When it comes to business success, having the right advisor in your corner can make all the difference. Enter Ben Blacker — a seasoned financial consultant and the Managing Director of Blacker Consulting, who has quietly built one of Australia’s most trusted boutique advisory firms.
With more than 20 years of hands-on experience across banking, equipment finance, commercial lending, and strategic advisory, Ben Blacker has become a name synonymous with practical solutions, deep industry insight, and relationship-first consulting.
A Career Built from the Ground Up
Ben’s journey began on the frontlines of banking as a teller — a role that would shape his understanding of the customer experience from day one. He quickly progressed into lending, portfolio management, and eventually senior operations, including leadership within one of the largest automotive funding teams in Australia.
Through every role, one thing became clear: many businesses were being misunderstood or underserved by traditional financial institutions.
“Too often, good businesses struggle simply because they don’t speak the same language as their financier. I wanted to change that,” says Ben.
The Birth of Blacker Consulting
Ben founded Blacker Consulting with one goal: to bridge the gap between business owners and the financial solutions they truly need. Today, Blacker Consulting is known for connecting clients with tailored lending solutions, top-tier financial brokers, legal advisors, and accounting professionals — all with one thing in mind: helping businesses grow with confidence.
The firm focuses on industries where cash flow and timing are everything, including:
- Civil Construction
- Transport & Logistics
- Mining Services
- Manufacturing & Wholesale
- Agriculture
Ben’s ability to understand both the operational and financial needs of these industries sets him apart from generalist advisors.
Building Trust That Lasts
What makes Ben unique is his commitment to long-term relationships. He’s not just a consultant — he’s a trusted member of his clients’ advisory circle. His network across banking, legal, and finance professionals spans the entire country — and increasingly, international markets.
Whether you’re a first-time borrower or a multi-million dollar enterprise navigating expansion, Ben Blacker is the name many business owners trust when the stakes are high.
