Headland Financial
Services · Self-employed

A home loan that understands your tax return.

Three companies, a trust, distributions, retained earnings, and an accountant still finalising last year? We've seen it. And we know which lenders will say yes.

What we do

Most banks see self-employed and reach for the 'no' pile.


Banks like PAYG payslips because they're easy. Self-employed income — with company structures, trust distributions, and add-backs — takes work to assess properly, and most lenders aren't set up to do it.

We work with the lenders who specialise in self-employed clients. We know how each one calculates serviceability, what they'll accept as proof of income, and how to present your numbers so the credit team sees the real picture.

How it works

From first conversation to done.


Step 1

Read the real numbers

We work with your accountant to interpret your financials properly — add-backs, retained earnings, distributions — not just the bottom line.

Step 2

Match to the right lender

Some lenders want two years of tax returns, others accept one. Some take BAS statements. We pick the lender most likely to say yes.

Step 3

Frame the submission

We present your application to the credit desk most likely to back it — with the right supporting documents and a story that makes sense.

Who it suits

If you've heard 'no' from a bank, we'd like a word.

We specialise in clients who don't fit a PAYG mould.

  • Sole traders and contractors with 12+ months of trading
  • Company directors with trust distributions
  • Multi-entity structures with retained earnings
  • Clients with one strong year and one quiet year
  • Tradies, consultants, and professional services
  • Specialist lenders for newer businesses
