About
Family-owned advice. Plain English. Real qualifications.
We’re a small, family-run firm of qualified financial advisers based in Clontarf, Dublin — helping people across Ireland make confident decisions about pensions, investments, protection and financial planning.

Why we exist
Good advice, made accessible
For a long time, proper financial advice has felt like something for people who already had money. We started Greenway to change that.
Whether you’re putting away your first €100 a month, sorting out an old pension you forgot about, or planning how to draw down a retirement pot you’ve spent decades building — you deserve clear, qualified advice from someone who’ll explain the why, not just the what.
We’re a family-owned business, so the person who picks up the phone is the person who’ll be giving you advice. No call-centre handoffs, no junior reps, no commission-driven sales scripts.
How we work
Plain English, real qualifications
Every adviser at Greenway is qualified as a QFA (Qualified Financial Adviser) — the recognised standard for financial advice in Ireland. We hold additional accreditations in retirement planning and taxation where relevant.
We’re regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland (reg. no. C168372) and we work across six of Ireland’s leading providers — Irish Life, Zurich, Aviva, New Ireland, Standard Life and Royal London — so the product we recommend reflects your needs, not a quota.
And we’ll always tell you when you don’t need us. If a low-cost PRSA is the right answer, we’ll say so.

What we stand for
How we’ll work with you
Plain-English advice
No jargon, no acronyms-without-context. If you don’t understand what we’ve recommended and why, we haven’t done our job.
Qualified, not salespeople
Every adviser at Greenway is QFA-qualified. You’re getting advice from people with proven knowledge — not a script and a target.
Whole-of-market
We work across Irish Life, Zurich, Aviva, New Ireland, Standard Life and Royal London — so we can recommend what fits, not what we’re paid to push.
Goal-specific
Your plan should fit your life — not the other way around. We tailor advice to your actual situation, not a template.
Long-term relationships
Most of our clients stay with us for years. As your life changes — kids, mortgages, retirement — we’ll be there to adjust the plan.
Regulated & accountable
Greenway Financial Advisors Limited is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland (reg. no. C168372). We’re members of Brokers Ireland.
