OUR STORY

We are Alissa & Elle, and we are the Founders and Directors of Two Birds One Loan. We have been friends for 25 years, and when Two Birds was born, we had a vision to make waves in the (some would say) uninteresting, world of Financial Services.

We have always aimed to inspire other women, in particular Mums, to trust in their abilities, and believe in possibilities.

We shared an unwavering aspiration to further our careers whilst still being around to watch our kids grow up. Managing this balance, whilst simultaneously growing and scaling Two Birds, has been the most fulfilling achievement of our careers to date.

Working with us, you will feel our professionalism, warmth, knowledge, and passion for delivering results. We thrive on getting to know our clients and helping everyday Australians to dream, build, pursue and achieve their financial goals.

Alissa Childs

DIRECTOR & FINANCE BROKER

Dip. FMBM & Cert IV MB

My experience spans 20 years in Financial Services. I have a meticulous eye for detail, a passion for attaining outstanding customer outcomes and experiences, with values at the heart of all I that do.

Born and bred in the Hills District, I now live in Glenorie with my husband Nick and our 3 kids, Esme, Albie and Vivienne.

Elouise Dooley

DIRECTOR & FINANCE BROKER

B. Comm (Macq.), Dip. FMBM & Cert IV MB, J.P.

I have an astute eye for detail, an unusual love of spreadsheets, and the ability to effectively manage multiple projects and deadlines. I am fiercely passionate about customer experience, delivering results and helping people to achieve their goals.

It was always a priority for both Alissa and I to continue our careers after having our children, and we feel very fortunate that we have been able to craft a business (together!) that allows us to do both.

I live in Middle Dural with my husband Matt, our three daughters Grace, Violet & Olivia… and our neurotic Shoodle, Lenny.
