KEY PERSONNEL
Matt brings over 20 years of experience in corporate banking and finance, having held senior roles with major banks and working within a specialist corporate advisory firm. His background includes mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings (IPOs), private and public capital raising, and company restructures.
He holds a Bachelor of Business and is fully accredited with the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia (MFAA) as a credit adviser. Over the past decade, Matt has built a strong reputation as one of Adelaide’s leading residential and commercial finance brokers.
Alongside his professional experience, Matt is an active investor, owning and managing a portfolio of residential and commercial properties, with a particular interest in land subdivisions and development. This hands-on experience allows him to provide practical, well-informed advice and tailored finance solutions.
Matt works with a broad range of clients – from first home buyers through to experienced developers, investors, and business owners – supporting everyone from those just getting started to high net-worth individuals.
Sam transitioned from a career in physiotherapy to pursue opportunities in property, finance, and business. Starting with limited resources, he gained hands-on experience applying creative financing strategies to fund, renovate, and develop property – building practical knowledge through real-world projects.
Through this experience, Sam worked closely with mortgage brokers and recognised a gap in the market for more strategic, experience-driven advice. This led him and his wife Lia to establish Urbantech Finance – an investor-focused finance business built on practical insight, creative thinking, and a long-term approach to wealth creation.
What began as a two-person operation has since grown into a team of experienced and highly capable brokers, supporting a wide range of clients across residential, commercial, and investment lending.
Sam leads the business from an operational and growth perspective, overseeing marketing, lead generation, financial management, and internal systems, while supporting the broker team to deliver strong client outcomes.
Devon is a finance professional with a strong background in corporate banking and finance. With over five years of experience across a range of roles with major banks, he has developed a deep understanding of the finance industry – particularly through his work as a credit assessor, where he gained valuable insight into the lending process.
He holds a Certificate IV in Finance and Mortgage Broking and is fully accredited with the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia (MFAA) as a credit adviser.
Since moving into finance broking, Devon has quickly built a solid client base, working with first home buyers, property investors, and developers.
Outside of work, Devon is a passionate property investor and share trader, actively applying the same strategies he advises on. In his spare time, he enjoys playing sport, has a keen interest in cars, and enjoys watching shows and documentaries.
Devon’s combination of industry knowledge, hands-on experience, and commitment to his clients makes him a valued member of the Urbantech Finance team.
Lia brings a unique background to finance, having started her career in the creative arts as a ballet dancer before moving into speech pathology studies. With a strong and growing interest in property, she transitioned into business and investment as she and her husband Sam began purchasing and renovating property.
Through this experience, Lia recognised a gap in the market for more personalised, experience-driven finance advice. This led her to co-found Urbantech Finance, where she became a qualified broker and played a key role in establishing and rapidly growing the business in its early stages.
Lia is known for her friendly and approachable nature, along with her ability to clearly explain complex financial concepts in a simple, practical way. She is passionate about helping clients feel confident and in control, guiding them toward better financial outcomes through tailored finance solutions.
Her combination of real-world experience, strong client focus, and natural communication skills has made her a valued and trusted adviser to a wide range of clients.
