Founder & Principal Finance Broker
Meet Jean-Bernard (JB) Fremy
Most brokers read your tax return. I read your business.
More than two decades of finance, technology and operations experience, brought together to give clients a genuine advantage in structuring lending and building stronger businesses.
Finance Broking with a Business Operator's Mindset
JB Fremy is the founder of JBF Solutions, bringing more than two decades of finance, technology and operations experience to clients across mortgage broking, commercial finance and business consulting.
Unlike brokers who work purely from a lending perspective, JB approaches every engagement through the lens of a business operator, understanding that a loan is rarely just a loan. It's a tool that needs to fit within a broader financial strategy, cashflow position and growth plan.
This combination of finance expertise, technology background and operational experience is what sets JBF Solutions apart. Clients receive advice shaped by the full picture, not just the product on offer.
Having settled in Brisbane over 20 years ago, JB has a deep understanding of the local market and regulatory landscape, and works with small to medium businesses across a range of industries.
International background. Bilingual in English and French.
Born in New Caledonia, JB has lived and worked across multiple countries before making Brisbane home over 20 years ago. He is bilingual in English and French and has a deep connection to the New Caledonian and French Polynesian community. For clients who prefer to work in French, JB is one of the very few accredited finance brokers in Brisbane who can genuinely serve you in your language.
Why Clients Work With JB
Clients come to JB when they want an adviser who genuinely engages with their situation, not one who applies the same template to every deal.
Experience Across Finance & Operations
With a background spanning banking, commercial lending and business operations, JB sees lending and business challenges from multiple angles simultaneously. That breadth translates to better outcomes.
Structured Thinking, Practical Advice
JB applies structured, systematic thinking to every client engagement. Advice is practical and grounded, not theoretical. Solutions are designed to work in the real world with real constraints.
One Adviser, Full Picture
Rather than working with separate brokers for home, investment and business lending, clients work with JB across the full scope, ensuring consistency and clarity across every finance decision.
Accredited and Accountable
FBAA and MFAA accreditation means JB operates to recognised professional standards with obligations around conduct, education and client outcomes. AFCA membership provides an independent dispute pathway.
Extensive Lender Panel Access
JBF Solutions works across an extensive lender panel (including boutique, wholesale and non-bank lenders), matching the right product to the right situation.
Clear Communication
Finance can be complex. JB translates it into clear, plain English, keeping clients informed at every stage and making sure decisions are always understood before they're made.
Reads the Financials with a CFO's Eye
Reads your P&L and balance sheet with a CFO's eye: relevant context, not just a serviceability number.

View Accreditation DetailsJB's Background
JB's career began in finance and banking, building a deep foundation in lending principles, credit assessment, lender requirements and the mechanics of how finance products are structured and assessed. This grounding informs every loan recommendation made through JBF Solutions.
JB's transition into technology and systems work added a process-driven, analytical dimension to his advisory capabilities. Understanding how systems work, and where they break down, is central to the business consulting work JBF Solutions delivers today.
Operating and advising businesses across multiple sectors gave JB a practical understanding of cashflow, growth pressures, operational inefficiencies and strategic decisions. This experience directly informs how JBF Solutions approaches business finance and consulting engagements.
JB founded JBF Solutions to bring specialist finance broking, commercial lending and business advisory together under a single practice, giving individuals, investors and business owners access to experienced, accredited advice across the full spectrum of their financial needs.

Opportunities and Solutions, Never Just Problems
"There are no problems, just opportunities and solutions."
This is the principle that guides every client engagement at JBF Solutions. When clients come to JB with a finance challenge or a business problem, the starting point is always to identify the opportunity within it, and build a practical solution around it.
That mindset, combined with accredited expertise and broad industry experience, means clients leave every conversation with a clearer path forward, regardless of how complex the situation looked when they arrived.
Outside of work, JB enjoys spending time with his wife and young children.
