Individuals & families · with Brendan

At a crossroads on one or two things, or ready to plan all of it?

Select is one to three elements of your money, solved properly and then finished. Complete is all eight, looked after every year by the same planner. They are two widths of the same service, not two products to compare - and Brendan will tell you which one fits on the first call.

Select or Complete

Two widths of the same service.

Same planner, same standards, same plain English. The only question is how much of your money life the work should cover: a few elements now, or all of it, ongoing.

Eolas Select

One to three things, solved properly.

A scoped piece of work on the part of your finances that needs attention now: a redundancy package, an inheritance, pensions to consolidate, a mortgage to re-broke. Usually two or three elements, never the lot.

  • Typically four to five hours of planning work
  • Scope and fee agreed in writing before we start
  • Project only - no ongoing fee
How Select is scoped

Not sure which? Let Brendan help you choose the right fit. On the discovery call he'll tell you which width the situation calls for - and if a few hours of Select would serve you better than a year of Complete, he'll say so.

Which one fits

Find yourself in one of these sentences.

If both fit, or neither quite does, that's exactly what the discovery call with Brendan is for. He'll tell you which width suits, and he'll tell you when neither does.

  • I've a specific situation - redundancy, inheritance, a mortgage, pensions in three places - and need real advice on just that.

    You're looking at
    Eolas Select

    One to three elements, scoped and priced in writing. You only pay for the hours the situation calls for.

  • I want one team looking after all of it - pensions, protection, investments, tax - on an ongoing basis.

    You're looking at
    Eolas Complete

    All eight elements, reviewed every year by the same planner, with your annual tax return included. Pay monthly.

In every engagement

Five things that never change, whichever way you work with us.

Led by CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERS™
Every plan we write is led by a CFP® - the globally-recognised mark of fiduciary, fee-transparent planning. Not a sales role with a planning badge.
Same person, every conversation
You're matched with a planner on your first call, and that's who you'll deal with from the discovery call through every annual review. No handovers, no junior associates.
Plain English, always
If a planner can't explain something to you over coffee, they don't understand it well enough. We translate the jargon, not bury you in it.
Whole-of-market product research
We're independent - owned by the people who work here. The product recommendation that lands in your inbox is the one we'd give our own family.
Authorised & Regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland
We're fully regulated by the Central Bank. All our fees are disclosed up front, in writing, before you commit to anything.
Common questions

The things people ask before booking.

Anything not covered here? The 30-minute discovery call is the right place to ask - bring the awkward ones too.

Do I have to move from Select to Complete?

No. Select is project-based and ends when the work does. Complete is ongoing, and you can pause or stop with 30 days' notice. Some clients come for one Select piece of work and, because it went well, ask us to look after the whole picture. Plenty never need more than the one project, and that is a good outcome too.

How are fees paid?

Select is quoted in writing after the discovery call and paid by bank transfer or card before the work begins. Complete is paid monthly by direct debit, and the amount is on the Complete page. Neither fee depends on any product.

What's the discovery call?

30 minutes with Brendan, by phone or video, completely free. He listens first, then tells you whether Select or Complete fits, or whether neither does. You leave with a clear answer, not a sales pitch.

Do you sell financial products?

Where a product is part of the plan - a pension, a life policy, an investment - we research the whole market and place it with the provider that best fits. We're remunerated by the product provider in some cases; this is always disclosed in writing in advance. Our planning fee is separate.
