New jobs in the financial sector have been confirmed for Cork as one of Ireland’s leading advisory firms opens a new office on Leeside.

SYS Financial’s new office in Westpoint Business Park in Ballincollig was officially opened this week by Minister of State at the Department of Finance, Credit Unions and Insurance, Robert Troy TD.

The office opening comes at a time of growth for SYS Financial which manages client assets of over €650 million, with plans to grow to over €1 billion by the end of 2025.

The firm has offices in four locations across Ireland and a 70 strong nationwide workforce.

SYS Financial recently acquired Cork based advisory firms Qifa Financial Partners and Global Life, as well as Wicklow-based Efficient Financial. The company plans a further eight acquisitions this year, two of which are in Cork. With this in mind, staff numbers in Cork are expected to increase to 20 over the next two years, rising to 100 nationwide by the end of 2026.
