I needed advice on my pension and financial future for my retirement and the advice that Ciaran has provided me has been extremely useful and he has made a complicated subject seem easy.

Yes my pension has grown nicely.

In my opinion Ciaran' service and advice are first class so nothing to improve on.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
We reached out to Ciaran as I had a lack of understanding of what we had in place and if it was the best I could achieve.
How has Ciaran Scanlon helped you?
We have been working with Ciaran for some time now, and we couldn't be happier with the guidance and support he has provided. He is a genuinely friendly and approachable adviser who takes the time to explain everything in a clear and simple way. Financial jargon can often feel overwhelming, but Ciaran ensures that we fully understand our options and any decisions we need to make. No matter what query or concern we have, Ciaran is always available to offer advice, reassurance, and clarity. Thanks to his expertise, our pensions are now performing much better than before, and we have a much clearer picture of what we need to focus on in the remaining years leading up to retirement. His ability to break things down into easy-to-understand terms has made a real difference in how we manage our financial future.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
One of the most valuable tools Ciaran has provided us with is his cash flow model, which has given us a strong understanding of when we can retire and what financial figures we need to work towards. It’s reassuring to have a clear plan and realistic expectations about what will be available to us. Thanks to Ciaran’s advice and guidance, we feel far more confident about our retirement plans, and we would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for expert financial advice.
