Meet the Toast Finance Team
Specialising in Geelong, Newtown, Geelong West, Highton and Belmont
Scott Baker’s journey to founding Toast Finance began with a deep passion for service and meaningful connections. After years in retail, he wanted to make a bigger impact, asking himself, “How can I build genuine relationships while solving problems in property, and finance?” Mortgage and finance broking became his answer—a chance to be part of people’s biggest milestones while creating a service grounded in trust and care. With over five years in the industry, Scott’s vision expanded. He wanted to empower people, improve their financial confidence, and guide them toward a self-sufficient future. That’s how Toast was born—an alternative to traditional, impersonal services.
