Milestones
As a founding member of WOW! (Women. Opportunity. Winning.), an employee resource group created for all women of Ryan Specialty, Phillips Topping has long championed for women in the industry.
“It’s very important to set an example and to not only inspire but mentor other females,” she adds.
In addition to her sharp marketing eye, the key to Phillips Topping’s success lies in her high-energy approach and positive attitude.
“As the leader of a team, it’s important to motivate and encourage your team members. People work very hard and do their best and it’s important to recognize these efforts. For my career overall, my attitude has been one of curiosity. The more you can learn, the better you’ll understand the business, and then the deeper your knowledge will become, making you a better team member.”

Only once she understands their full situation, including income, expenses and comfort with repayments, does she recommend a path that aligns with what they want to achieve. “My role is to break things down, guide the client step by step and help them make a wise decision, not just a quick one,” she says.
Kee works across a broad range of clients in Sydney and NSW, from first home buyers, refinancers and property investors to those with more complex needs such as self-employed borrowers, construction loans, SMSF lending, debt consolidation and pre-approvals.
As a trusted mortgage broker in Gordon, she supports clients throughout the local community while also assisting borrowers across the wider region. Every client’s situation is different, and for her the work is less about finding a loan than helping someone make a decision that suits their circumstances now and in the future.
The pace of change is the part of the job Kee finds most demanding, with lender policies, interest rates and borrowing capacity all liable to move while clients are making big decisions. As an experienced mortgage broker in North Shore Sydney, she handles it by staying organised, keeping up to date with lender changes and communicating clearly so clients understand what is happening and what their options are.
The trust Kee has built with clients over the years is the achievement she values most. Under her previous Loan Market profile, she received 193 five-star Google reviews, and since starting Keywise Finance, she has maintained a 5-star rating across 23 reviews, a track record that brings most of her clients to her through referrals and repeat business.
Kee takes real pride in that endorsement. “People usually refer their family or friends only when they have had a good experience themselves,” she says.
“My role is to break things down, guide the client step by step and help them make a wise decision, not just a quick one”
