About the Company

Exfin was established in 2005 with the sole purpose of providing expatriate Australians, and future migrants to Australia, with easy, reliable and cost effective access to quality professional and financial services while outside of Australia.  Our belief - after many years abroad - was that very few Australian businesses were geared towards serving the requirements of the large number of Australians overseas, and that remains the case even now. While the internet has made keeping in touch with Australia immeasurably easier, we felt that it could also be used much more actively to provide professional and other services to Australian expatriates – hence the development of Exfin. The ever growing number of visitors to the site, and the thousands of inquiries received from all over the world, proves that Exfin is providing a useful resource for Australian expatriates, as well migrants and overseas investors alike. We are also finding that Australians are becoming more and more comfortable with using professional services provided directly out of Australia, despite the distance. Why, for example, search London, New York, Singapore or Hong Kong for an Australian tax or financial advisor when you have an up to date, licensed professional available in Australia who is often more economical?

Exfin is an evolving business and we intend to progressively add to the information presented as time goes by – particularly in the areas, such as education, where we believe that the support systems are particularly poor.  In this regard, we very much welcome feedback from visitors and clients regarding areas where we might provide useful, value added services to Australian expatriates. 

Our intention is to offer a “one stop shop” to Australians and migrants seeking professional services and advice, and to give that effect we have assembled a wide range of professional service providers under the Exfin "umbrella".  All have a commitment to meeting common service standards and have indicated a desire to support expatriate and migrant clients.  Exfin will continually monitor achievement of the customer service standards and, equally importantly, the perceived and real quality of service being provided by all service providers.

Exfin is a commercial site, with revenue coming from a variety of sources including marketing and operational support from the service providers, referral payments or commissions where appropriate, as well as advertising and sponsorship. None of this support results in any service costs to Exfin users except in areas where we offer direct services and clearly set out the applicable fees.
