Eligibility requirements vary by lender, but these are the common criteria accountants must satisfy to access professional-loan benefits.
Membership with a recognised accounting institute — e.g. Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA), Certified Practising Accountants Australia (CPA), or another eligible finance-accounting body.
Stable PAYG employment (or transparent self-employment with financials/tax records), ideally past any probation.
Clean credit record, responsible use of credit, and ability to meet standard lending criteria (serviceability, expenses, savings history).
Many lenders offer up to 90% LVR without LMI for accountants. Some may accept lower deposits depending on individual circumstances.
Some loan caps or property-type restrictions may apply depending on lender; property value, type (owner-occupier vs investment), and location may affect eligibility.
