Our Approach To Your Financial Independence

Our financial plans are custom-made for each individual or couple. We make sure that all your needs are taken into account. The objective is to improve your financial situation.

All of our recommendations are realistic and will allow you to be financially independent even in an emergency.

Saving money every month can be a challenge. Whether it is for your retirement, your mortgage or your children, having some money aside is essential. This is why our financial advisors are there to help you take control of your finances.

Through our personal financial advice, we work with you to build a plan that preserves your wealth, your resources, your income, and the lifestyle of your family.

Step 1: Regular Saving & Budgeting

Before you start putting together a financial plan, it’s important to know exactly where you stand financially. Evaluate your income, expenses and debts, so that you have a clear picture of your current financial situation.

Step 2: Emergency Fund & Protection

One of the most important steps in setting up an emergency fund is to open a separate savings account specifically for this purpose. An emergency fund account should be kept separate from your other accounts, as it serves its own specific purpose. This helps you stay focused on saving for emergencies, rather than spending this money on something else.

Step 3: Property / Secure Housing

One of the first steps to buying a house is to determine your budget. After you’ve identified how much you’re able to spend, start looking for homes in locations that meet your criteria – making sure they are also within your price range.

Step 4: Planning for Retirement

Planning for retirement in Ireland is an important process that requires careful consideration and preparation. It is important to use a financial advisor to understand and plan your retirement. If you leave it until you reach retirement you can make the situation harder.

Step 5: Investment & Building Wealth

Investing can be a great way to build wealth and grow your money over time. There are many options for investment including bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, property and buying company shares directly. Before investing, it’s important to research and understand the risks associated with each type of investment and to consult with a financial advisor or investment professional to determine what investment strategy is best for your individual needs and goals.

Who Needs Financial Advice?

Everyone. Whether you’re sorting out your Mortgage Protection at the last minute, or you want a full review of your current situation, being able to ask an impartial expert makes a difference.

How Does Financial Advice Work?

When two options look extremely similar, financial advice you can trust will allow you to make the best decision for yourself. Emma needs life insurance. She’s gotten three quotes, and they all cost roughly the same. How does she choose? She’s tempted to go for the cheapest, because it’s hard to know what the difference is. This is where financial advice helps. Emma’s financial advisor knows all these products well, and asks her a few extra questions. Her financial advisor is able to tell her the difference between those insurance policies, and how they affect her. The choice is still completely up to Emma, and she decides to go for the second cheapest policy, because it gives a funeral payment. Her father died two years ago, and her mother had to take out a credit union loan for the funeral costs. Emma doesn’t want her family to go through that, and the difference in price was minimal. Being asked a couple of extra questions allowed Emma’s advisor to understand her situation better. Now Emma has a policy that fits her circumstances, due to the financial advice she received.

How Much Does Financial Advice Cost?

Your initial call is free of charge. If our services can help you, we will inform you of what the full charge will be in advance.

Most of our personal financial plans for the average household are €600.00 including VAT

What Will I Need To Get My Financial Plan?
