Sophie Hayes

Meet Sophie Hayes — Broker and Co‑Founder at Seasoned Finance. Raised on a farm in Central Western NSW, Sophie brings firsthand knowledge of rural life and the real financial pressures regional Australians face.

Sophie holds a Bachelor of Accounting and a Bachelor of Business, and spent more than eight years working at a major bank before moving into broking. That combination of technical training and frontline banking experience means Sophie helps clients find finance solutions that genuinely fit — whether securing a first home, financing a commercial property, or expanding a farming operation.

Clients value Sophie for her practical approach, clear communication and attention to long‑term outcomes; she takes time to understand each client’s goals, structure loans to suit seasonal cashflow where needed, and simplifies complex options so borrowers can make confident decisions.

When not supporting clients, Sophie spends time on the family farm with her young family — often relaxing with a G&T or a glass of wine in the garden.
