Family and Private Wealth services

Define your family strategy and legacy

Staying true to your family’s values and purpose is important for preserving wealth and creating lasting impact. We help families define what they stand for, fostering alignment across generations. Through our next-generation development programs, we help prepare future leaders with the judgment, leadership skills and financial fluency to navigate the responsibilities of wealth, business ownership and legacy.

Navigate complex tax planning and compliance

Tax considerations should be part of significant decisions about your and your family’s wealth. We help you navigate complex federal, state and local, and cross-border tax regulations, advising on direct investment strategies, entity and ownership structuring, transfer pricing, regulatory compliance, and the tax treatment of real estate, luxury and collectible assets. The goal: greater clarity and more informed decisions designed around your life, legacy and ambitions.

Preserve, grow, and transfer family wealth

For wealth owners, families, family offices, and family enterprises, wealth is rarely simple. It can span direct investments, significant transactions, real estate, philanthropy, and trust and estate planning. We advise across the overall picture, including wealth transfer strategies, corporate development, sell-side and buy-side due diligence, succession planning, philanthropy and compliance. Our approach is built around your life, not just your balance sheet.

Modernize your family office operations

As wealth grows more complex, families and family offices may need greater rigor, professionalism and data-driven insight. Whether you’re building a new family office, enhancing an existing one or managing shareholder services, we help structure your operating model, outsourced accounting and consolidated reporting, and related functions to help support more informed decisions and your family’s personal and financial goals.

Scale your family office through technology

Running a family office can come with real challenges, from limited resources and complex processes to competing for talent. The right technology can help change what’s possible. We assess your current state, design a tailored technology strategy and support implementation of fit-for-purpose systems to help streamline operations, scale more effectively, and prepare for what’s next.

Strengthen family governance and compliance

Strong governance can help families and family offices navigate complex wealth structures with greater clarity and accountability. We help implement and sustain oversight practices, drawing on deep experience to design governance models, conduct independent audits, and create tailored policies that help safeguard what you’ve built. Because good governance isn’t just about managing risk. It can also help preserve trust across generations and across the table.

Stay ahead of cyber, privacy, and personal risk

From cyber threats and privacy concerns to operational, financial and personal security risks, today’s risk landscape is increasingly complex for wealthy individuals and family offices. A proactive approach can help. We help strengthen cybersecurity, enhance privacy safeguards, and develop tailored digital solutions to support agility and help identify emerging risks early. The goal is to help better safeguard what you’ve built and what’s private.

Built for the complexities of family wealth

  • Rely on a team built specifically for private wealth. For decades this has been our focus and not a side practice, combining tax with the full picture of your personal and financial priorities, so you benefit from sharper judgment and clearer answers.
  • Anticipate what's coming, not just what's here. Because we stay engaged across transitions and generations, we help you see around corners and raise the questions worth asking before decisions are made.
  • Work with people who have lived it. Our advisors bring firsthand experience working with individuals and families, understanding what wealth means for your life, not just your balance sheet.
