Clarity, structure and long-term focus

At Agile Finance, we help individuals and business owners make confident financial decisions, backed by 20+ years across banking, financial services, regulated environments, and senior industry finance roles.

A different kind of financial adviser

Based in North Dublin and working with clients across Ireland, Agile Finance was built on 20+ years of experience spanning banking, financial services and regulated environments, as well as hands-on industry finance experience at both operational and C-suite level.

That combination of regulated adviser and qualified accountant, and senior finance practitioner. This means we understand your challenges from every angle, whether you're an individual planning your future or a business owner navigating complex financial decisions.

Our approach is simple: clear advice, transparent fees, and long-term relationships built on trust.

Liam Murphy
Managing Director, Agile Finance

"I set up Agile Finance because I saw a real disconnect between complex financial products and the people they're meant to serve. Having my own family made that even clearer. The market is full of options, opinions and noise. I wanted to cut through that and use my experience to help people make genuinely confident decisions about their own futures."

What makes us different

We cover three distinct areas: regulated financial advice, fractional CFO support, and debt advisory. We bring the same principles to all of them.

Genuinely Independent

Not tied to any product provider or platform. Our only objective is to recommend what's right for your situation.

20+ years across banking, regulated financial services and senior business finance roles means we've seen most situations.

No jargon, no noise

Clear, considered advice you can actually act on. We cut through the complexity of financial services.

Built around your goals

Whether planning for retirement, growing a business or working through a debt challenge. Advice starts with your circumstances.

Ready to get clear on your finances?

A free, no-obligation consultation is the starting point. We'll review your current position and tell you exactly where you stand.

Senior financial leadership, without the full-time cost

Growing SMEs and owner-managed businesses need CFO-level thinking but rarely need, or can afford, a full-time Finance Director. Agile Finance fills that gap with practical, hands-on financial leadership.

Where we add value

Three core areas where Fractional CFO support makes the biggest difference for growing businesses, plus the additional services that support them.

🎯

  • Pricing & margin analysis
  • Cost structure & efficiency reviews

  • Monthly management accounts
  • KPI dashboard design & delivery
  • Variance analysis & commentary

📋

Business Planning & Forecasting

  • Grant & state funding identification

Who is this for?

Fractional CFO services work best for businesses at an inflection point: growing fast, preparing for funding, dealing with complexity, or simply lacking the financial infrastructure they need to make confident decisions.

A CFO who's been in your position

Liam Murphy has operated at Finance Director level across multiple industries. This isn't theory, it's lived experience.

Both sides of the table

Banking background plus senior business finance experience means we understand what lenders want and what your business needs.

No unnecessary complexity

We build financial frameworks that work in the real world, not just on paper. Practical, usable, and built for your team.

Flexible engagement

Monthly retainer, project-based, or interim. Whatever suits your stage. No lock-in, no overhead.

Integrated with your adviser

As your financial adviser too, we can align your business strategy with your personal financial planning, a rare and valuable combination.

Let's talk about your business

A conversation costs nothing. Tell us where you are, and we'll tell you honestly whether and how we can help.

You don't have to face this alone

Debt pressure, whether personal or business, can feel overwhelming. We provide calm, expert, independent guidance to help you understand your options and take back control of the situation.

20+ Yrs Banking ExperienceIndependent & ConfidentialAll of Ireland

A structured path forward

Every debt situation is different. We start by listening, then work with you to understand all your options before taking any action.

Many people who come to us have been carrying a debt burden for longer than they should, often because they weren't sure who to turn to, or felt uncertain about whether anything could actually change. In our experience, there is almost always more room to manoeuvre than people realise. The sooner you get a clear, independent view of your position, the more options tend to be available.

🔄

We help you develop a realistic, sustainable restructuring plan and present it to lenders in a way that gives it the best chance of being accepted.

  • Full debt position review
  • Restructuring strategy development
  • Cashflow sustainability analysis

🤝

Lender Negotiation

We negotiate directly with banks and other creditors on your behalf, drawing on two decades of experience in how lenders assess and respond to these situations.

  • Direct lender engagement
  • Term restructuring & rate negotiation
  • Moratorium & payment holiday requests

  • Financial projections & modelling
  • Lender selection & approach strategy
  • Application & negotiation support
  • Alternative funding identification
🗺️

  • Debt consolidation options review
  • Long-range repayment planning
  • Personal & business debt coordination
  • Financial resilience building
  • Ongoing adviser relationship

Experience that makes a difference

Liam Murphy has worked in banking for over two decades. He knows how lenders think, what they look for, and where there is room to negotiate.

Always Independent

We work for you, not the bank. Our goal is to get you the best possible outcome, not to protect any lender's position.

Completely confidential

Everything discussed stays between us. We approach every situation with discretion and without judgement.

Banking experience on your side

Understanding how credit decisions are made, and how lenders assess risk, gives our clients a significant advantage in any negotiation.

Calm, clear guidance

We cut through the anxiety and noise to give you a clear picture of where you stand and what your realistic options are.

Take the first step

A confidential, no-obligation conversation is all it takes to start getting clarity. Whatever your situation, we'll give you an honest assessment of your options.
