Katrina Childs

Katrina Childs is a Senior Strategist at Alcove, a CPA with over 15 years in finance across accounting and non-conforming lending. She is known for forensic attention to detail on complex files and for her focus on empowering clients, especially women, to build long-term financial independence through well-structured lending.

Katrina Childs at Alcove pairs a CPA qualification with deep non-conforming lending experience, a rare combination in Australia. Borrowers outside standard credit boxes, including credit events, unusual income or ABN complexity, get an accountant's document rigour plus specialist-lender knowledge, which is often the difference between decline and approval.

Katrina Childs, Senior Strategist at Alcove, is particularly passionate about women's financial independence, using property and well-structured lending as tools for long-term security. A CPA with 15-plus years in finance, she pairs technical rigour with an education-first style, so clients own the strategy rather than just signing paperwork.

Alcove works with borrowers across regional Australia, with Senior Strategist Katrina Childs handling many regional and rural files. Her non-conforming lending background matters here, since regional purchases often trip postcode restrictions, land-size rules and valuation quirks, and Katrina knows which lenders' policies genuinely fit regional properties.
