I was just a number when I had my investment portfolio with one of the larger institutions, which was until I started dealing with Stephen Donnelly. The advice I received from Stephen no longer made me feel like I was just earning somebody else a commission. I felt special, regardless of what I had accumulated. Moving my business to Stephen was the best decision I ever made.

I started using Donnelly Financial Planning about a year ago as I had several pensions spread across different financial institutions.

Stephen moved all my pensions into one, and he made the whole process smooth, ensuring I felt comfortable throughout. I’m delighted with this as I only receive one yearly statement now and Stephen provides me with regular updates on the funds and explains any risks involved.

Stephens’ knowledge and expertise with pensions have been invaluable in assisting me with all my retirement goals. I highly recommend Stephen for all pension matters, and he always responds to phone calls quickly.
