A LEADING financial advisory firm has bought Bandon-based ODM Financial Advisers.

The deal marks the third Cork acquisition in the past year for SYS Financial and boosts its managed client assets by €120m to over €900m.

With several additional acquisitions in the pipeline, SYS Financial says is targeting further significant AUM growth this year.

ODM Financial Advisers is a well-established firm in West Cork.

Founded in 2016, the firm has built a strong reputation in Cork and across the Munster region for its client-focused, impartial financial advice.

As part of the acquisition, ODM Financial Advisers’ directors Dan Murphy and Kieran Hurley will join SYS Financial, further strengthening the firm’s advisory expertise.

The Bandon-based team will continue to serve clients locally as part of the wider SYS Financial network.

Dan Murphy, director at ODM Financial Advisers, said: ‘Joining SYS Financial is an exciting development for our business and, most importantly, for our clients.

‘We have always placed our clients at the centre of everything we do, and becoming part of a larger organisation allows us to enhance our offering while continuing to deliver the personalised advice and service our clients expect.’

ODM director, Kieran Hurley said: ‘Becoming part of SYS Financial is a very positive step for our clients and our team.

This move allows us to build on the strong relationships we’ve developed, while enhancing the breadth of expertise and support available to our clients.

‘Importantly, we will continue to deliver the personalised, high-quality advice our clients have come to expect for many years to come.’
