Financial advice for Bray and the Wicklow corridor
Independent, Central Bank regulated financial planning — pensions, investments, and protection — for people living and working between Bray, Greystones, and Wicklow town. We meet you locally or online, with a free 45-minute first consultation.

Local to Bray and north Wicklow
An advisor who actually knows the area
We work with families and professionals across Bray, Greystones, Delgany, Kilcoole, Enniskerry, and Wicklow town. Three things that matter when your advisor is local.
We meet where it suits you
In your home, a coffee in Bray or Greystones, or a video call after the school run. Whichever works around your week.
Built for commuters and families
Most of our local clients are dual-income households balancing a Dublin or Wicklow mortgage with kids, pensions, and protection. We plan around that reality.
Independent, not tied to one provider
We are not a bank or a tied agent. We compare the whole market on protection, pensions, and investments, then recommend what genuinely fits.
What we help Bray and Wicklow clients with
Three core areas we'll explore together — based on what you actually need, not a fixed package.

Protect what matters
Mortgage protection, life cover, income protection, and serious illness cover — reviewed against the whole market. If you have a quote, we will match or beat it.

Grow your wealth
Whether you have a lump sum, a regular surplus, or an existing portfolio, we will outline risk-appropriate options aligned to your timeframe and goals.

Retire with confidence
PRSAs, executive pensions, employer scheme reviews, and auto-enrolment readiness. We will calculate what retirement actually costs and map the path to get there.

Working with Shane and the team at Empowered Money has been a hugely positive experience.
Shane's clear, strategic financial advice gave me the confidence and ability to take over a year off work, to travel and spend time with family, while continuing to contribute to my pension and maintaining my financial stability.
Thanks to his guidance, I've now reentered the workforce in a strong position, with my long-term goals still fully on track. I'm incredibly grateful for his support, insight, and the peace of mind his expertise has provided.

What to expect
How the free consultation works
Forty-five minutes, no pressure, and a clear view of where you stand by the end of it.
Choose in-person (we travel across north Wicklow) or video call — whichever suits.
We send a secure digital fact-find so you can share your pension, protection, and investment details at your own pace.
On the call we walk through your situation, flag gaps and quick wins, and answer anything you have been wondering about.
You leave with a clear written summary. No follow-up sales pressure — you decide if and when to go further.
