Meet the JV Financial Team


Anthony Monaghan
Anthony Monaghan is a founding director of the company who specializes in Estate Planning and Risk Management.

Anthony began as an insurance agent with Legal & General in 1989. He has continued to hone his skills in the area of risk planning for business, in particular protecting the income of business owners and the lives of “key personnel”. He has seen first hand the problems created when the business is not separated from the estate. He firmly believes that a business will or “buy/sell agreement” funded by insurance is vital to protect family and business partners alike.




Andrew Deane
Andrew Deane is a director of JV Partners and JV General and specialises in Risk Management for professionals and business owners.

Andrew, a former Olympic hockey player, started out as an agent with Friends Provident nearly 15 years ago. His typical client is a business owner or professional. All of these people have a financial or business plan with one common assumption… that everyone turns up on Monday morning. Sadly injury, illness or death can destroy those plans. Andrew likens his role to a project manager who puts together his insurance recommendations with the advice of legal and accounting experts, to form a safety net for these busy people.





Debra Learmonth

Debra Learmonth is a fully qualified Financial Planner who joined as a director of JV Partners in 2005.

During a 25 year career in financial services Debra had roles in insurance, legal, securities and lending before finding her true calling as a financial planner in 1996. She holds a Diploma of Financial Planning and a Certificate in Accounting. A total professional, in 2004 her dedication and commitment to clients was rewarded with Advice Quality accreditation and the title of NSW Financial Planner of the Year for the NAB. Debra specialises in wealth creation through gearing, retirement planning and maximising retirement income including access to CentreLink benefits.





David Bryant

David is a director of JV Mortgages and the person responsible for the extraordinary growth of that business over recent years. He held almost every position in retail banking, including manager of Barton branch, during his years at the Commonwealth Bank. For the last 8 years he has been a fully accredited mortgage broker who loves the freedom to choose from hundreds of loan options to find one that really suits the customer’s needs. Away from the office he is most often spotted in Accident and Emergency or the physio’s waiting room as he continues to deny that he is too old to be playing football for the Gungahlin Jets.





Travis Scholfield

On the weekend you’ll find Travis on the Aussie Rules field or on the back of a motorbike. Well that’s where we found him. He previously worked as a finance consultant helping people to purchase motorcycles. These days he still rides and races bikes but helping people to buy their dream home or investment property is what gets his motor running. His attention to detail in the JV Mortgages back office ensures that the ride from loan application to settlement is a smooth one.





Mary

After 15 years as a nanny Mary was looking for a change and a move into office based work. We saw this as a clear case of the glass being half-full. Rather than the office skills she lacked we saw a strong track record of responsibility, trustworthiness, working unsupervised and dealing with difficult clients. That turned out to be a brilliant decision as Mary has been promoted twice in 12 months and now is embarking on a valuable and rewarding career as our paraplanner. Her support and attention to detail is vital to the provision of insurance and financial planning advice to our clients.





Simone

Simone has added a wealth of experience and accounting fire-power to our Financial Planning team. After graduating from RMIT with a Bachelor of Business in Accounting she worked with organizations like ICI, Goodman Fielder and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority and held positions including Management Accountant and Financial Controller. In 2001 she started her own premium accounting and bookkeeping business dedicated to contributing to the financial success of clients. Now she brings that passion and desire to financial planning. Her emphasis on financial coaching and advice rather than product sales make her a perfect fit with the JV philosophy.
