Jonathan Byrne
Mark from Smart Financial contacted me with a query I had in terms of taking out an illness policy. He explain to me in clear English the pros and cons of income protection vs serious illness and I was extremely happy with the advice I got. I also priced around for better value but Smart Financial was incredibly priced. I would feel very comfortable recommending Smart Financial to friends and family as they are very professional and clear in communication. More...

Thank you for your review Paula.
What do you love most about your job?
As a Financial Advisor I have the privilege of helping individuals with their money, which impacts their whole life. Everyone’s financial situation and paths are unique and to be able to delve a little deeper into people’s past, where they’re headed, and find out what is most important to them allows me to assist them in the best way possible to achieving long-lasting financial goals.
This is hugely rewarding, both personally and financially, as it allows me to develop the most suitable Financial Plan and strategies for securing and protecting not only theirs, but most importantly their family’s financial future and well-being.
It is always humbling to hear directly from clients how myself and my team has had a positive impact on their lives, helping them through either the simplest financial decisions, and at other times more comprehensive financial achievements.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I found my passion starting off my career in the Life Insurance industry in 2005. Gaining significant experience in the areas of Pensions, Investments and the Protection business, I have always had the entrepreneurial mindset to start my own Financial Planning brokerage where I could build up my own team (and company) on the fundamental principles of an ethically run business, with shared ideas and open team communication.
These principles have since enabled my team to be shortlisted for the coveted ‘Best new Brokerage’ accolade in 2015 imparted by the Professional Irish Brokers Association (now Brokers Ireland LPI awards).

Mortgage Protection Insurance
Mortgage Protection insurance is a specialised life insurance policy (or decreasing life cover) designed to pay off a mortgage or a loan in the event of your death.
Mortgage Protection Insurance is a simple and affordable way to safeguard your family against the financial burden of an outstanding mortgage by helping to pay off the remaining balance up to a specified amount.
With the right coverage, your family can continue living in the house they have come to call home.
Life Cover
Life can be unpredictable, but with the right life insurance cover in place, you’ll always have peace of mind.
Whether you’re looking for protection for your family, or cover for your business, we can help you find the right life insurance plan. We all have different needs when it comes to life insurance and here at Smart Financial we’re here to help you choose the right protection policy for you.
Serious Illness Insurance
Serious illness insurance pays you a lump sum if you are diagnosed with one of the specific illnesses or disabilities that your policy covers. It is also sometimes called “Critical Illness Cover”.
It is often sold as an extra benefit on a life insurance or mortgage protection policy; however, it can also be sold as an insurance policy on its own.
What is covered?
- Cancer of specified severity
- Heart Attack
- Stroke
- Kidney Failure
- Major Organ Transplant
- Parkinson’s Disease
Income Protection
Income protection insurance pays out a regular cash payment that replaces part of your lost income if you cannot work due to a medium to long-term illness or disability. It can also be called Permanent Health Insurance “PHI”. It is not the same thing as private health insurance. Income protection insurance does not cover redundancy.
Are you eligible?
To obtain income protection insurance cover, you must be in full-time paid work or be self-employed. Protection of your income is something that is very important. It provides financial support should health take its toll. You can also claim back tax on your income protection premium. Contact your Smart Financial advisor today to see if income protection is a product that is suitable to your needs.
Business Assurance
There are many types of business insurance available. It is very important that you seek independent financial, tax and legal advice before choosing cover that would suit your Company.
An example of a Business Insurance includes Key Person Insurance:
As an employer, you know that running a your business means having a team of great people, but there may be one person who stands out as being a key player in the company’s success. This person’s knowledge, work, or overall contribution is considered uniquely valuable to the company. How would your business cope if that person were to pass away, or become seriously ill? Key Person Insurance helps to protect your business, should such unfortunate events occur.
This is a business-specific life insurance that can compensate a company for the financial loss and other consequences of the death of an important member of the business.
