Who this is for
Early-career professionals in their first to third year of work. Ideal for those navigating new payroll, rent, and pension choices who want a practical, non-judgmental space to ask questions.
Early employment brings new decisions about take-home pay, tax, pensions, and workplace benefits. This programme explains how Irish tax credits work, what payslips actually show, and how to build an emergency fund that fits your monthly commitments. We also look at pension contributions and employer matching, plus simple frameworks for planning around rent and commuting costs. The goal is a clear plan for your first 12 months of work, with a checklist for reviewing your finances each pay cycle. Sessions are practical, with space for confidential questions about your specific situation. We do not provide financial advice or investment recommendations; the content is educational and designed to support informed choices. It suits professionals in the first 1–3 years of work who want steady, realistic habits. You will leave with a monthly plan, a bill calendar, and a savings target you can track.
