David Kelleher

Financial Services Lead

Dave, hailing from Cork, boasts over 30 years of experience in Financial Services. His wealth of expertise spans various facets of personal finance, making him a valuable resource for his clients.

Whether you require guidance on estate planning, pension management, investments, or any other aspect of your financial strategy,

Dave is ready to lend a hand. He's committed to demystifying financial jargon and injecting a touch of humour into the process. When he's not untangling financial complexities, you'll likely find him engrossed in a gripping crime novel, cup of tea in hand.

Carmel Green

Financial Services Lead, Head of Business Development

Carmel oversees client portfolios and acts as the liaison with product providers. Her dedication lies in ensuring you have the optimal financial plan tailored to your needs. While Carmel is well-versed in various financial aspects, her specialty lies in protection. She goes the extra mile to navigate the complexities of life insurance, advocating for clients regardless of their health status.

Carmel assesses everyone’s circumstances and recommends insurers who are understanding of their condition, prioritising their well-being over mere affordability. She ensures you grasp the ins and outs of your policy, explaining any exclusions in plain language before you commit. Committed to simplifying financial jargon, Carmel adds a dash of humour to the process—making her a perfect fit alongside Dave!

When not immersed in financial matters or updating social media, you'll likely find her engrossed in a gripping crime novel; though, unlike Dave, she's a coffee connoisseur!

What our Clients Say

My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with David for a number of years now. Our previous financial advisor had let us down with a number of unsuitable policies and we wasted a lot of money. Dave came to our home and sat at the kitchen table as if we knew him years!

He talked us through all our options and advised us on what would work best for us from pensions to life insurance. We feel secure and protected for the future thanks to Dave. I would recommend him in a heartbeat for anyone looking for financial advice and to secure their future.

I got in touch with David initially regarding salary protection. I found him to be so thorough and hardworking that I now go to him for all my family's insurance needs. He is so knowledgeable in his field and so trustworthy that I have recommended him to family, friends and colleagues countless times.

Fantastic Service

Had a very informative meeting with David for over an hour on zoom. He explained very clearly my pension options including AVCs. Following the meeting I got a report with loads of detail. David was not trying to sell me any products and I came away with a definite plan for the future. I would highly recommend this service for anyone interested in getting objective information about their pension.
