbot. This tool resulted in an increase in lead generation for consumer mortgages. In addition, I developed a sophisticated Excel workbook using VBA that automated broker performance analysis, providing customisable reports for the leadership team, and enabling data-driven decision-making. Alongside these technical tasks, I also perform my regular duties and have skilfully managed over $150M in loan settlements, building and maintaining strong relationships with clients and institutional partners to ensure successful transaction completions. I analyse clients' financial statements to assess creditworthiness and mitigate compliance risks. As a member of the compliance committee, I actively ensure adherence to relevant laws, regulations and internal policies, demonstrating my commitment to ethical business practices.
