Nick Charalambous, Managing Director of Alpha Wealth, has announced plans to double the company’s workforce over the next 6 to 12 months, marking a major new chapter of growth for the Cork-based impartial financial advisory firm.
With 11 staff currently across its Cork and Dublin offices, Alpha Wealth plans to hire 10 to 11 new full-time team members. The expansion comes in response to increased client demand and strong business performance, and aims to broaden the firm’s reach while maintaining its commitment to personalised, impartial financial guidance.
This next phase of growth is also being supported by the appointment of Pat Lucey to Alpha Wealth’s newly established Advisory Board. A seasoned project professional and entrepreneur, Pat was co-founder and former CEO of Aspira, growing the company from an Irish firm into a global consultancy with over 280 staff. He was also the first Irish person elected to the Board of Directors of the global Project Management Institute (PMI).
“We are delighted to welcome Pat to our Advisory Board,” said Nick Charalambous, Managing Director of Alpha Wealth. “His expertise in strategic planning, digital transformation and governance will be pivotal as we continue to innovate and scale. Pat’s leadership and alignment with our client-first philosophy make him an ideal advisor as we chart our next chapter.”
Pat Lucey added, “I’m excited to join Alpha Wealth’s Advisory Board and look forward to collaborating with the team to develop innovative strategies that support clients in achieving their financial goals. Alpha Wealth’s commitment to putting clients at the heart of everything they do is very clear, and I hope my experience will add value as the firm continues to grow.”
The recruitment drive is already underway, with six new hires targeted by the end of this year and a further four expected in early 2025.
The roles will be spread across key functions, including financial advisory, tax, administration and graduate trainee positions, with some remote opportunities available for the right candidates. This latest growth phase reflects the firm’s continued upward trajectory, driven by demand from individuals, families, and businesses seeking clear, trustworthy financial advice.
Charalambous says Alpha Wealth’s success is rooted in the strength of its team and its clear mission. “Over the past decade, we’ve built a trusted, impartial advisory firm that empowers clients to take control of their financial futures. As we grow, we’re looking for dynamic and motivated professionals passionate about making a real difference and sharing our vision to simplify finance and help clients build secure financial futures.”
