Our story

Meet the people behind August.

August Financial combines well-rounded expertise with a strong sense of values. Marking our success through relationships, we are proud to have forged long-term connections with clients that we now call family.

By definition, we are a mortgage broker - but we also like to think of ourselves as your support network. A sounding board of which to bounce ideas off. A trusted confidant. Because we understand that the choices you make with us don't just impact your home loan. They shape your future self, your family and your legacy.

We are a team of driven individuals, drawn to like - minded people with big ambitions and shared values.

Family We believe in growing together.

Empathy We care about your story and the journey ahead.

Purpose We want to understand what makes your choices meaningful.

Integrity We build trust through transparency and honesty.

Accountability We're on your side and you can depend on us.

Resilience We're here for all times -
good and bad.

Roland Maglaya is a devoted husband, proud father and the director of August Financial.

Roland believes in leading with empathy and empowerment through choice, two ideals which are deeply ingrained within his company. Roland's clients value the space that he creates for them; a unique service experience which allows them to remain involved at every stage of their journey. Having created August on the back of a career in financial planning, he brings a unique mindset to his clients today, offering holistic, bigger picture advice.

As a family man, Roland understands that the choices an individual makes have a ripple effect on their loved ones and their legacy. He finds fulfillment in providing his clients with meaningful service, imparting the knowledge, confidence and informed perspective needed to choose with purpose.

The impact of choice is central to the August ethos. Having experienced a personal tragedy, Roland was faced with the reality that in life, some things can happen that are out of our control. Through the pain, however, he chose to channel heartbreak into positive action.

As our Relationship Manager, Rochelle Maglaya brings more than professionalism and precision to August - she brings the heart.

Rochelle is a natural born communicator whose special quality is her ability to connect with people. Under Rochelle's care, our clients feel genuinely seen, heard and valued.

Her warm nature is a reflection of who she is as a mother and a wife, and how she shows up to work. She is the embodiment of resilience, and firmly believes in putting family first.

Rochelle has turned her hand to a number of industries - from a childcare worker to flight attendant - and while these roles are varied, they all share the common denominator of helping people. While some are career-driven, Rochelle identifies as being people-driven, and it is her goal to to make every individuals' experience a positive one.

Having been new to the finance industry, Rochelle understands first-hand how it can feel for those who are inexperienced. You can expect her to nurture you through the process, speak plainly with transparency and keep the door open for questions.

And with a genuine desire to see people achieve, Rochelle will be there every step of the way.
