Meet the founder
Meet Declan Hanratty, founder of Vanquish Finance Group
Before becoming a mortgage broker, Declan spent 16 years in the Health and Fitness industry, running his own personal training studio. His philosophy was simple: small positive habits lead to big results. By helping clients implement manageable changes, he transformed lives and created lasting success.
Declan brings the same approach to finance. He knows that anyone can walk into a bank and get a home loan—but what most people don’t realise is that over a standard 30-year term, you’ll repay double what you borrowed in principal and interest. The good news? It doesn’t have to be that way.

Declan brings the same approach to finance. He knows that anyone can walk into a bank and get a home loan—but what most people don’t realise is that over a typical 30-year term, borrowers can pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest if their loan is not structured correctly. The good news? It doesn’t have to be that way.
Just like fitness requires the right combination of exercise and nutrition, paying off your home loan sooner requires the right strategy, structure, and know-how. Declan helps clients develop the right strategy, structure and financial habits to achieve their goals.
Declan takes a highly personalised approach, working closely with clients to help them achieve the best possible financial outcomes. Vanquish Finance Group was built on this principle—offering personalised financial strategies for people who aspire to a better life. Today, Declan applies the same coaching principles to finance, providing “personal training” for your finances rather than your fitness.
