John Bolton ("JB")

Principal and Advisor

JB owns Squirrel and is a former General Manager at ANZ National Bank where he directly managed over $30 billion of mortgages and deposits. JB is a regular market commentator on the Mortgage Market in the press (and occasionally on TV.) JB has a BCA from Victoria University and has undertaken post graduate study at University of London. He likes to drink water in the shower and is slightly neurotic with his calculator.

Anna-Lisa Bolton ("AL")

Mortgage and Life Advisor

Anna-Lisa is a Chartered Accountant and has 10 years experience in financial services. AL is possibly the most efficient person on the planet (which is awesome for clients) but this is complimented with a propensity to vacuum the house too much (which is not so good for JB.)

Eleanor Rodrigues
