A different approach to financial planning

Most people don't have a financial plan. They have a collection of financial products. A pension here, a mortgage there, a life policy they took out years ago and haven't looked at since. At HWM, we take a different approach.

We start with where you are today

We start by understanding where you are today. Your income, your assets, your protection, your goals. Then we build a clear, practical plan that puts every part of your financial life in the right order and keeps it there as your life changes.

The Full Picture

What a Financial Review Covers

We look at your finances as a whole. Not one product in isolation, but every area together so nothing falls through the gaps.

A financial review starts with understanding your full situation. Where your money is, what protection you have in place, what your pension looks like, and what your goals are. From there we identify the gaps, the priorities, and the opportunities, and build a plan that covers all of it.

Protection

  • Life assurance, lump sum cover for your family
  • Specified illness cover, tax-free lump sum on diagnosis
  • Income protection, replacing your salary if you cannot work
  • Mortgage protection, ensuring your home is paid off
  • Keyperson and business protection

Pensions & Retirement

  • Building your pension as tax-efficiently as possible
  • Reviewing old employer pension schemes
  • Personal Pensions, PRSAs, PRBs and ARFs
  • Planning your transition out of full-time work
  • Drawing your retirement income efficiently

Savings & Investments

  • Lump sum investments and regular savings plans
  • Investment bonds for medium and long-term savings
  • Diversified investment funds across risk profiles
  • Education savings and goal-based investing
  • Child benefit investment

Tax-Efficient Planning

  • Maximising pension tax relief
  • Tax-efficient investment wrappers
  • Succession and estate planning considerations
  • Structuring income and assets efficiently

Business Owner Planning

  • Company pension schemes
  • Company income protection and serious illness cover
  • Keyperson and shareholder protection
  • Corporate investment of retained profits
  • Succession and exit planning

Redundancy Planning

  • Tax treatment of your redundancy payment
  • What to do with your employer pension

Frequently Asked Questions

Financial planning is the process of looking at every area of your financial life together and creating a clear strategy. Most people have financial products but not a financial plan. If you have dependants, a mortgage, a pension, or assets, a proper plan will almost always improve your position.
Before we meet, we ask you to fill out a fact find form so we can prepare properly. At the meeting itself we talk through your current situation, what you have in place, what you are trying to achieve, and any concerns you have. From there we identify the gaps and priorities and explain clearly what we would recommend and why. Most first reviews take about an hour.
A fact find is a form we send you before your review. It captures your full financial picture including your income, assets, liabilities, existing policies, and goals. Filling it in before we meet means we can use the time together more productively, rather than spending the meeting gathering basic information.
Both. We are based in Douglas, Cork and meet clients in person regularly. We also meet clients across Ireland via video call. Whichever works best for you is fine with us.
The initial financial review is free and carries no obligation. If you proceed with our recommendations, fees depend on the products and services involved. We will always be upfront about costs before you commit to anything.
Almost certainly yes. Having products in place is not the same as having a plan. We regularly find that existing policies are unsuitable, overpriced, or simply not doing what the client thinks. A review costs nothing and often uncovers significant opportunities.
Yes, and this is exactly where we add the most value. Most advisors specialise in one area. HWM covers the full range: pensions, protection, savings, investments, and mortgages. Your plan is joined up rather than a collection of unconnected products from different providers.
Yes. Halpin Wealth Management Ltd. t/a Halpin Wealth and Mortgages is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. Our registration number is 705667. You can verify this on the Central Bank register at registers.centralbank.ie.
