A desire to be at the forefront of modern advice-led financial planning in Ireland has always driven Colm to embrace the latest developments in the industry aligned with key fundamental approaches to advice that have stood the test of time.
This goal of giving the highest quality advice in the world led him to complete the Graduate Diploma in Financial Planning in University College Dublin which qualified him as a Certified Financial Planner(CFP® Professional). The CFP® designation is only awarded to those in the industry who have undergone rigorous study and examinations to be at the forefront of financial planning. CFP® Professionals are seen as being at the top of the financial planning pack when consumers are looking for an advice-led process. There are only 300 independent CFPs in Ireland.
