If you don't have an invocation object available, or if you observe 'Castle.Proxies.IXeroServiceProxy.__target' is inaccessible due to its protection level when trying @s1mm0t's answer, you can try the following code which uses reflection instead of dynamic:

public static T UnwrapProxy(T proxy) {
   if(!ProxyUtil.IsProxy(proxy)) {
      return proxy;
   }
   try {
      const System.Reflection.BindingFlags flags = System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance;
      var proxyType = proxy.GetType();
      var instanceField = proxyType.GetField("__target", flags);
      var fieldValue = instanceField.GetValue(proxy);
      return (T) fieldValue;
   }
   catch(RuntimeBinderException) {
      return proxy;
   }
}
