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.
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.
We cover three distinct areas: regulated financial advice, fractional CFO support, and debt advisory. We bring the same principles to all of them.
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.
Clear, considered advice you can actually act on. We cut through the complexity of financial services.
Whether planning for retirement, growing a business or working through a debt challenge. Advice starts with your circumstances.
Fully regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland (C550360). Advice that meets the highest professional standards.
Regulated, conflict-free advice across pensions, investments, protection and mortgages, from one of Ireland's most qualified independent advisers. We access the full market and recommend only what's right for your situation.
Every area of regulated financial advice, covered under one roof, with the same independent, client-first approach throughout.
Whether starting a pension, consolidating old pots, or approaching retirement. We build a clear, tax-efficient plan around your timeline and income goals.
A comprehensive, no-obligation review of your overall financial position, identifying gaps, opportunities and priorities across all areas of your finances.
Structured investment strategies aligned to your risk profile and time horizon, with full transparency on charges and no hidden product bias.
The right protection ensures that you, your family, and your business are financially secure whatever happens. We search the full market for the best cover at the best price.
From first-time buyers to remortgaging and investment property. Independent mortgage guidance across the Irish market, paired with the right protection cover.
Not all financial advisers are created equal. Here's what sets Agile Finance apart.
We're not employed by or incentivised by any bank, insurer or investment house. Our recommendation is based solely on what's right for you.
We compare across all major providers including Zurich, Aviva, Irish Life, New Ireland, Royal London and more, to find the best fit for you.
QFA, RPA and FCCA qualified. Regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland (C550360). You're protected by the highest standards in the industry.
We're upfront about how we're remunerated, whether fee-based, commission or a combination. No surprises, no small print.
A free, no-obligation consultation is the starting point. We'll review your current position and tell you exactly where you stand.
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.
Three core areas where Fractional CFO support makes the biggest difference for growing businesses, plus the additional services that support them.
Practical, CFO-level strategic input on the financial decisions that shape your business, from pricing and cost structure to growth planning and exit strategy.
Clear, timely financial information that actually helps you run your business, not just compliance reports. We build dashboards and management accounts that tell the real story.
Robust, credible financial models and business plans, whether for internal decision-making, bank funding, or investor presentations.
Identifying the right funding for your business and presenting it compellingly to lenders, drawing on experience from both sides of the banking relationship.
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.
Liam Murphy has operated at Finance Director level across multiple industries. This isn't theory, it's lived experience.
Banking background plus senior business finance experience means we understand what lenders want and what your business needs.
We build financial frameworks that work in the real world, not just on paper. Practical, usable, and built for your team.
Monthly retainer, project-based, or interim. Whatever suits your stage. No lock-in, no overhead.
As your financial adviser too, we can align your business strategy with your personal financial planning, a rare and valuable combination.
A conversation costs nothing. Tell us where you are, and we'll tell you honestly whether and how we can help.
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.
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.
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.
If new or restructured funding is part of the solution, we help you build a credible case, from business plan to lender presentation.
Once immediate pressure is addressed, we help you build a long-term debt management plan that fits your cashflow and gives you a clear path forward.
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.
We work for you, not the bank. Our goal is to get you the best possible outcome, not to protect any lender's position.
Everything discussed stays between us. We approach every situation with discretion and without judgement.
Understanding how credit decisions are made, and how lenders assess risk, gives our clients a significant advantage in any negotiation.
We cut through the anxiety and noise to give you a clear picture of where you stand and what your realistic options are.
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.

Please advise us of those changes so we can ensure you have up-to-date advice and products best suited to your needs.

Pursuant to provision 32 of the Revised Consumer Protection Code 2025 | IGM Finance Limited t/a Agile Finance
We, IGM Finance Limited trading as Agile Finance act as intermediary (Broker) between you, the consumer, and the product provider with whom we place your business.
Pursuant to provision 32 of the Revised Consumer Protection Code 2025 (formally CP116 requirement), all intermediaries, must make available in their public offices, or on their website if they have one, a summary of the details of all arrangements for any fee, commission, other reward or remuneration provided to the intermediary which it has agreed with its product producers.
Remuneration is the payment earned by the intermediary for work undertaken on behalf of both the provider and the consumer. The amount of remuneration is generally directly related to the value of the products sold.
Commission is payment that may be earned by an intermediary for work undertaken for both provider and consumer. There are different types of remuneration and different commission models:
When assessing products, we will consider the different approach taken by product providers in terms of them integrating sustainability risks into their product offering. This will form part of our analysis for choosing a product provider.
General insurance products, such as motor, home, travel, health, retail or liability insurance, are typically subject to a single or standard commission model, based on the amount of premium charged for the insurance product.
In some cases, the intermediary may be a party to a profit-share arrangement with a product provider and will earn additional commission. Any business arranged with these product providers on a client's behalf will be placed with the product provider because that product provider is at the time of placement, the most suitable to meet the client's requirements, taking all the client's relevant information, demands and needs into account.
For Life Assurance products commission is divided into initial commission and renewal commission (related to premium), fund based or trail (relating to accumulated fund). Trail commission, bullet commission, fund based, flat commission or renewal commission are all terms used for ongoing payments. Where an investment fund is being built up through an insurance-based investment product or a pension product, the increments may be based on a percentage of the value of the fund or the annual premium. For a single premium/lump sum product, the increment is generally based on the value of the fund.
Life Assurance products fall into either individual or group protection policies and Investment/Pension products would be either single or regular contribution policies. Examples of products include Life Protection, Regular Premium Life Assurance Investments, Single Premium (lump sum) Insurance-based Investments, and Single Premium Pensions.
Investment firms, which fall within the scope of the European Communities (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations 2007 (the MiFID Regulations), offer both standard commission and commission models involving initial and trail commission. Increments may be based on a percentage of the investment management fees, or on the value of the fund.
Commission may be earned by intermediaries for arranging credit for consumers, such as mortgages. The single, or standard, commission model is the most common commission model applied to the sale of mortgage products by mortgage credit intermediaries (Mortgage Broker).
Clawback is an obligation on the intermediary to repay unearned commission. Commission can be paid directly after a contract is concluded but is not deemed to be 'earned' until after a specified period of time. If the consumer cancels or withdraws from the financial product within the specified time, the intermediary must return commission to the product producer.
The firm may also be remunerated by fee by the product producer such as policy fee, admin fee, or in the case of investment firms, advisory fees.
The firm may also be in receipt of other fees, administrative costs, or non-monetary benefits such as:
IGM Finance Limited t/a Agile Finance believes in transparency and clarity in respect of commissions and remuneration and we will ensure this is outlined to you as part of our engagement process. Our preference is to seek to focus on optimising your interests and focus on regular sustainable commission rather than high initial commission models. This assists us in avoiding any provider bias and in most circumstances we do not take the highest initial commission rate available. Specifics of the actual commission payable for an individual policy are provided in the disclosure documentation at policy issue.
IGM Finance Limited t/a Agile Finance commission options are displayed as a range, showing the maximum amount which can be received. The level of commission depends on individual circumstances, based on the following factors:
