The Adviser has revealed the most prolific commercial finance brokers in the country in the Elite Broker Ranking 2026 – Commercial, partnered by Msquared Capital.
Australia’s most prolific commercial brokers have been revealed with the release of The Adviser’s Elite Broker Ranking 2026 – Commercial, an annual showcase celebrating the country’s top-performing professionals in the industry.
The Elite Broker Ranking 2026 – Commercial, partnered by Msquared Capital, shines a spotlight on the nation’s leading commercial finance brokers, measuring the scale, impact, and productivity of top performers across Australia across two core funding pillars: commercial mortgages and working capital loans.
In the third annual edition, the commercial brokers in the ranking were responsible for settling a massive $6.57 billion in total commercial finance across 6,945 loans during FY2025–26.
Despite a shifting macroeconomic landscape in the second half of FY25–26, marked by international conflict, rising costs, the maturation of artificial intelligence, and a rising cash rate environment, underlying business demand for specialised commercial debt and working capital facilities remained remarkably resilient.
Broken down by category, commercial mortgage specialists accounted for just over $6 billion across 1,682 settled loans, while working capital specialists settled $573,636,246 across 5,263 business loans.
Commercial mortgages
In the commercial property space, brokers demonstrated the enormous monetary scale of high-value transactions during FY25–26, with major commercial and development advisory brokerages securing large volumes of business.
Topping the overall commercial mortgage ranking by dollar volume was Bill Moskovich of Stamford Capital Australia, who claimed the nation’s number one spot by writing a staggering $1,208,902,748 across 78 settled loans.
In fact, Stamford Capital Australia swept the top three spots for dollar volume and fielded four of the top six volume brokers nationwide; Andrew Dilorito came in second place by volume, with $443,975,653 across 85 commercial mortgage settlements, while Adam Miller was in third place, settling $436,000,338 across 20 high-value deals (averaging $21.8 million per facility). Fellow Stamford Capital broker Angus Sheedy also ranked in the top six with $392.6 million.
However, when it comes to the sheer number of commercial mortgage loans settled, Jonathan De Sensi of Marquee Group came out on top. De Sensi led the nationwide ranking by transaction count, settling 110 commercial mortgage loans totalling $192,298,600.
Andrew Dilorito (Stamford Capital Australia) was second for settlement count with his 85 settled loans, followed in third place by Matthew Spears from Evoke Capital, who settled 82 commercial mortgage loans totalling $130,902,001.
Working capital loans
While commercial mortgages catered to major property acquisitions, working capital loan specialists focused on keeping Australian businesses liquid by delivering fast-turnaround business loans, trade facilities, and cash flow solutions.
Taking out the top spot for working capital dollar volume was Abe Tuckett of Humble Bee Finance, who wrote $39,969,849 across 65 working capital settlements. Drago Mitkov from Ardent Lending Co took second place with $29,002,000 across 20 transactions, while George Sha of Balanz Finance ranked third in overall volume with $25,500,000 across six high-value commercial facilities.
When looking at working capital settlement frequency, high-volume and tech-enabled business specialists dominated the top ranks, with Valiant Finance demonstrating overwhelming scale by occupying all top five positions by transaction count.
Leading the nationwide ranking by deal count was Valiant Finance’s Zac Feaunati, who settled a huge 235 working capital loans totalling $11,584,562. Fellow Valiant Finance brokers Adam Hamouda (203 settlements totalling $16,724,415) and Adrian Grasso (181 settlements totalling $12,456,801) claimed second and third place, respectively, followed closely by teammates Timothy Ferrero (179 deals) and Jamie Cheng (178 deals).
What unites all these elite commercial brokers is their high-touch service and efficiency in delivering specialised, high-value transactions repeatedly.
The brokers in the Elite Broker Ranking – Commercial show that the broker channel has been busy supporting Australian businesses through tumultuous market and helping them find solutions to spearhead their next phase of growth.
Michael Volkiene, chief commercial officer at non-bank commercial lender Msquared Capital, congratulated the brokers in the Elite Broker Ranking – Commercial, adding that success in the field often came from partnership with fast and efficient lenders.
He noted that the lenders offer first and second mortgages from $500,000 to $50 million over three to 36 months – flagging that every scenario is assessed on its merits.
He said: “At Msquared Capital, transparency is at the heart of how we partner with commercial brokers.
