MGM Financial Services DAC is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.
Declan has spent 30 years in the financial profession, having worked with New Ireland and Aviva. Several years working with IMO Financial Services led Declan to specialise in helping doctors with their financial planning.
This was brought to a new level with the establishment of MGM Financial Services in 2011. Declan takes great satisfaction in helping clients achieve their short and long-term goals, to worry less about their finances, and to sleep well at night.
Outside of the office you’ll find Declan spending time with his family and two young daughters(Julia & Shona), who keep him very busy.
Cycling and attempting to play seven-a-side football keeps Declan on his toes. And he is MGMs resident musician, although some might say the competition is not very tough!
Clíodhna came to financial services via a varied marketing career and a stint of working around Europe in lots of different roles. Having worked with Standard Life for 11 years Clíodhna joined MGM Financial Services in 2017 to work more closely with clients and hasn’t looked back since. She enjoys nothing more than simplifying financial issues and bringing solutions to life with clients.
Clíodhna is a Certified Financial Planner and is currently Treasurer of the Financial Planners of Ireland (FPI), the voice and community for Financial Planners in Ireland.
And when she’s not cruching numbers you’ll find her chasing a rugby ball around a pitch. Either that or chasing one of her three kids – no rest for the wicked!
Mary has been working in financial services for many years having worked with the IMO Financial Services before establishing MGM Financial Services with Declan. Prior to that she worked in both commercial and private banking.
Mary has vast experience in advising Doctors in all areas of their financial lives and has built strong working relationships with all her clients. In recent years she has become an expert in entry and exit strategies, an area she particularly enjoys.
Outside of work you will find Mary working tirelessly to promote Tennis within both her own beloved Charleville LTC and within Leinster. And if she’s not doing that, she’s spoiling her family and her pets – we all want Mary to adopt us!
Carol has the most varied working background of any of the team in MGM Financial Services having previously worked in everything from bar management to lifeguarding and almost everything in between.
She’s a relative newcomer to the financial industry with only 10 years so far and was a natural from the start. MGM was Carol’s first experience in the profession and now neither Carol nor the team could imagine life without her keeping us all on track.
Outside of work Carol’s passions are swimming and her 4 legged friends, who we all agree are truly living their best lives. The MGM team are hoping at least one of us will be reincarnated as one of Carol’s pets!
Paula has over 20 years’ experience in financial services, having previously worked for Abbey Life, which then became Canada Life. Her work experience included Commissions, Premium Collection, Policy Alterations, Customer Service and finally Sales Support in both Broker and Direct Sales.
Within MGM Financial Services Paula works predominately with our Group Schemes and has a real knack for translating complex pension lingo into understandable information. Paula was the very first member of the Support Team when MGM opened its doors back in 2011. That was a very welcome return to work for her after being a stay-at-home slave for the previous 6 years after her 3 sons were born.
Those three boys (including twins) are now teenagers and Paula describes living with Conor, Daniel, Luke and husband Paul as living in a man-cave. Lots of sports, laundry, messing and lots of laughing! She somehow finds time for herself with walking, Yoga and swimming. Her top tip is Sandycove for a nice dip!
Maura has over 20 years’ experience in financial services. Within MGM Financial Services she works in client services and focuses on compliance best practice. The whole team relies on her to keep us all on the straight and narrow. And the best part is she manages it all in the most good natured way.
When not working for MGM, you will find Maura on the golf course trying to better her handicap, swimming in the sea to cleanse her soul or walking her beloved promenade with friends. Often times she will have several grandchildren in tow, that is if she’s not traipsing around the world!
Kathleen is our most recent recruit and is already an invaluable member of the Support Team. And in a close-knit team like MGM Financial Services that means she covers a very diverse range of work in her average day.
Kathleen previously worked in abrdn (formerly Aberdeen Standard Investments/Standard Life Investments) for over 20 years supporting senior management and their teams within the Distribution/Business Development functions for Ireland and Europe.
When not working you’ll find Kathleen enjoying the great outdoors – cycling, swimming and most recently have taken back up running, relaxing and spending quality time with her family.
Alison is a recent addition to the MGM Financial Planning team, bringing over five years of experience in the life and pensions industry.
Her diverse background in the industry has equipped her with a strong understanding of client needs and financial solutions.
She is currently studying for the postgraduate diploma in Financial Planning with a view to becoming a Certified Financial Planner in the near future.
When she’s not working or studying, she enjoys staying active at the gym, spending quality time with friends and family, and exploring new culinary adventures.
