Why should I start a pension now rather than later?

Because time is the most powerful factor in pension growth. The earlier you start, the longer compound growth and tax relief work in your favour — starting even a few years sooner can make a substantial difference to your final pot.

How is a pension tax-efficient?

Pension contributions can attract income tax relief, and your investments grow largely free of tax along the way. This makes a pension one of the most tax-efficient ways to build long-term wealth in Ireland.

How much do I need to contribute to my pension?

There's no one-size-fits-all figure — it depends on your income, your goals, and when you want to retire. In your consultation, we'll help you work out a contribution strategy that fits your budget and your timeline.

Is Financial Planning Matters regulated?

Yes. Financial Planning Matters is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.

What if I already have a pension?

That's fine — we can review your existing pension, check whether it's still working hard for you, and recommend changes to improve growth or reduce charges where it makes sense.

How much does a pension consultation cost?

Your first 30-minute Zoom consultation is free. If there are any fees for ongoing advice or setting up your plan, we explain them clearly upfront before you commit to anything.

How Do I know What Level of Investment Risk is Right for Me

Your risk tolerance shapes how your pension is invested, and we use a simple risk assessment to find the right fit for you. Not all pensions are the same, and there's no single "correct" answer, only the right answer for your situation.
The assessment helps determine whether you're best suited to:

A conservative approach — lower risk, steady, dependable growth.
A balanced approach — a mix of stability and stronger returns.
An aggressive approach — higher risk, with the potential for greater rewards.

Whatever your style, our focus is the same: maximise your growth.
