Our Story

About Sarah Whelan Consulting

A specialist finance house focused on the capital needs of management consultants, professional services firms and independent advisors across Ireland.

Finance for professional services

Sarah Whelan Consulting Limited was established to provide practical, responsive capital for management consultants, strategy advisors and professional services firms whose cash-flow often depends on engagement stages, client retainers and final payments.

From our base on Palmerston Grove in Dublin we arrange short-term bridging, invoice facilities and project finance for consulting firms and independent advisors. Our approach is relationship-led and grounded in a clear understanding of professional services timelines and payment structures.

We work with consultants and firms who value clarity, sector knowledge and reliable decision-making.
