Our office is in Cork city centre, and we work in person with households across Cork. For clients elsewhere in Ireland, consultations can be arranged by phone or video call with the same level of detail.

The initial consultation is free. After that, we offer fixed-fee review packages so you know the cost upfront — with no hidden charges. Many clients find the expense reductions we identify cover the fee several times over within the first year.
