Praveen Mahadani

Financial Planning Consultant, MBA (INSEAD), ACSI, in London

A little bit about Praveen

The ultimate aim of my work is to help you become financially independent and self-assured in money matters. Whether it’s building a robust pension pot, looking to maximise the benefits of tax wrappers, inheritance planning through trusts or living a comfortable life in retirement, I ensure financial freedom becomes a lasting asset for you.

While I can help anyone with a financial need, I specialise in working with individuals & company directors from ICT (Information & Communication Technologies) functions – employees as well as IR35 contractors - given my own background in this industry.

I also run free workplace educational seminars & surgeries to help employees understand financial & pension matters. If you wish to organise these sessions at your workplace, please contact me.

An adviser’s insight

Money needs a plan. Here’s where to start

Money doesn’t make decisions on its own. Left sitting in cash, it quietly loses value. That’s why money needs a plan. It’s not about being wealthy or knowing all the answers – it’s about giving your money direction. And in the UK, many people miss out simply because they don’t take that first step.

  • Most people in the UK save sporadically or leave money sitting in cash – missing out on growth.
  • Planning gives peace of mind. It turns uncertainty into clarity.
  • The earlier you start, the more powerful the impact – but it’s never too late.
  • Quilter’s purpose is to help build brighter financial futures. That starts with a plan.
  • Investing always carries risk. The value of investments can go up and down and you may get back less than you invested.

Making your money work for you

Why investing matters

  • Lazy money loses value over time – inflation chips away at it.
  • Investing little and often helps your money grow without needing to be an expert.
  • A plan helps you stay focused and avoid reactive decisions.

Inflation and ‘lazy money’

  • Inflation quietly erodes the value of your savings.
  • £10,000 in cash today could be worth significantly less in 10 years.
  • Investing helps protect your money from inflation and grow it over time.

More about me

I came to the UK almost 25 years ago from India to work in the ICT industry for financial services clients. As a family, while we had a comfortable life style, we had no savings even in to our early forties. Then I lost my job at the age of 45 due to redundancy. At that point, the only assets we owned were a mortgaged house and savings in a deposit account. We had no investments, no pension and no provision for replacing lost income. While I was lucky to find another job, this was a wake-up trigger for me to start thinking about financial independence for my family.

It is my mission to ensure that you do not suffer with the same handicap. I now help individuals & company directors build their wealth, plan for a comfortable retirement and pass on wealth to the next generation – in the most tax efficient ways possible. My client engagement approach is simple & jargon-free - enabling clients to navigate topics like investment strategies, tax-efficient savings and effective retirement & inheritance planning with clarity and confidence.

In my free time, you can find me volunteering with Age UK, in a yoga class or on a tennis court. I have a grown-up daughter as my only child, who finds me quite irritating. I live in outer London (Purely, Surrey) and advise clients in and around London & Surrey.
