The Specialist Finance Academy (SFA) is set to relaunch today, Wednesday 2nd July, in partnership with Brilliant Solutions.
The relaunch aims to bring fresh energy, updated resources, and more support for brokers looking to grow their specialist lending knowledge.
Brilliant Solutions is the first mortgage club to officially collaborate with the SFA.
The partnership marks a major step in the academy’s mission to simplify specialist finance and raise industry standards through practical, broker led support.
Michael Craig, managing director at Brilliant Solutions, said: “We’re incredibly excited to be partnering with the Specialist Finance Academy (SFA) and especially proud to be the first Mortgage Club to do so.
“At Brilliant Solutions, we’ve always believed that broker education is the foundation of better outcomes for clients, especially in the specialist lending sector, and it’s clear that SFA shares those same values.
“A huge credit goes to Kim for the brilliant work she’s done in building this academy. It’s a fantastic platform that’s already making a real difference.
“This partnership is a natural fit, and we’re proud to support brokers together in raising standards across the industry.”
Founded by specialist broker and business owner Kim McGinley (pictured), the academy was created to give brokers the tools, knowledge and support they need to confidently step into the specialist finance space.
The academy’s education delivery is led by George Sanford, director of education.
McGinley said: “The Academy exists to cut through the noise.
“We know the pain points. Brokers feel overwhelmed, undertrained, and unsure how to place complex deals. We are here to change that.
“The partnership with Brilliant Solutions is a proud moment because their values mirror ours. They care about brokers, they care about outcomes, and they get it.
“Together, we are creating something that really moves the dial.”
