Did you know less than half of all Australian businesses report being innovation-active? Dedicating resources to come up with something genuinely innovative is difficult. That’s why we’re excited to reveal the finalists in the 2024 Finder Innovation Awards and celebrate the brands that are working hard to create change. This year’s Awards covered 19 different categories including the best innovation in Apps, Travel, Tech, B2B, Telco and many more. The competition was tough, and we saw several brands shortlisted in industries that aren’t typically known for innovation. For instance, seven insurance brands have been shortlisted across categories like Social Impact and Insurance. Finalists include QBE Insurance, Butter Insurance, Fast Cover Travel Insurance, Medibank, Pet Insurance Australia, Huddle and ROLLiN' Insurance . We also received impressive entries from brands in industries that are known for breaking the mould. In the running for the best Digital Assets and Web3 innovation include Swyftx, Verida and Monochrome. Other brands from this space like Trezor and RelayPay are also in the running to win awards for the best innovation in Investing as well as Banking and Payments. The battle for the Online Customer Service Innovation award is now down to four brands from various industries across lending, retail, investing and deathcare. Our finalists for this category are Tiger Brokers Australia, Bare , Sealy of Australia and Beforepay Group. In retail land, we’d like to recognise Dreame Technology, JURA Australia Espresso Pty Ltd, Koala, Emma – The Sleep Company, Dermal Therapy by LaCorium Health , Naked Sundays SPF, ghd, PerkyPod and Glow Dreaming for their innovations in a range of product categories including beauty, mattresses and home appliances. You can find the full list of shortlisted brands here: https://lnkd.in/gNEfdsxX Congratulations to the 2024 finalists for making it this far. We’ll be announcing the final results later this month so stay tuned to find out who the winners are.

"You need glue people to scale" This is a term used in sports to describe players in team sports who aren’t necessarily the stars, but are the glue that ensures the teams execute the strategy and plan flawlessly. I'm incredibly proud to have taken home the Business News Australia Pty Ltd 2024 Brisbane Young Entrepreneur Finance Award. Thank you, Camilla Jansen. Of course, this would not have been possible without the support of the operational wizards at Jacaranda Finance. I borrowed that opening quote from an article written by the co-founder and previous CEO of HubSpot, posted this morning by Vu Tran (thanks Vu). If you're a CEO and/or founder, it's a powerful read: https://lnkd.in/gnTY8b_q

One of the great delights in my time at Jacaranda Finance has been watching a bunch of young guns start from the bottom and navigate their way up. They’ve committed to consistent personal and professional growth and they have timed it perfectly, keeping up with the trajectory of the business and its needs. It’s not easy. Being technically excellent at your role is a very different ball game to being the leader of the team which requires a different focus and skillset. Particularly in a small business where you need to balance being on the tools and working in the team as well as working on the team and optimising your function. Hats off to these go-getters. We’ve launched our new careers page, you should check it out as it gives some great insight into what it's like to be a part of the Jacaranda Finance team: https://lnkd.in/gWNEVSHr We have a few roles in market right now: We’re looking for a Sales Consultant to join our fastest-growing team, our car loan team reporting to Joshua Wessels. If you’re a young gun with strong energy, this a unique opportunity to work with some very experienced seniors who are great people: https://lnkd.in/g6qxPczE We’re also looking for a Credit Assessor to join our mighty Credit Assessment team. This team is led by Ryan Castles, who has a bunch of young gun team leaders Jason Hussey, John Bradtke and Jared Mifsud. Another role where you will learn a great deal, from some of the best in the business: https://lnkd.in/gy-3aETg Alternatively, reach out to Julia Paino for a confidential chat and ask some questions to make sure we’re a good fit for you, and you’re a good fit for us. https://lnkd.in/gkCz2x2e

Did you know that on any given night, over 5,000 people in Brisbane are without a home? Shockingly, around 40% of them are under the age of 25, facing challenges many of us take for granted—access to food, shelter, and healthcare. Today, we had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with Emmanuel City Mission (ECM), an organisation dedicated to supporting those experiencing homelessness and hardship in Brisbane. ECM is doing amazing work to provide care, meals, and support to those in need, and a few of our team members got to help out. Whether you’re preparing and distributing food or simply offering a listening ear, there are so many ways to get involved. As part of our commitment to making a difference, Jacaranda Finance also offers each employee one paid day of charitable leave per year to donate to a cause close to their heart. It’s a chance to give back, live our values, and connect with our community. This experience has indeed brought our team together and shown us how much of an impact we can make. If you're looking for a way to give back, we highly recommend checking out Emmanuel City Mission and seeing how you can lend a hand! 💙 #JacarandaFinance #CommunitySupport #EmmanuelCityMission #HomelessnessAwareness #GiveBack #Volunteering #MakeADifference #BrisbaneCommunity #CharitableLeave Nick Yang Jordan Liu Janine Connors Nikita Presland Shannon France Alexandrianna Goiye William Jolly
