About Us
Personalised Financial Advice, Built Around Your Life
At Regent Wealth Financial Planning, we believe that great financial advice isn’t just about numbers — it’s about people. The firm was founded by Amit Mehta and Kieran Hayes, who together have over 30 years of financial planning experience and have both received multiple industry awards. Kieran Hayes has operated Hayes Finance for the last 20 years and specialises in mortgage and protection advice and brings exceptional operations knowledge to Regent Wealth.
Their shared passion for delivering high-quality, personalised advice, with a strong focus on client service, remains at the core of everything we do.
Based in the heart of London, we are a boutique financial planning firm offering independent, whole-of-market advice to individuals, families, and business owners across London and the South East.
Your Life. Your Goals. Our Expertise.
Our approach is rooted in lifestyle financial planning where we always start with your goals, values, and vision for the future, then build a financial strategy to support the life you want to live. Whether you're planning for retirement, growing your wealth, protecting your family, or preparing to exit your business, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
