We are delighted to announce that Chartered Capital has won the Best SME Award at the County Tipperary Chamber Business Awards 2026!
The award was presented following our shortlisting in three categories: Best SME, Best Small Employer and Excellence in Customer Experience. Winning Best SME is a proud moment for our entire team and an important recognition of the business we have worked together to build. It was a privilege to celebrate in Clonmel alongside so many dedicated businesses and professionals from across Tipperary. We congratulate all the winners and finalists whose achievements demonstrate the strength of the county’s business community.
What Winning Best SME Means to Us
For Chartered Capital, sustainable growth means more than increasing the size of the business. It means developing in a way that protects the quality of our client service, supports our people and prepares the firm for the future. Our approach begins with a simple philosophy: “Buy Back Your Time.”
We invest in technology, automation and structured processes to reduce repetitive administration. This allows our team to spend more time on meaningful financial planning, professional development and personal client service. Clear, documented processes also help us maintain high standards as the business grows. They reduce ambiguity, support consistency and create an organised working environment in which our team can perform at its best.
Growth Built Around Our People
Although this is a business award, the achievement belongs to our people.
We believe a strong SME should give its team the opportunity to develop personally and professionally. Every member of the Chartered Capital team has undertaken, or is currently undertaking, funded professional further education since joining the firm. We also involve all employees in decisions about business and service improvements. Their feedback helps us identify better ways of working and ensures that the people delivering our service have a meaningful voice in its development.
That collaborative culture has supported the growth of Chartered Capital while protecting the standards and personal approach that matter to our clients.
Keeping Clients at the Centre
Technology and efficient processes are important, but they are never a substitute for personal service. Our purpose is to give clients the clarity and confidence to make informed decisions about their financial futures. Therefore, every operational improvement must ultimately create a better client experience.
Winning Best SME recognises the connection between these different parts of our business. When our team has the right support, systems and opportunities, our clients receive a more responsive and consistent service.
A Proud Achievement for a Nenagh Business
As a financial planning firm based in Nenagh, we are especially pleased to bring the Best SME Award home to the town. Local businesses contribute far beyond the services they provide. They create employment, support suppliers and help their communities remain active and ambitious.
The County Tipperary Chamber Business Awards provide an opportunity to celebrate that contribution. We were honoured to share the occasion with so many businesses that are investing in their people, serving their customers and contributing to Tipperary’s economic life. We sincerely thank County Tipperary Chamber for this recognition and for bringing the local business community together.
Thank You to Our Team and Clients
This award belongs first and foremost to our team. Their professionalism, care and willingness to keep learning have shaped Chartered Capital into the business it is today. We also thank our clients for their continued confidence in us. Their feedback, recommendations and trust enable us to keep improving and developing.
Winning Best SME is a milestone worth celebrating. However, it also encourages us to maintain the standards that brought us here and to remain curious about how we can do things better.
Final Thoughts
Winning the Best SME Award at the County Tipperary Chamber Business Awards 2026 is a wonderful achievement for Chartered Capital. It recognises the strength of our team, our commitment to sustainable growth and our focus on delivering an exceptional experience for every client.
We are so proud to bring this award home to Nenagh and grateful to everyone who has been part of our journey.
