How We Help

YOUR TOTAL FINANCIAL PICTURE

Clarity amid complexities – that’s what our wealth management and financial planning services aim to do. We can provide better understanding and integration of your entire financial picture because we take the time to understand your history, goals and needs up front.

A TEAM FOCUSED ON YOU

We create your team of specialists that have worked with other families and can adapt with your preferences and life changes. They will work with you through every step of life – from buying a home or aircraft to planning for wealth transfer or a business sale. Whatever the event is, we create and implement strategies that are tax efficient and supportive of your long-term goals.

CONTINUITY AND INTEGRATION

Because we incorporate many different aspects of your financial life in our strategies, we package our services in a way that’s clear and easy for you. Working with a primary advisor and other advisory staff, we can combine our specialty teams with any outside advisors for seamless integration. As independent advisors, we have no outside interests or affiliations. Our clients always come first.

Part 1: The Multi-Family Office

One of the most common questions prospective client families ask me is about the advantages of working with a multi-family office. “I have an estate planner, and a CPA, and an investment advisor,” they say. “Can’t I just work with them and get the same result?”

Well, yes and no. It’s fair to say that some individual advisors can do the same things as a multi-family office. However, I also think it’s fair to say that this process does not always produce the optimal outcome.

The services provided by multi-family offices are often much broader than other types of advisors. Many other types of firms describe themselves as “family office teams” that operate inside brokerage firms or big banks, even though most do not provide tax preparation or tax advice. Many do not pay a family’s bills or provide strategic support to the family’s charitable foundation. Even fewer will help a family analyze investment opportunities that are presented by firms other than theirs. Many multi-family offices can and will do these things.
