Advisory Services

Our professional relationship began in 1985 when Debbie was only a Graduate Trainee in The State Bank of NSW. She accepted the challenge of analysing and preparing banking submissions for some large and complex companies. Her depth of knowledge and analytical and interpersonal skills enabled her to progress rapidly in the Bank. Within a few years, she rose to the level of Manager, responsible for servicing a portfolio of large corporate customers with banking facilities ranging in excess of $200 million.

In 1993, Debbie accepted the challenge of Regional Manager for the North Coast of NSW, making her the youngest appointee to such a senior position with the Bank and at the time the most senior woman in the Bank. In this role, she was responsible for not only the large corporate accounts in her region but also the many small businesses and personal banking relationships.

A study of Debbie’s Curriculum Vitae shows many impressive academic achievements and these have no doubt substantially assisted her throughout her career. She was a sought after University lecturer.

In my subsequent role as Finance Director at the University of Western Sydney, Debbie was again an invaluable resource who saved the University substantial money and reviewed and negotiated our finance and service contracts to ensure at all times the University was protected

Debbie has also spoken at various University conferences and Finance Director meetings. Her personal, passionate, and frank presentation silences any room and leaves many in the room speechless. A modern-day whistle-blower who can only be admired for her knowledge, bravery, and integrity.

I have appreciated the assistance/advice provided by Debbie Organ that has greatly benefited Macquarie University and the University of Western Sydney and congratulate her on standing up for what is right.

Michael Webster- Former Finance Director Macquarie University

Debbie was of great help to me in defending my position in relation to the scam I was caught in and pointed me in the right direction in pursuit of justice on several occasions.

Her company Integrity Corporate Finance Pty Ltd is aptly named as I have found her to have a good sense of justice and her personal integrity is unquestionable.

Brian Barrett-  General Manager Marrackville Council

Her stand and determination to expose unethical business practices is indicative of her integrity and strength. She has a wealth of financial expertise and is an excellent corporate speaker. Having spent more than 40 years in the finance industry myself, I have worked with many talented people, but few more than Debbie. Her career rapidly progressed at a time when there were relatively few women in the banking industry and very few at that time held senior positions. Debbie is an asset to the industry, a role model for other business women and would be an incredible asset to any corporate Board.

Jim Swinburne-  Senior Manager Rabo Australia Limited

Debbie’s detailed knowledge of the finance industry and her highly professional approach to her clients greatly assisted me as Finance Director at Macquarie University avoid the hazards often associated with financing arrangements. As the author of various papers including “Operating Leases: The Benefits and Pitfalls”, Debbie has detailed for Universities how to best manage these financing arrangements to achieve the best outcome for us and how to avoid common mistakes, which often benefit the financing company. She also provided invaluable advice for an $ 18 million student housing project proposal.

Keynote Speaking

I read with a mix of horror and interest to the articles Debbie Organ wrote in the Club Life and CMA Magazines. I know of a number of my colleagues in our zone, including ourselves, who have saved their Club significant amounts of money (and grief) with Debbie’s help.

My finance Manager is a brilliant operator and yet he walked away from Debbie’s seminar to immediately review our agreements.

Debbie is a straight talker and her presentations are even better than the articles.

Gordon Rhodes- CEO

On behalf of the Directors of the Queensland Hospitality Industry Conference and Expo, I would like to extend our sincere thanks for your conference presentation.

There is no doubt you silenced a very large room of delegates and opened people’s eyes when it comes to what they should be looking out for when entering into agreements.

I have received only very positive feedback. Many thanks for your participation.

Penny Wilson- Director QHICE

I attended (with Debbie) a NSW Council Industry conference, where Debbie was the guest speaker. I am always impressed by her Integrity and passion that all business dealings should be ethical. She has such a passion regarding the operating lease industry and unjust business practices associated with the various areas of procurement and contracts. Many Councils spoke to me about how impressive and passionate Debbie is, many of whom use her services. I am honored to be associated with such a business person and how she aims to make a genuine difference.

Wayne Pearce- OAM

Her articles in Clublife, received rave reviews from the industry. If you have not heard Debbie speak, this is a great opportunity to hear of her experiences, and the valuable lessons your Club can learn, so as not to get caught in the traps often found in lease, finance and service agreements.

Debbie has staged a one-woman campaign to the government for regulation of the leasing industry, and has met with the Dept of Fair Trading and ACCC, representing Clubs in NSW.

After meeting Debbie, you will see why she was nominated for Business Woman of the year on three separate occasions.

ClubsNSW- Annual Conference

As is often the case with Debbie, the better you get to know her, the more admiration you can’t help but have for her many virtues. In particular, her ability to blend her altruistic nature with a strong results and outcome focus for any of the projects that she engages. These qualities combined make her a rare and valuable resource in a highly competitive corporate world.

In addition to her varied achievements in the business community Debbie maintains a strong commitment to her charity work and helping those in need.
