Choosing independent financial advice.

In today's uncertain world, it is not easy to make the correct financial decisions. It is frightening to observe the chaos in many of the financial institutions in our State. Without Government support, many would have gone bust. This is an incredible situation.

Our business is run by Chartered Accountants with years and years of experience .We believe you will be in safe hands.

We believe that independent advice is vital to the decision process. There are so many choices, with so many companies, all purporting to have the best product .

  • Our role is to advise in good faith.
  • We act with complete integrity
  • We act in your best interest
  • To find products that are suitable for you

Hopefully you will benefit from our experience.

Good financial advice can make money work harder for you.

There are many options open to you when considering buying a financial product, you can:

  • Go direct to a life insurance company or lender
  • Contact several companies and compare their products
  • Use the services of a licensed intermediary who will research the market on your behalf and identify suitable products.

The most important thing you can do is to take action now, don't leave until next week, there will always be an excuse for putting off financial planning.

How important is the right financial advice?

Securing sound financial advice will make a real difference to achieving your goals. For many of us financial goals are aspirations that sit somewhere at the back of our mind.

Why not be more proactive?

Write down your long term goals and set out to achieve them!

You might want to borrow money to buy a house, put yourself on track for a comfortable retirement or make sure your finances could survive if illness meant you couldn't work.

A good financial adviser will help you understand and prioritise your financial needs,

Very often your financial adviser will become a life long adviser who you can turn to as life's events unfold and who is there to steer you in the right direction.

How much will I have to pay for financial advice?

In general we are remunerated by receiving a commission from product producers. Details of any commission payments are included in the product information of life companies and in our terms of business in regard to other products.
