Not only did Diarmuid help me put together an easily understood investment / retirement plan, but equally importantly for me, he chased up all the loose ends to make sure the plans were executed in a timely manner - not my strong point!
Dr Heather Holloway, Consultant Gastroenterologist
I have known Diarmuid for many years and consider him to be extremely professional and completely trustworthy in all matters financial. He has always provided me with excellent service and advice and has helped me greatly to plan for my retirement. I look forward to working with Diarmuid and his team for many years to come!

Chartered Capital provide me with high quality financial advice. Diarmuid’s experience as a Chartered Accountant is a great addition to the financial planning service that he and his team provides. I would happily recommend Chartered Capital to everyone who needs financial planning help.

Killian Coleman
I was originally referred to Diarmuid by a colleague. Over the years he has given me some great insights and advice in terms of my investment options, planning my imminent return to Ireland, and my future retirement strategy. With his professionalism, knowledge, and experience, I’d have no problem recommending him to a friend or family member.
