On the Wall and on the Court: Finance Consulting Group at the Golden Era Sports Tour
Finance Consulting Group was a sponsor of the Golden Era Sports Tour’s Monte-Carlo stage, and our Founder & Director, Alberto Bertazzi, also played in the tournament. Our logo was on the partner wall at the Monte-Carlo Country Club; Alberto was on the clay.
Vintage racquets, modern racquets, great matches and even better people: that was the Monte-Carlo stage of the Golden Era Sports Tour. We were part of it twice over, as a sponsor and on court.
Featuring Alberto BertazziTwo roles, one weekend
Sponsoring an event and playing in it are very different things. At the Monte-Carlo stage of the Golden Era Sports Tour we did both: Finance Consulting Group was a sponsor, and our Founder & Director played.
Spot the sponsor: our logo on the partner wall
Look closely at the Golden Era Sports Tour partner wall. The Finance Consulting Group logo is on it twice.
Why a mortgage specialist sponsors vintage tennis
Our work is built on relationships. We advise international buyers who are putting real money and real plans into a country that is not their own, and they decide whom to trust long before they fill in a form. A tour that brings players, guests and partners together, in whites, on clay, is exactly where good relationships start. It is the same idea we describe in The Human Side of Getting a Mortgage in Spain.
Alberto Bertazzi played in the tournament
Sponsors usually get a logo on a banner and a handshake at the reception. Alberto Bertazzi, our Founder & Director, also took to the court as a player.
“It was an honour to be part of it twice over: as a sponsor with Finance Consulting Group, and on court as a player.”Alberto Bertazzi, Founder & Director
For clients, that matters in a small but real way: the person who runs the firm is the person you deal with. At Finance Consulting Group you work directly with Alberto Bertazzi or Mike Brady, from the first review to completion.
Tools evolve. Fundamentals win.
At the tour, vintage wooden racquets and modern frames share the same clay. The best players use whatever the moment calls for and keep the fundamentals sharp.
Spanish mortgages work the same way. We use modern tools, including an AI-assisted mortgage calculator and a chat assistant, because they give you a first answer in minutes. What actually gets a file approved is still the fundamentals: clear income documents, a realistic deposit plan, the right lender for your profile, an honest timeline, and someone you can pick up the phone to.
“Tools evolve. Fundamentals win. And friendships last.”Alberto Bertazzi, Founder & Director
A special edition for the players
Alberto also presented his book, The Foreign Buyer’s Guide to Buying in Spain, to the players. The copies on the table were a special Monte-Carlo edition for the Golden Era Sports Tour, October 2026, subtitled “the definitive guide to avoiding mistakes, securing finance and making the right decision.” You can read more about the book on Alberto’s profile page.
