About Us
With a rich 15-year background in the Australian financial services industry, I lead Equanimity as a dedicated, client-focused finance broker. I launched Equanimity in 2022, driven by a deep commitment to empowering individuals and families to shape their financial futures. At Equanimity, we specialise in providing comprehensive financial solutions, focusing on mortgage lending, credit advice, and debt consolidation, all delivered with a calm and holistic approach to decision-making in borrowing, risk exposure, and financial obligations.
As a trusted advisor in the mortgage and financial services sector, I excel in understanding our clients' aspirations, adeptly addressing their immediate financial needs while strategically planning for their future. Our innovative approach in crafting tailored financial and mortgage solutions sets us apart, ensuring long-term stability and wealth management for our diverse clientele.
My professional journey includes pivotal roles such as Head of Mortgage Broking at ARC Global Wealth, and Business Development Manager at St.George Bank. These roles, along with leadership positions at ULR Jaguar Land Rover and NGP Lorimer Pty Ltd, have enriched my expertise in areas like residential and commercial lending, client relationship management, and strategic financial planning.
Beyond my professional endeavours, I am a family man, devoted to my wife and three children. Our shared passion for travel and cultural exploration reflects my belief in the importance of life experiences. As an active community member and sports enthusiast, I am deeply committed to giving back and maintaining a balance between professional success and personal fulfillment.
My overarching goal is to guide clients through life's various stages, helping them manage, protect, and grow their wealth, with a keen focus on leaving a lasting legacy and achieving financial security.
Rashid Mahbub
Director
With a rich and diverse background in healthcare, I have recently embarked on an exciting new chapter in the finance industry with Equanimity Financial Services. My experience spans 18 months in Aged Care and 12 months in the NDIS sector. This journey has ingrained in me a deep sense of empathy and a strong commitment to caring for individuals, traits that I now bring to my role in the financial sector.
Transitioning from healthcare to finance, I carry with me the values of compassion, dedication, and the desire to make a positive impact in people’s lives. My educational background, including a Certificate II in Agriculture and Animal Studies and a Certificate III in Individual Support, has provided me with a unique perspective and skill set that I apply in my current role.
Outside of work, my life is enriched by a close-knit family that blends diverse cultural heritages from Tonga, Fiji, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Australia. Together with my mum, kids, and our beloved dog Kenai, we enjoy a range of activities, from reading and gaming to hiking, road trips, and yoga. This diverse and vibrant family life has taught me the importance of understanding and respecting different perspectives, a quality that is invaluable in my professional interactions.
At Equanimity Financial Services, I am dedicated to understanding the unique needs of our clients and supporting them in their financial journeys. My approach is characterised by quiet dedication and loyalty, ensuring that every client receives thoughtful and personalised service. I am committed to making a real difference in the lives of our clients, guided by my lifelong passion for caring for people.
