By paying a fee, you are assured of impartiality and a truly objective report on your circumstances.

Such fees are set as follows for 2022

Please note that the following fees cover an online consultation with the client, conducted over MS Teams, Zoom or suitable agreed alternative platform. Face to Face consultations are not guaranteed and subject to availability.

  1. For Single premium savings/pensions. The greater of €500 or 2% of single premium amount/transfer value

Keenan Financial Planning reserve the right to review this amount on a case by case basis depending on the scope of work and administration costs incurred as a result of executing a policy for a client in this manner.
