Received a follow up phone call promptly, following an initial training session. I was given a very clear analysis and summary of what I could expect for my pension and advice on AVCs that was simple and easy to set up. It de-mystified the pension process for me and gave great peace of mind.
Friendly, clear and helpful
When I met one-on-one with Yasmin, she made my pension clear to me for the first time ever! She clearly explained how the AVC works, and the benefits, without being pushy. I then had some follow up conversations with Catherine, who was also really helpful. I highly recommend the services of IPF.

Outstanding service and trusted financial guidance
I recently had the pleasure of working with Irish Pensions & Finance, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the very first consultation, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on understanding my financial goals.
In particular, Jack Stevens was exceptional to deal with. He took the time to clearly explain my pension and investment options in a way that was easy to understand, without any pressure or unnecessary jargon. I felt confident that the advice I received was tailored specifically to my circumstances, and he was always available to answer questions promptly and thoroughly.
What really stood out was the transparency and commitment to long-term financial planning. I was provided with clear guidance, practical recommendations, and a well-structured plan that gives me real peace of mind about my future.
I would highly recommend Irish Pensions & Finance — especially Jack — to anyone looking for trustworthy, expert financial advice delivered with professionalism and care.
IPF Financial advisor Angel Arrogante - Excellent
I recently had an online call with IPF and was extremely impressed with the service I received. Financial advisor Angel Arrogante was very clear, very patient, and very knowledgeable, taking the time to explain my options in a way that was easy to understand. The entire process was professional and reassuring. I would highly recommend Angel for any financial planning.
To add, my calls were returned so promptly, always a plus....!

My engagement with IPF was very positive. I had put-off arranging my long term retirement plans for several years but since I've now gone through the process and initiated a plan for my future, I feel a sense of relief.
