John Kolena's Finsure races to second place in BRW's Fast Starters list

Mortgage aggregator Finsure Finance & Insurance has surged into second place in BRW Magazine's latest top 100 Fast Starters list, up from 18 in 2014, positioning it as one of Australia’s fastest growing companies.

BRW’s annual Fast Starters list compares businesses founded after June 2011.

Those that make the list are ranked by their revenue and their growth percentage within the last financial year.

BRW recorded Finsure’s FY15 revenue as having grown 90 percent year on year.

The Finsure Group recently hired its 800th broker and stated that settlement volumes rose a further 50 percent during July and August, compared with the same period last year.

“We are delighted to be ranked second on such a high profile list and also to be acknowledged as the fastest growing financial services company,” John Kolenda, Finsure's managing director, said.

“The timing of this award couldn’t be better as we are currently holding our first international conference in Shanghai."
