Why clients come to Mayfair to see Sean.
My name is Sophie. I manage Sean's diary and I arrange all of his client meetings personally.
When people contact us from London they often ask whether they can come into the office rather than speak by video. The answer is always yes. Sean believes that the most important financial conversations a person will ever have deserve to happen face to face.
Our Mayfair location is not incidental. It reflects the calibre of the work we do and the clients we work with. Business owners. Entrepreneurs. Professionals with complex estates. Families with real wealth and real stakes who want to sit across from someone who understands their position completely and will tell them the truth about it.
Sean Kiani is a qualified Independent Financial Adviser, estate planner and inheritance tax specialist with twenty six years of experience across financial planning, insolvency and business recovery. He did not come to this work through a graduate scheme. He came through consequence. Through watching what happens when plans fail and people have no protection in place.
If you are looking for an estate planner in Mayfair or inheritance tax advice in London, you will not find a more experienced or more direct adviser to sit with.
Most advisers have only seen success. Sean has seen what happens when the plan fails. That is why he knows how to make sure it does not happen to you.
London clients with pension wealth need to act before April 2027.
From April 2027 unspent pension funds will become subject to inheritance tax for the first time. For many London-based clients with significant pension wealth this represents an immediate and substantial exposure. The window to restructure is closing and the strategies available now will not all be available once the legislation takes effect.
Sean is already working with clients on this. If your pension forms part of a larger estate and you have not yet addressed the April 2027 change, this conversation needs to happen now.
What to expect when you come to see Sean.
Before your meeting I will speak with you personally. I want to understand your situation so that when you sit down with Sean your time together is entirely focused on what matters to you. Nothing is wasted. Everything is prepared.
The meeting itself is a Private Estate Review. Sean will take you through your complete estate position in plain language. Your assets. Your liabilities. Your existing wills, trusts and powers of attorney. Your pension exposure. Your inheritance tax liability under current and forthcoming legislation. And the decisions you are considering that may carry hidden risk.
You leave with a written Private Estate Strategy. A document that belongs to you. A clear picture of where you stand and exactly what needs to happen next.
Clients tell me it is the first time someone has explained their situation in a way that actually made sense.
The Private Estate Review is £2,500 for individuals and £3,500 for couples. Fixed fee. No hidden charges. No obligation to proceed to any subsequent service.

Finding us in Mayfair.
Sean's London office is in Mayfair, W1. Meetings are by appointment only and are arranged personally by Sophie.
Mayfair is easily accessible from across London and the Home Counties. Green Park and Bond Street stations are both within walking distance. Parking is available nearby for clients travelling by car.
If you are based outside London, Sean also conducts Private Estate Reviews by secure video and telephone. Distance is not a barrier to getting the right advice.
To arrange a Mayfair appointment contact Sophie directly.
A note from Sophie.
I have sat in on enough of Sean's London meetings to know what happens in that room.
People arrive carrying something they have not been able to put down. A question. A concern. A sense that something in their estate is not quite right but they have never been able to get a straight answer about it.
They leave differently.
Not because Sean tells them what they want to hear. Because he tells them the truth. Clearly. Without hesitation. In plain language that finally makes sense of something they have been carrying for years.
If you are ready for that conversation, I would love to hear from you.
