The team behind
Ding Financial
Ding Financial is the founding domain of Local Knowledge Finance. Led by James Chee — a rare combination of CPA, Registered Tax Agent, and licensed Mortgage & Commercial Finance Broker.
James Chee
Founder & Principal Broker
Why a CPA makes a better mortgage broker
With 15+ years of experience and $300M+ in settled loans, James brings a perspective that goes beyond just finding a rate. He understands your full financial picture — tax, cash flow, business structure, and long-term wealth.
Most brokers compare rates. James compares outcomes. As a CPA and Registered Tax Agent, he can assess the tax implications of every loan structure, spot deductions other brokers miss, and build a lending strategy that compounds your wealth over decades.
Based in Mascot and serving Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, James has deep local knowledge of property valuations, council regulations, and suburb-specific lending quirks that affect approval.
